In today’s JOMO: We learn that Intel is helping teachers get ‘insights’ on students, e-comm is back down to pre-pandemic levels and that Sequoia will respond, someday

🗞In the news

BharatePe, Trell, Zilingo investor Sequoia Capital says will respond strongly to wilful misconduct, fraud - ET

Rather an ‘elite’ set of startups this. Shouldn’t Sequoia be responding with their term sheets and cheques? Or maybe that time has already passed? There is a pattern to this and pretty Sequoia isnt the only one. There will more skeletons coming out as and when (and if) the money starts drying out. Stay tuned

Ecommerce logistics firms Delhivery, Ecom Express, Xpressbees give aggregators a price shock - ET

Delhivery, Ecom Express and Xpressbees have simultaneously increased shipment charges by as much as 35-40% for orders received via online logistics aggregators such as Shiprocket, Pickrr, Shipyaari

Everything is no more expensive. Even ‘free’ delivery 😒

🤑🚀Startups, funding etc

Swiggy, Zomato back restaurant management startup UrbanPiper in a $24 million funding round - ET

🤩New products, features, launches

🤔Interesting read

“We can give the teacher additional insights to allow them to better communicate,” said Michael Chasen, co-founder and CEO of Classroom Technologies, who said teachers have had trouble engaging with students in virtual classroom environments throughout the pandemic.

Errr… somehow this has the ‘We dont need no education’ feels. Also, teacher, leave those kids alone cos all in all it’s just another brick in the wall (from the Pink Floyd epic)

The Pandemic Was Supposed to Push All Shopping Online. It Didn’t. - WSJ

E-commerce retailers that rode a surge of online purchases in 2020 are now grappling with the fact that some customers have returned to stores

Tokens From Manchester City to PSG Prove Disappointing - Bloomberg

Analysts caution that demand for fan tokens quickly goes from euphoria to indifference. The main criticism they make is that these have few tangible benefits for the fans.

At the start of the season, fan tokens were all the rage. No longer. And City have had a great season. PSG… less said the better


📊Poll for the day

Just curious, what should they do?
