How Anugrah lured investors with the promises of 20% returns?
Dear Balbir Singh,
In the week gone by, we had a very interesting mix of stories covering a wide range of topics. Our deep dives into how Anugrah lured investors with the promises of 20% returns and why merely launching local versions of an app store may not be enough to rebalance the market in favour of developers and startups were much appreciated. We have also explored whether SonyLiv can become the fourth dominant OTT player. We have told you about ICMR’s seven missteps even as India fights the pandemic, and why public confidence will be higher if a big government bank steps in to take the reins at Lakshmi Vilas Bank.
