upGrad has acquired a 90 percent stake in Internshala through a stock-swap deal valued at around ₹100 crore, marking a major shift in India’s career-tech landscape. The move aims to connect learning, internships, and early career opportunities on a single platform. Internshala, with 34 million users and 450,000 employers, will continue operating independently while using upGrad’s tech and industry network to scale its revenue beyond ₹100 crore in the next two years. The acquisition reflects the growing push in India’s edtech sector toward integrated, outcome-focused career solutions. #upGrad #Internshala #CareerTech #EdtechNews #StartupNews #IndianStartups #MergersAndAcquisitions #TechNews #SkillsDevelopment #YouthCareers

Uber injects Rs 3,000 crore into its India business to counter competition from Bengaluru-based Rapido and maintain its market position. The funding, totaling around $330 million, was deployed in two tranches via equity shares to Uber’s Dutch parent. While Uber India’s revenue grew modestly to Rs 3,849 crore in FY25, losses surged to Rs 1,511 crore amid competitive spending. Rapido, dominating two- and three-wheeler segments with 65% market share, grew revenue 44% to Rs 934 crore. The capital infusion signals a new aggressive phase in India’s ride-hailing market, emphasizing the importance of cash reserves, driver incentives, and strategic growth. #UberIndia #RideHailing #Rapido #StartupIndia #MobilityIndia #TechNews #FundingNews #IndianStartups #Transportation #BusinessGrowth #MarketCompetition #Investment #MobilityTech #StartupFunding #IndianEconomy
