Hello there

How has the new year been treating you? Me, I’ve been living at my new place for just over two weeks now, and I’m really enjoying it so far. The amount of space and freedom is such a breath of fresh air for my fiancée and me.

One thing, though: There are so many chores! There’s something to do every day - whether it’s cleaning the toilets, doing the laundry, going grocery shopping, cooking, or any one of a million other things. It’s like we’re constantly in motion.

In that vein, today’s premium piece looks at some of the most active startups and tech companies in India. I mean, you’ve got to be on your toes if you’re gonna be one of the country's 50 top-funded firms, right?
