Glance is really bad. I hope it never comes on iOS. Else I’ll have to got for Android phones with mod  
  
  
 You’ve almost no way to disable glance in most of the Android phones. So much dark pattern. Hope oems realize how bad glance screens are sooner than later.

InMobi Secures $100 Million Debt to Fuel AI Ambitions and Acquisitions

Journalist

VC funding based on revenue multiples and profit (😂😂😂) multiples is soon going to be obsolete. 

Common sense says company's valuation should be summation of yearly profits it can generate till the company exists... 

So if reliance has profit of 8 billion $ , market estimates that it's valuation should be around 25x multiple of its profit that is to say that if reliance keeps on generating same amount of profit for year on year, it will not exist after 25 years.

Now tell me, what shelf live does these VC funded startup have?

I honestly don't see all these tom dick and Harry mobile based and web based startups existing by end of this decade thanks to AI revolution.

People are still oblivion to what AI will do to white collar jobs 



Just out of curiosity, is there any single VC funded Indian startup in last 10-15 years which is immensely profitable ? 

Or for that matter any global giants like Amazon, Uber, Airbnb etc. which has turned profitable in Indian territory?

Hello Product manager,
I was working on some b2b idea and one thing made me to research about D2C brands marketing on fintech apps through coupon cards. And i have seen D2C market getting good conversation rates than google ads. Even fintech also cracked this revenue stream because of users. 
But one thing i did not understand is why OLA, uber, rapido not going into ad things? When they can also provide coupon cards of brands when users completing rides? 

Every response will be helpful and it will be very insightful if you really work in this companies.

Why is CRED spending so much on Ads ? Do they really need it ?

Senior Software Engineer

Everyone is raising questions about why startups are losing money so heavily

But on the other aspect, do people see that the sectors which are the highest loss making have become a crucial impact of our lives?
Example
Hospitality, Ed-Tech,Food Tech, Logistics and Ride hailing

Can we imagine our lives to go back where we were 10-12 years ago without such services?

I think the bigger game is going to be get more people to use the platform, make them high intent users and get them so used to to the platform that it becomes a necessity
Hence I feel they are spending money to grab the audience and then build on it
I am quite sure a lot of companies are going to fall, but that is how a the world of business behaves
Would love to know thoughts

Are loss making startups good or bad?

Business Development Manager

After krutrim, perfios, Porter is the 3rd startup which has turned unicorn 🦄 

It has solved some problem for sure unlike krutrim 

I remember, when I moved to blr...it was a life saviour.

Such startups deserve to be an unicorn 🦄

3rd Unicorn 🦄 of 2024

Porter is actually amazing. I use them at least once a month and they’re so on point  
  
 One of the guys who made Grapevine is ex-Porter 🫡

Once a poster child among all startups InMobi now seems to have lost its charm. Is everything good and how is current work culture especially for tech and product folks?

How is InMobi doing these days?

Cred is a Mafia it seems 😂

- NPCI is expected to set a 1.2% interchange fee for pre-sanctioned credit lines on UPI, with a circular likely next week.
- The credit line will not be available for person-to-person transfers, focusing instead on merchant transactions.
- Interchange fees are crucial for covering the risk and interest for the capital deployed by credit issuers.
- Negotiations are ongoing between NPCI, banks, and UPI apps regarding revenue sharing, with TPAPs like PhonePe and Google Pay likely to get 0.08% commission.
- The product has faced delays due to a lack of strong business cases, but NPCI mandates may drive adoption.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

A lot of noise around AI taking coding jobs, which i fear might be real. Like not completely but you get my point. So how should one upskill themselves (especially the average folks, top 1/2% will not be affected in any field imo) for the upcoming shift? Like will data analytics/science or maybe ai/ml engineering jobs be on rise ? Should be start upskilling in those fields or any other suggestions? I would really like to know it from someone who has good experience in the industry or someone with good insight. Thanks

I had heard Waycool was also talking to raise at unicorn valuation, but they've fired like 300 people on Monday, so that's pretty uncertain. What to make of Zepto, though?

India's 109th unicorn?

Data Scientist

Was asking for some advice on fundraising. Got to know if you are building something with no revenue, literally impossible to raise.

He explained how hard it is even for the current founders and expecting 100s of startups to fail next year with talent going cheap due to all the layoffs.

Very hard to think how to monetise B2C if people don’t even link their credit or debit cards with Apple Pay and Android for in-app purchases. Also for B2B Saas, it’s better to build for US from India than building for India.

Just “profit” over growth now. Nothing else matters 💭
