Indian Startup News on Instagram: “PhonePe co-founder and CEO Sameer Nigam defended the new MDR framework for select UPI merchant transactions above Rs 2,000 in an interview with India Today’s Rajdeep Sardesai. Asked about criticism from former BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover. “I won’t comment simply because I don’t, I don’t take him seriously”, Nigam said. Nigam argued that the payments industry should not depend on taxpayer-funded government subsidies, saying banks and fintech companies spend around Rs 10,000-12,000 crore annually at current UPI volumes. He said government subsidies of around Rs 2,000 crore have not been enough to cover industry costs, adding that payment companies need a sustainable revenue model rather than continued dependence on subsidies. #phonepe #bharatpe #ashneergrover #UPI #payments #digital #indianstartupnews”

EV Startups

Indian Startup News on Instagram: “EV owners often worry about one thing, “battery life”. When the battery fails, it’s not only expensive but hard to know why it happened. A young Indian startup called EV Doctor wants to change that. In an exclusive interaction with IndianStartupNews, Its founder Ajay Vashisht demonstrated a device that is no bigger than your palm. You connect it to your EV battery, turn it on with a small red button, pair it with an Android app, and within fifteen minutes it tells you how healthy your battery is. The device uses simple steps: first the battery, then the device, and finally the charger. While the test runs, it measures voltage, current, and resistance, then sends the data to the cloud. There, advanced software analyses how the battery behaves under load and calculates its state of health, safety, and performance. For workshops, fleet owners, or anyone curious about their EV’s battery, this small gadget could save hours of testing. The startup said its “flash test” gives quick results, while a “full mode test” offers deeper insight. #startup #battery #EV #innovation #madeinindia #indianstartupnews”
