.@Google eyes India’s @sharechatapp as #Microsoft goes after #TikTok in the US — here’s why it makes sense

businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news…

By @pabsgill Image
➡️Global tech giants are on the hunt for the next big social network. #Facebook has rolled out #InstagramReels and #Microsoft is looking to get its hands on the real deal by acquiring #TikTok’s US business.
➡️ Meanwhile, in India, @Google is trying to finally get a piece of pie by investing in the country’s home-grown social networking platform,@sharechatapp.

Neither Google nor ShareChat have commented on the claims that the companies are in the preliminary stages of negotiations.
❓ShareChat is a social networking platform, which, within itself, has a TikTok alternative — called Moj — that has gained traction since the ban on Chinese apps was announced in India.

“This will enable Google to have a shot at its social networking ambitions but as of now...
... we see it as a strategic investment if it happens,” said counterpoint analyst Tarun Pathak.

The investment would not just give Google an opportunity to make headway in the social networking game, but also allow it to leverage ShareChat’s vernacular content.
➡️The Indian social network is currently the fastest growing local language social media platform in India with support for 14 Indian languages and more than 60 million active users.
➡️Investing in #ShareChat fits in perfectly with #Google wanting a piece of the pie in India’s rising digital adoption.

#Brahmastra wipes out over ₹800 crore wealth of PVR and Inox #investors

businessinsider.in/stock-market/n…

By @jainrounak
Forget making back money, it looks like Brahmastra is taking down PVR & Inox investors with itself. With early reviews pouring cold water on #Brahmastra’s prospects, India’s largest theater chains PVR & Inox have cumulatively lost over ₹800 crore in market capitalization today.
In Indian mythology, #Brahmastra is known as a weapon of unstoppable destruction, which can only be stopped by its counterattack astra (weapon). Ironically, the movie could end up being a victim of the weapon it is named after.

By @jainrounak
#KingCharlesIII takes over as the British monarch after the death of #QueenElizabethII, and that will lead to a demonetisation in the UK. New coins and currency notes will be minted and printed after the designs are approved.

#QueenElizabeth
The death of #QueenElizabethII has given the British monarchy its first King after over 70 years. The old coins and notes will be slowly phased out of circulation.

The old coins and notes featuring #QueenElizabeth II will continue to be legal tender for the time being.
