India hands out one trillion rupees for the middle class

Feb 1, 2025 | moniify.com | Sumit Kumar |Ronojoy Mazumdar |Yuvraj Malik |Ankush Chibber

The 2025 union budget sends one clear message: spend, spend, spend. With tax cuts fattening wallets, investors piled into stocks of carmakers, FMCG giants, and food delivery firms in a rare Saturday trading session. Short-term demand got a shot in the arm, and investors cheered, but big-ticket reforms? Nowhere to be seen. That puts the pressure on the Reserve Bank of India — if it slashes rates next week, the markets could finally see off the gloom.
India wants its own ChatGPT. Will Budget 2025 deliver?

Jan 31, 2025 | moniify.com | Yuvraj Malik |Ankush Chibber

As ChatGPT and DeepSeek upend the global tech game, India faces a daunting question: can it ever produce an AI contender? With the budget announcement on Saturday, the tech industry is eager for policy shifts that could transform India from a software services giant into an IP-driven innovation powerhouse. India’s tech ecosystem has thrived on consumer tech — Jio, Flipkart, Swiggy — but true disruption has been scarce in AI and deep tech.

And you can count on a lot of them being glued to their screens come budget day, closely tracking any movement on everything from taxes to levies on goods. Here’s what MONIIFY will be looking out for.
Swiggy’s IPO hangover kicks in as quick commerce battle heats up

Jan 28, 2025 | moniify.com | Ronojoy Mazumdar |Yuvraj Malik |Azar Zaidi

Swiggy is floundering after one of India’s biggest internet IPOs in years. Its shares tumbled nearly 9% during Monday’s DeepSeek-triggered global equity sell-off, briefly dipping below its November IPO price of 390 rupees on Tuesday. Zomato wasn’t spared either, sliding 4.4% at the start of the week, and only partially making up losses on Tuesday. And it is all down to valuations.
Microsoft is eyeing TikTok (again), Trump says

Jan 28, 2025 | moniify.com | Yuvraj Malik |Ankush Chibber

Donald Trump spilled the tea on a possible mega-deal Monday night: Microsoft is back in the chase for TikTok. The Windows maker is leading the pack of potential buyers for ByteDance’s American TikTok arm. This isn’t Microsoft’s first rodeo. Back in 2020, during Trump’s first TikTok tantrum, the company was also in the running to snap up the app. For Microsoft, this is more than a shot at redemption in social media (anyone remember the LinkedIn gamble?). Read more: TikTok’s back. So what’s next?
TikTok ban lifts Duolingo as users flee to Chinese video apps

Jan 17, 2025 | moniify.com | Yuvraj Malik |Lin Noueihed

As the US tightens its noose around TikTok, an unlikely winner has emerged: Duolingo. The language learning platform has seen a 216% surge in people learning Mandarin in the US compared to the same period last year. And its stock has risen more than 7% since the start of last week. The app, with its iconic green owl mascot, is riding the exodus of TikTok users migrating to Chinese app RedNote (Xiaohongshu), which is in Mandarin.

The TikTok US chronicles: Ban, band-aid, or bold deal?

Jan 15, 2025 | moniify.com | Yuvraj Malik |Azar Zaidi

The US wants TikTok out, TikTok wants to buy time, and Elon Musk’s X smells an opportunity. Pass the popcorn. The world is watching as the US and China go head-to-head over… a social media network. And the stakes are HIGH: TikTok has 170 million users in the US and 7 million business accounts. It says it added $8.5 billion to the US GDP in 2023.
