Startup 360 Magazine - November 2016

In this issue

Dear Readers,
It is my pleasure to bring the latest issue of Startup 360. November 2016, among other things, witnessed the implementation of a highly ambitious monetary policy by the present government – demonetisation of high-denomination currency (INR 500 & 1000). While the whole nation delved in the debate whether the demonetisation move really benefitted India, one sector, dominated by ingenious startups, gained significantly; Financial Technology or Fin-tech. Digital payment platforms and mobile wallets such as Paytm experienced tremendous surge in transactions and millions of first time users in a very short span of time. Taking the cause of startups further, our issue covers news of the spur in the Indian startup ecosystem, under the ‘Trending’ section. The Big Player for this issue is a leading ad-tech company, Fork Media, which is making waves in the technology driven advertising space. Also featured are startups like HealthSocho, Uncoin, and CompareRaja that are armed with novel concepts and drive technology and innovation as key enablers in attaining unprecedented growth in a short span of time. We also bring the Curtis & Hayes story, earlier featured as the Big Player in September 2016 issue. There is also a feature on the investing ideology of the niche VC firm, Accelerate Forward. All in all, we bring the November 2016 issue with stories that inform, inspire, and motivate.
