Summary
In this episode of Tech 3 by Moneycontrol, we break down how Amazon is accelerating its quick commerce push with Amazon Now as rivals like Blinkit and Zepto race ahead. We also dive into River EV’s expanded $100 million funding plans, shifting investor lineup, and what it means for India’s competitive EV two-wheeler market. And finally, a major shake-up in IT services — Cognizant could cut up to 15,000 jobs as AI and automation reshape hiring, signalling a deeper structural shift across the sector. Plus, a quick note on how Groww and PhonePe are gaining ground in the SIP market.
