Summary

In today’s Tech3 from Moneycontrol, Meta’s decision to put Kunal Shah at the helm of WhatsApp highlights just how important India has become to the messaging giant’s future. We also look at why Amazon and Flipkart are taking their quick commerce battle beyond metros and into smaller cities, SEBI’s proposal to classify influencers with over five lakh followers as celebrities, and the latest leadership shake-up at Swiggy Instamart as competition in quick commerce intensifies.
