The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Softbank President Nikesh Arora is stepping down from his post. A few hours ago, he had been given a clean chit in a probe into alleged foul play in the firm’s investments in Indian start-ups Oyo Rooms and Housing.com.
While the recent reports of mass layoffs, funding winters, down rounds and campus hires deferrals may have put a cast of shadow on the employability of startups, Linkedin’s data on top Indian companies best at attracting and retaining top talent does away with any doubts that top Indian startups still remain the employers of choice for India’s top talent.
As Flipkart’s top leadership has left the company, the products that they’d developed seem to have gone with them. Flipkart has decided that it will be retiring Ping, its social chat feature, and its image search function, two products that it had launched amidst much fanfare last year.
