Any merchant needs to work with a licensed payment aggregator to accept online payments. Many relied on Juspay as an orchestration platform—essentially, an “aggregator of aggregators” to help them integrate with different payment aggregators as a failsafe. Put simply, if one payment aggregator goes down, Juspay automatically ensures that merchants can continue accepting payments through an alternative.

Property prices across Indian cities have gone through the roof, up by nearly 30% in the last two years. This along with ever increasing rent and general cost of living has made planning for the future quite challenging for those in their 20s and 30s. So has the idea of home ownership changed among the younger generations, like in many Western countries where more and more people are choosing to rent rather than buy? Or are we still attached to the idea of owning a home?

Installing the apps for Jar, Safegold, or Gullak is disarmingly simple. Enter a phone number, wait a few seconds for the one-time password, and just like that, the platforms set up daily micro-savings accounts for digital gold. The Ken tested all three apps, and it’s impressive how frictionless this onboarding process is. This ease of investment is a big part of why these platforms are thriving. Take Jar—the poster boy of the digital-gold space in India—for instance.

Awadesh: 300,000 cars would have been sold in the last two-and-a-half or three years. Now these 300,000 cars would require charging in public places or at home, right? Now, in India currently, we have roughly 10,000 to 12,000 charging points. So if you have 10,000 to 12,000 charging points against 300,000 cars, it means you already have a 1:25 or 1:20 ratio, which is as good as the European countries. So in terms of numbers, we don’t have fewer (charging points).

Welcome to the big fat sustainable Indian wedding! Over the last few years, sustainability has become a big buzz word in the wedding industry. Multiple wedding planners told Daybreak that couples are now increasingly asking for more ‘sustainable’ alternatives while planning their big day — from offsetting the carbon footprint of the event, to setting up compost pits in the middle of their wedding venues. This growing environmental consciousness makes sense.

At the end of 2024, Indigo, India’s largest airline, was voted as the airline of the year by Centre for Aviation (CAPA) at the 2024 Global Aviation Awards for Excellence. And then just a couple of weeks later, the airline was in for a rude shock when a survey by a German consumer-rights group ranked it among the worst 10 airlines in the world. Indigo, of course, refuted the findings of the survey and cast doubts on the credibility of the agency that released it.
