Dear Niveshaks,

This month we bring to you the most talked about Flipkart and Snapdeal merger as our cover story. The e-commerce sector in India is rapidly evolving and growing in leaps and bounds. The proliferation of many e-commerce startups from 2009 has resulted in tough competition in this sector and none of the startups have been able to witness any profits from their inception. In this light a merger has been proposed between two of major home grown e commerce players of the country – Snapdeal and Flipkart, which are funded by Soft Bank. This merger will lead to a mammoth company
which can take on Amazon - a multi billionaire funded e commerce giant in India.

Article of the month talks about how states are plagued with massive debts and what’s in stake for them. If the states continue to run their budgets in such huge debts, the economy will turn to an unsustainable one. Fin Gyaan throws some light on the concept of Universal Basic Income and its costs implications on the government, if implemented. FinSight throws light on how to revive the private investments in India.

For FinView we got the interview of Somak Gosh, Managing Partner at Contrarian Capital on the future of startup space in India. The classroom touches on the concept of “Winner’s Curse”, which is explained at length. The TMTW section covers news on the fall of Sun Pharma stocks, Implications of GST, changes to the fiscal year for MP to align it with the international standards.


Finally, we would like to thank our readers for their immense support and encouragement. You remain our prime motivating factor that keeps our spirits high and gives us the vigor and vitality to keep working hard. We hope you had a great month and wish you the best for the new one.
