Bajaj Finserv wanted to make waves in healthcare. So, it bought a wobbly ship.
Back when it was launched in 2020, Bajaj Finsev Health had a clear plan: it wanted to provide a complete healthcare package to its consumers.
And it did that by happily playing a supporting role in India’s booming healthcare industry.
Here's what Bajaj Finserv Health does. It is essentially a health management platform. So it facilitates things like doctor consultations and health checkups to its 400-odd corporate clients. Simple enough.
But four years later, the company’s vision has evolved. They want to take things to the next level. It’s clearly sick of playing a supporting role. So it has decided to step into the spotlight. The first step was to acquire 22-year-old Vidal Healthcare, whic...

Subway is slowly doing away with what makes it Subway: Choice
Просмотров 5852 часа назад
Subway, the globally popular sandwich-eatery chain, is now grappling with sweeping changes in India-and not for the better. For one, the world’s largest quick-service restaurant (QSR) brand is moving away from the franchise model it has operated under for the past 25 years. In doing so, it’s also shedding the very thing that made it popular in the first place: choice. Tune in. Don't forget to s...
Why the Big Billion Days sale can make or break Flipkart's quick-commerce dreams
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.4 часа назад
Last month, a Twitter post a Bengaluru-based IT professional about getting a laptop delivered from Flipkart went viral on social. The reason? Flipkart’s quick delivery arm called Minutes that went live in select cities had delivered it to him at a Starbucks cafe in 13 minutes. But Minutes is Flipkart’s third attempt at quick delivery. And the real test is actually around the corner when the Big...

Why couldn't Stripe become the Stripe of India? (Highlights Only) | Two by Two | The Ken
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.14 часов назад
It seems like ‘invite only’ is a rite of passage for Stripe. If Stripe entered India with an invite-only step, then it seems reasonable to assume that it’s leaving India on the basis that it’s doing invite-only again. Over seven years, Stripe, the world’s mightiest fintech, currently valued at $70 billion (and at $95 billion at its peak), could not make a dent in India. It had a great product, ...

How do you get JEE aspirants to stay in school? Hire 200 IITians.

India's tuition republic came into the picture to fill the gaps in the education system. First and foremost: they promise to get you into the college of your dreams. That simple but powerful promise has made this a Rs 58,000 crore industry. But there is a flip side to this. It puts traditional schools in a rather precarious position. Students start trickling out of the system after class 10. Th...

What has two wheels, runs on electricity, and is Ola Electric's next big bet?

On Independence Day this year, just six days after it went public, Ola Electric launched three new electric motorbikes. This was a bold move, especially considering that electric vehicles haven’t really clicked with the Indian audience yet. The exception to that rule has been electric two and three wheelers, which had some unexpected success in tier-2 India. But motorcycles are not scooters. Pe...

12 years of schooling is losing out to private coaching as entry into India’s colleges gets increasingly centralized via entrance exams. School education is a fundamental right in India.

    One thing that could have been added to the conversation is Stripe's recent acquisition of LemonSqueezy.
