The initiative has been termed as the “Electric Bike Taxi” project and has been included in Karnataka’s budget for the financial year 2020-21, beginning in April 2020.

As per the ET report, the details of the electric bike taxi project have not been disclosed yet.

Even though the central government had approved bike taxis, the Karnataka state government did not roll out any such rules.

While some players have dubbed the electric bike taxis project as a revolutionary proposal by the Karnataka government, others have been skeptical about it given the lack of electric two-wheelers on the roads.

He added that the electric bike taxi project would only work out if the companies in the shared mobility space are ready to add electric scooters to their fleet. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1583479806.1703157/Karnataka-Likely-To-Launch-Electric-Bike-Taxis-Project?ref=audio_experience

The SBI board has given the largest lender an "in-principle" approval to invest in the capital-starved YES Bank.

The announcement came hours after YES Bank was placed under a moratorium, with the RBI capping deposit withdrawals at Rs 50,000 per account for a month and superseding its board.

"The matter in regard to YES Bank was discussed at the meeting of the central board of bank on Thursday and an in-principle approval has been given by the board to explore investment opportunity in the bank," the SBI board informed the bourses late in the evening.

According to reports, the government has asked SBI and life insurance behemoth LIC to collectively pick up a 49 percent stake in YES Bank.

Pure software companies are less exposed to supply chain disruptions, but remain at risk due to cascading economic effects.

Many companies have banned all “non-essential” travel and some have banned all international travel.

While travel companies are directly impacted, all companies that depend on in-person meetings to conduct sales, business development, or partnership discussions are being affected.

Until you have charted a course to financial independence, examine whether your capital spending plans are sensible in a more uncertain environment.

Sequoia Capital also acknowledged that many of its companies have already reported growth rates dropping sharply between December and February. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1583469004.8948152/Sequoia-Capital-warns-startups-of-Coronavirus-‘Black-Swan’-event?ref=audio_experience

Bengaluru: The Karnataka government on Thursday proposed using electric two-wheelers as taxis on Bengaluru roads, potentially leapfrogging regulations around using petrol-powered bikes as taxis in the state.In the budget, the state proposed implementing an electric bike taxi project to improve last mile connectivity of public transportation , without divulging details.

Others said the proposal would be hard to pull off in the near term, given a lack of electric two-wheelers on the roads today.Uber and Ola, which currently offer bike taxi services in some cities, declined to comment for the story.

Rapido, the largest bike taxi service in the country, could not be reached for comment.“The biggest reason bike taxis worked was that a person who had a scooter or motorbike could now make money ferrying people,” said Vivekananda Hallekere, CEO of Bounce , a two-wheeler rentals startup.

“We tried leasing cars to drivers in the past, but the economics of the business did not work.

It would be similar with electric bikes,” the person added. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1583467407.884601/Karnataka-to-open-roads-for-electric-two-wheeler-taxis?ref=audio_experience

TikTok also assured the Bombay HC that the IT Act has laid down a procedure to filter out any objectionable content online.

The Bombay HC will be meeting again three weeks later to discuss the matter further.

Looking at the fatalities such a challenge could lead to, the Indian government passed an advisory for social media platforms ranging from YouTube to Twitter.

For instance, in January 2020, an 18-year-old boy ended up shooting himself accidentally while posing with a gun for a TikTok video.

July 2019: A 17-year-old was shot with a country-made pistol while recording a TikTok Video with his relatives in Maharashtra. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1583465405.5025983/TikTok-Asks-Bombay-HC-To-Dismiss-Pleas-Seeking-Ban?ref=audio_experience
