## Resource

In today’s Tech3 from Moneycontrol, our scoop confirmed: Meta is investing around $900 million Cred and Cred’s founder, Kunal Shah, will take over as global CEO of WhatsApp. We also unpack Sebi’s new GARUDA framework that promises faster launches for venture capital funds and angel investors. They also discuss the five contenders shortlisted for the government’s AI-powered tender drafting platform, why Big Tech hiring in India is becoming more selective despite continued growth, and Moneycontrol’s report on Nandan Nilekani-backed Fundamentum Partnership preparing a new fund with a target corpus of Rs 1,800 crore to Rs 2,500 crore as investor appetite for growth-stage startups shows signs of returning.
