Flipkart and PhonePe now established as separate entities
Flipkart and PhonePe announced full ownership separation of PhonePe, earlier this week. The digital payments platform was acquired by Flipkart in 2016. Establishing these two companies as separate entities will create new opportunities for investors to help unlock and maximize enterprise value. As a part of this transaction, existing Flipkart Singapore and PhonePe Singapore shareholders have purchased shares directly in PhonePe India. This also makes PhonePe a fully India-domiciled company.

TikTok takes several measures to settle a security deal with the US government
In order to settle the TikTok-US government feud, the short-video platform has taken several measures aimed at appeasing the US government. The company has offered to partner with Oracle to store the users’ data, and review server codes and the look and feel of the app. This is to ensure the data remains secure in the US territory and the content is compliant with the US security policies. TikTok has also proposed to form a “proxy” board at the United States Data Security (USDS) division to oversee data protection and content moderation decisions.
