Bharti Airtel will be shutting down its streaming music service - Wynk Music - ten years after launch, and absorb all its employees in the Airtel ecosystem. Streaming service Wynk Music was launched in 2014 and allows users to download music for offline listening, set caller tunes, listen to podcasts, and stream music in multiple regional languages, among other features. Reports say that Airtel decided to shut down Wynk's service because it did not make commercial sense to continue running it without a clear monetisation plan. The company has entered into an agreement with Apple to provide access to Apple Music with special offers to its customers who use iPhone. Earlier in the day, Airtel said it announced that Apple TV+ -- the video content platform from Apple -- will be accessible through its video streaming platform Xstream and Apple Music for Wynk Music premium users later this year. Now, Airtel will provide special offers on Apple Music to its customers who use iPhone. Airtel's business-to-customer portfolio comprising Airtel Wynk, Airtel Thanks, and Xtream has over 220 million active users. #Airtel #WynkMusic #Business #YourStoryNews

Gatoes, founded by Jibran Gulzar in February 2020, began with the most basic one — how to build a food delivery platform on a 2G network? The app was launched in August 2020 with only two delivery workers. In May 2021, Gatoes became the first startup from Jammu and Kashmir to reach $1 million in gross merchandise value. All this, while being bootstrapped and supported only by friends and family. Fundraising in a conflict-ridden region is a big challenge, said Gulzar. Besides his initial investment, Gatoes has been funded by an angel investor, whose identity the company did not wish to disclose. Gatoes is primarily an app-based food delivery platform. It has tied up with over 2,000 local restaurants in seven districts in the state. It is delivering about 1,000 orders per day and the average order value stands at Rs 450, which is "higher than you see in Delhi", Jibran says. Gatoes claims that its prices for customers and the commissions it charges restaurants are lower than other foodtech apps. Jibran sums up the opportunity by saying, “We have many disadvantages to look at. But we’re ready. As the youth of Kashmir, we have a huge responsibility towards our people. And we are trying to change the trend.” Read more at 👇 https://lnkd.in/gy3CMe3f #Startups #Entrepreneurs #FoodDelivery #Foodtech #Grocery
