Uber is under increasing pressure in the South East Asian markets as Softbank pushes to consolidate its large holdings, while erstwhile Uber CEO Travis Kalanick made his first investment from his first fund 10100.

I think these are interesting times for the global as well as the Indian startup ecosystem, with Walmart expressing interest in Flipkart a much needed liquidity event in the Indian ecosystem.
