The development came to light through an internal email sent by founder and CEO Abhinav Shashank, which later surfaced on social media platforms including Reddit.

In the email, Shashank explained that the layoffs were part of a broader organisational restructuring driven by artificial intelligence adoption and workflow automation. According to him, several operational processes that previously required large teams are now being handled by AI-powered systems.

The company later confirmed the layoffs in an official statement, saying the restructuring is aimed at building a leaner, faster, and more outcome-focused organisation.

“As part of a global organisational change, Innovaccer is aligning its team to current business priorities. We are building an organisation that is lean, fast and focused, which prioritises speed and measurable outcomes for our customers,” the company stated.

This marks the second major layoff round at Innovaccer in recent years. In January 2023, the healthcare technology firm had laid off nearly 15% of its workforce, affecting around 245 employees.

The latest workforce reduction comes only months after Innovaccer completed a major ESOP buyback programme worth $75 million in January 2026. The buyback provided liquidity opportunities to both current and former employees holding vested stock options.

Founded in 2014, Innovaccer operates a healthcare data and analytics platform that helps hospitals, healthcare providers, and insurance companies unify and manage clinical as well as operational data more efficiently.

Over the years, the company has built a strong presence in the United States healthcare market and works closely with provider networks, hospitals, and payers.

Innovaccer has also emerged as one of India’s leading healthcare technology unicorns. In January 2025, the company raised $275 million in its Series F funding round from investors including B Capital, Kaiser Permanente, and Generation Investment Management.

To date, the startup has raised nearly $675 million in funding and is valued at over $3.4 billion.

Financially, Innovaccer reported operating revenue of ₹387.71 crore and a profit of ₹36.1 crore for the financial year ending March 2025.

The layoffs also reflect a broader trend across the global technology and startup ecosystem, where companies are increasingly restructuring operations around AI and automation technologies.

Earlier this year, Livspace reportedly laid off nearly 1,000 employees as part of its own transition toward becoming an AI-native organisation.

As businesses continue integrating AI into core operations, many startups and technology firms are now focusing on improving efficiency, reducing costs, and streamlining teams while adapting to rapidly evolving market conditions.

PensionBox founder Kuldeep Parashar said the fresh capital, along with earlier investments, will support the company’s scaling plans over the next one to two years. He declined to disclose the valuation.

Zerodha acquired a 51% stake in the Bengaluru-based startup, providing a complete exit to early investors including 100X.VC, SAT Industries, Keynote Capital, LetsVenture, and a group of angel investors. The transaction was confirmed by Parashar.

Founded in 2021 by brothers Kuldeep Parashar and Shivam Parashar, PensionBox is a PFRDA-regulated digital pension platform that helps individuals and companies manage National Pension System (NPS) accounts. The platform enables instant account opening, investment tracking, SIP contributions, and automated Corporate NPS, offering a faster alternative to traditional pension processes.

Following the acquisition, the founders will collectively retain a 48% stake in the company.

Parashar said PensionBox will focus on the corporate NPS segment under the partnership, while Zerodha’s Coin will serve retail users. 

Neelesh Verma of Zerodha said Rainmatter does not interfere in founder decisions and invests only with alignment of vision. PensionBox will operate independently across retail and corporate segments, while Zerodha will focus on fixed income products such as NPS, fixed deposits, and mutual funds.

For the fiscal year ended March 2025, PensionBox reported operating revenue of Rs 1.75 lakh against expenses of Rs 77 lakh, resulting in a net loss of Rs 75 lakh.

1) Razorpay — payments powerhouse in IPO prep

Why it matters: Razorpay remains India’s marquee payments fintech, scaling rapidly across merchant payments, payouts and enterprise banking products. The company’s post-money private valuation was reported at about $9.2 billion in mid-2025 and it has been publicly linked to IPO plans and large capital raises as it moves toward listing.

What to watch: Razorpay’s path to profitability, regulatory shifts in digital payments, and the pricing/timing of any IPO will be key signals for the fintech market and for investor appetite toward large Indian tech IPOs.

2) PhonePe — scaling toward a giant public listing

Why it matters: PhonePe is preparing for a major IPO in 2026 and has filed updated papers that suggest a target valuation in the neighborhood of $15 billion for the offering. The company dominates a large share of UPI volume and is a top contender for the largest India tech IPOs of 2026.

What to watch: PhonePe’s IPO structure (largely an offer-for-sale), progress on narrowing losses, and investor appetite for large, growth-at-scale fintechs.

3) CRED — big revenue, narrowing losses

Why it matters: CRED continued to scale revenue in FY25 while trimming losses a sign that monetisation efforts are yielding results. The company reported sizable FY25 revenues and materially lower operating losses versus prior year, which positions it as a high-value fintech trying to convert scale into sustainable profitability.

What to watch: Product diversification (credit products, wealth, B2B offerings), margin improvement, and whether CRED can sustain revenue growth without outsized marketing spend.

4) Byju’s — once-dominant, now a cautionary case

Why it matters: Byju’s the company that once ranked as India’s most-valuable edtech startup — has faced serious legal and financial setbacks through 2024–25, including court rulings and insolvency proceedings. Recent legal developments have major implications for governance standards and investor protection in the Indian startup ecosystem.

What to watch: Outcomes of ongoing legal proceedings, recovery or restructuring plans, and how investors and founders adjust governance expectations after Byju’s turmoil.

5) Foodtech & travel giants: Zomato and Swiggy — scale + path to profit

Why they matter: Both companies are among India’s highest-profile consumer tech names. Zomato is a public company that has demonstrated the sector’s ability to scale revenues and improve unit economics; Swiggy has continued to expand product lines (groceries, instamart, logistics) and to tighten losses. These firms helped define investor expectations for foodtech unit economics. (sector context no single valuation cited here; see company filings for precise market caps / private valuations.)

What to watch: Food delivery break-even by unit and geography, profitability from adjacent services (instacart/grocery, cloud kitchens), and margin improvement.

6) D2C & quick commerce names: Zepto, Meesho, and D2C challengers

Why they matter: Quick commerce and D2C brands captured large private capital pools in prior years. Some firms doubled down on path-to-profit playbooks; others saw valuation resets. The segment remains capital-intensive but crucial for FMCG and retail distribution innovation.

What to watch: Cash burn per order, retention & repeat rates, and consolidation / M&A among smaller D2C players.

7) Fintech & wealth platforms: Groww, Zerodha (market leaders)

Why they matter: Wealthtech and retail brokerage firms continued to grow transaction volumes and revenues as India’s retail participation in capital markets expanded. Some firms prepared secondary liquidity events or public listings, which lifts valuations across the sector.

What to watch: Revenue diversification (mutual funds, direct equities, subscription), regulatory changes affecting broking margining, and IPO/secondary windows.

Macro trends shaping 2025–26 valuations

1. IPO wave & public comparables. Several large startups (or soon-to-be-public firms) notably PhonePe and Razorpay are moving toward listings. Successful public debuts can re-rate private valuations and unlock liquidity for founders & early backers.
2. Profitability and unit economics matter more. Investors are shifting from “growth at any cost” to disciplined growth: margin improvement, lower cash burn and path-to-profit are frequently required by new rounds or IPO prospectuses.
3. Regulation is a growing risk and catalyst. Payments regulation, digital lending rules, and corporate governance scrutiny (highlighted by high-profile cases) are changing how investors price risk. The Byju’s saga is a reminder that governance failures can erase value fast.
4. Consolidation in crowded categories. Quick commerce, D2C fashion and some fintech verticals are seeing M&A, larger players acquiring talent/tech rather than competing solely on cash burn.
5. The unicorn club remains large but recalibrated. India’s count of unicorns kept rising into 2025, but headline valuations are now judged against profitability and realistic IPO comparables. Industry trackers reported well over 100 Indian unicorns in recent months, underscoring scale but also the need for differentiation.

What investors and founders should be watching now

• Credibility of public filings and governance: investors are reading prospectuses and RoC filings more carefully; governance lapses can have outsized consequences.
• Capital efficiency over chase for market share: companies that show improving unit economics attract better late-stage terms.
• Timing of IPOs and secondary windows: Razorpay and PhonePe are the names most likely to reshape public perception of India tech with large IPOs.
• Regulatory clarity in payments and lending: policy moves will materially affect business models and valuations in fintech.

These aren’t just bold statements. They’re the manifesto of a visionary  Kirti Prakash Mishra, founder of YoLearn.ai, who believes the education system, as we know it, is broken beyond repair.

From Chalkboards to Code: Why the System Is Failing.

For decades, we’ve been sold the promise that EdTech would revolutionize learning. But billions of dollars later, the average classroom is still a factory, just more digital.

>Videos replaced textbooks.
>Dashboards replaced diaries.
>Gamification replaced imagination.
The outcome? A repackaged, digitized version of Industrial Education 2.0, scaled globally but still disconnected from individual intelligence and emotional depth.

Enter YoLearn.ai — The Post-EdTech Movement.

Founded by Kirti, an IIT-BHU alumnus with over 15 years of experience in EdTech and startups, YoLearn.ai isn’t here to patch up the system.

It’s here to replace it the vision : To build 1 billion emotionally resonant, cognitive AI tutors   not just to teach, but to understand, support, and grow with every learner.

This is the dawn of Post-EdTech ,where the core of education isn’t human teachers alone, but AI companions that evolve with the learner.

About the Founder: From Rebel to Revolution

Kirti Prakash Mishra has worked inside the very systems he now seeks to dismantle.

He saw first-hand how:

>Teachers were overworked and under-supported.
>Students became data points, not individuals.
>AI was being used to track behavior, not transform potential.
Rather than reform, he chose to rebuild from scratch.Today, Kirti is creating a future where AI isn’t a tool for education it’s the foundation of it.

What YoLearn Is Actually Building

Yolearn.ai is not just another learning app. It’s a complete AI Operating System for Learning. At its heart are multimodal, emotionally intelligent AI companions for students and teachers alike.These aren’t static chatbots or glorified quizzes.

They are:

Tutors that teach the way students learn best.
Coaches that build mental resilience and habits.
Buddies that motivate like a trusted friend.
All powered by real-time cognition, immersive experiences, and deep personalization.

The Big Bets YoLearn Is Making

YoLearn isn’t just rethinking learning — it’s reprogramming it.

Here’s what sets it apart:

> No more fixed curriculum – Learning becomes dynamic, exploratory, and learner-first.
 >Human-like AI – Companionship, not content delivery.
>Flow-state learning – Emotion, timing, and intent aligned for deep cognition.
>Teacher tools to scale genius – Teachers can build AI co-teachers that mimic their voice, subject mastery, and teaching style — and deploy them to thousands.

Yes, this is real. Prototypes are already live.

What the Future Looks Like

By 2030, YoLearn aims to:

>Reach 1 billion learners worldwide
>Enable emotionally intelligent AI tutoring in over 50 languages
>Power schools, NGOs, creators, and parents with AI education agents
>Create a generation that never feels alone while learning
“If ChatGPT was the calculator moment for text, YoLearn is the AI Companion era — built to feel, understand, and elevate.”

This isn’t just another startup. It’s a renaissance engine for learning.

Final Word: Replace the System, Not Just the Teacher.

Kirti’s mission isn’t to automate teachers. It’s to liberate learning.

“Our job isn’t to replace teachers. It’s to replace the system that never respected them — or the learner.”
“By designing AI that listens, adapts, and nurtures — we’re building a system that unlocks the genius in everyone.”

If Tesla redefined cars, YoLearn.ai is here to redefine cognition.

And if the old system won’t evolve? This founder is building a new one from scratch.

In a regulatory filing dated May 24, Paytm confirmed that the apex court issued the interim order on May 23 in response to a petition filed by First Games. The petition challenged the GST demand raised by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) for the period spanning January 2018 to March 2023.

The Supreme Court, in its directive, stated:
“Further proceedings of all the impugned show cause notices shall remain stayed till the final disposal of the main matter along with all the matters which are tagged.”

This stay provides First Games with temporary legal relief and additional time to present its defense, effectively pausing any immediate enforcement action or penalties related to the SCN.

The development marks a significant moment in Paytm’s ongoing regulatory challenges and offers breathing room as the case proceeds through the judicial process.

Earlier, Paytm said the notice is part of an ongoing issue in the online gaming industry. The disagreement is about GST being charged at 28% on the full entry amount, while gaming companies believe it should be 18% only on their actual earnings from platform fees.

The SCN is part of a broader industry-wide probe by the GST department, which has issued similar notices to several gaming companies. The matter is being closely monitored by stakeholders across the online gaming sector.

Paytm’s operating revenue fell by 16% year-on-year to Rs 1,911 crore in the fourth quarter of FY25, down from 2,267 crore in the same quarter of FY24. However, the Noida-based company narrowed its losses to 23 crore in Q4 FY25, a 96% reduction from 536 crore in Q4 FY24.

The company’s core mission is to eliminate inefficiencies in the supply chain, simplify procurement, and empower retailers and wholesalers across India with improved access to products and pricing.

What is TryKaro.in?

TryKaro.in is a digital B2B sourcing platform that allows shop owners, retailers, and wholesalers to purchase products directly from top manufacturers and verified sellers. By removing traditional intermediaries such as CNFs, distributors, and wholesalers, the platform provides better margins and a more efficient supply chain experience.

Key features include:

• Factory-direct pricing
• One-hour delivery in select service areas
• 24×7 customer support
• Access to over 200 brands in FMCG, homeware, and household categories
• Weekly visits by dedicated sales executives
• Full refunds in case of missing or damaged products

TryKaro.in is more than a marketplace it is a comprehensive support system built specifically for MSMEs.

How TryKaro.in Works

For Sellers
Sellers can easily register through their mobile phones, upload product information, and set prices. After quality and pricing verification, products are listed on the platform and made available to buyers.

For MSME Buyers
Retailers can browse and place orders via the website or mobile app. Orders are fulfilled with same-day delivery through TryKaro.in’s own logistics network. A dedicated sales representative visits each buyer weekly to ensure ongoing support. Instant refunds are processed in case of delivery issues. For bulk purchases, Full Truck Load (FTL) options are available.

Some customers are transacting goods worth ₹40–45 lakhs monthly, with individual FTL orders valued at ₹12–13 lakhs per truck.

What Sets TryKaro.in Apart

TryKaro.in is solving the problems faced by MSMEs in traditional B2B supply chains—namely inconsistent pricing, unreliable service, and lack of transparency. Key differentiators include:

• Direct-to-retailer model with zero hidden commissions
• Verified and trusted sellers
• High-margin, fast-moving products to drive profitability
• Local warehouse and logistics capabilities
• Upcoming credit support via NBFC partners
• Brand advertising and product promotions for visibility and growth

Supporting the Backbone of India’s Economy

MSMEs represent the foundation of India’s economic structure but are often underserved when it comes to access, affordability, and logistics. TryKaro.in bridges this gap by helping small businesses:

• Save on procurement costs
• Improve inventory turnover
• Compete effectively with larger retail chains
• Serve customers faster and better

Even businesses in smaller towns and rural areas can operate efficiently through this streamlined platform.

Leadership with Purpose

Aditya Arora, the Founder and CEO of TryKaro.in, built the platform after firsthand exposure to the struggles of small businesses sourcing affordable, high-quality products. His leadership has steered the company toward becoming one of India’s most innovative and impactful B2B solutions for MSMEs.

Under his direction, TryKaro.in is on a mission to ensure that every small business in India has equal access to the best products, transparent pricing, reliable service, and technology-driven logistics—without the inefficiencies of the traditional supply chain.

Headquartered in New Delhi, Shiprocket is reportedly targeting to raise between ₹2,000 crore and ₹2,400 crore through its IPO. This fundraising round is expected to include a primary issue of ₹1,000–1,200 crore, with the remaining capital raised through an offer for sale (OFS).

For this public offering, Shiprocket has appointed prominent investment banks, including Axis Capital, Kotak Mahindra, JM Financial, and BofA Securities, to manage the process. Earlier this year, the Temasek-backed company transitioned into a public limited company, marking a significant milestone on its path to going public.

Founded by Saahil Goel, Gautam Kapoor, and Vishesh Khurana, Shiprocket offers a comprehensive logistics and supply chain platform designed to simplify shipping for businesses. The company integrates with multiple courier partners, provides real-time tracking, and automates shipping solutions, thereby streamlining order fulfillment for its users.

Since inception, Shiprocket has raised over $320 million and currently holds a valuation of approximately $1.21 billion. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Bertelsmann Nederland B.V. is the largest external shareholder, followed by Tribe. Other notable investors include Zomato, Temasek, LightRock, and PayPal.

In the fiscal year ending March 2024, Shiprocket reported a revenue of ₹1,316 crore, reflecting a 21% year-on-year growth. Despite this progress, the company posted losses amounting to ₹595 crore during the same period.

In the competitive logistics tech space, Shiprocket faces rivals such as Unicommerce, which recently expanded through the acquisition of Shipway, as well as other players like Shipyar. The company’s IPO will be closely watched as a barometer for investor sentiment in India’s burgeoning logistics and supply chain sector.
