Skydo is on CNBC's World's Top Fintech Companies 2026 list.

One of eight Indian companies on the list, alongside PhonePe, Razorpay, and Paytm.

We have a relatively small and young team, humble ad budgets, and no mass-market app. Just a product that gets Indian businesses their money faster, with efficient pricing they can see and understand.

So this recognition belongs to every exporter who trusted a young company with their payments. Thank you for putting us on the map!

We'll keep doing what we do 🫡

The good news is that Dev Kotak is okay now, back at work and back on his duties. I spoke with Dev after tracking down his alternate number (his phone- and therefore his main number- was stolen).

The cowardly mob's attack on Dev Kotak is absolutely deplorable and highly condemnable.

I've known Dev Kotak for a long time; he's been my ex-colleague and is a very sincere, genuine, gentle and nice human being. Dev has been covering CJP for a long time now.

He was there to interview Saurav Das, but before he could reach to Das, he was questioned by the mob and subsequently attacked. The crowd threw bottles and water at him, before they rained blows on him.

Dear CJP, if you mobilise this level of a movement, you need to control the crowd. There may be a lot of anger against the media, but attacking journalists like this, which could have taken a serious turn, is not going to get you any brownie points; you will only lose credibility. I am a journalist myself and know the conditions under which a majority of us work. We are only doing our job. If you want your movement to be non-violent, then practice what you preach. After a certain point, the crowd will get beyond your control, and it may or may not attract lampoon elements. But it is still your responsibility. That’s the time you should step up and communicate. Just pick up a mike. Do not direct your anger towards journalists who are just doing their job.

FT: Bain is testing takeover targets by using vibecoding to rebuild rough AI-made copies of their software.

These replicas are not perfect clones, but they can expose whether a product’s interface, analytics, automation, or workflow logic is easier to reproduce than sellers claim.

The replicas help potential buyers assess how difficult it would be to recreate a software product and whether the company has a defensible competitive advantage.

Say a company is selling an analytics tool that takes sales data, cleans it, finds patterns, creates dashboards, and recommends what a sales manager should do next.

Bain may ask AI coding tools to quickly build a basic version that uploads sales data, generates similar dashboards, adds simple recommendations, and feels somewhat like the target product.

Bain says its teams have built hundreds of prototypes, and the tool has moved from specialist engineers to regular consultants doing AI diligence.

For investors, the Bain method is built to reveal where a software company’s value actually sits, from its code and workflows to customer relationships, data, distribution, or other business layers.

Using AI-made prototypes also lets buyers see how a product could develop in the years ahead as AI continues changing enterprise tech.

This strategy comes at a time when generative AI is making software development cheaper and challenging the strength of SAAS business models.
