6/ Starlink doesn’t need to win the price battle in urban India. Fibre broadband is already dirt cheap here. But laying cables to remote Himalayan villages or isolated islands is wildly expensive 🏔️ That is where satellites make sense.

6/ So is Bumble now just Tinder? On messaging, yes, since Tinder lets either person go first. But Tinder is itself in a turnaround, with payers down 5% to 8.5 million in Q2.

7/ The rule change didn’t cause Bumble’s slide, since the numbers fell first, and it is unlikely to fix it alone.

8/ The Reserve Bank constantly worries about expensive oil imports eating into our national budget. At the exact same time, export businesses, technology giants, and families receiving overseas salaries quietly enjoy the undeniable financial perks of a weaker currency.
