Jeffrey Immelt, the former CEO of the American conglomerate General Electric (GE,) has emerged as the front runner to become the CEO of global taxi hailing startup Uber. Recode reported, according to numerous sources with knowledge of the situation, Jeff Immelt may be the next CEO of the company.

According to media reports, Uber’s board is expected to make a decision and vote for a new CEO within the next two weeks. Although a majority of the board is leaning towards Immelt, there still are two other candidates in the running. Uber has been looking for a new chief executive officer to lead the company since the former CEO and cofounder Travis Kalanick was asked to resign in June.

Uber has had numerous holes in its executive team after losing multiple executives this year including their chief financial officer and chief operating officer. The company has also had to face a storm of allegations and the former CEO is also currently facing a lawsuit from early investor Benchmark Capital for fraud. Therefore, according to Record, the board is coming together and hoping the experienced Immelt can settle things down for the company.

Speaking about Immelt, one source told Recode, “He certainly is not someone anyone can push around easily, which is probably his best characteristic. We all know Immelt’s not the dynamic entrepreneur that Travis is, but he can certainly settle things down.” The source also added the board knows it is never going to be a perfect choice but they need someone with skills to move the company along.

Arianna Huffington is one of Immelt’s earliest and strongest supporters and he is also backed by several other directors. But a few directors remain undecided including venture capitalist firm Benchmark. Media reports suggest that neither of the other two candidates is a woman despite many insiders and outsiders urging the company to appoint a woman to its top role. The board is said to be looking for someone who can quickly deal with a number of pressing and problematic issues including the recruitment of numerous top executives, the worsening morale among employees, leadership problems and other regulatory messes that cropped up during Kalanick’s tenure.

Jeffery Immelt retired as the CEO of GE in June this year and was replaced by John Flannery. Investors and employees criticized his tenure at GE because the stock was trading at a lower level when he stepped down than it was when he took over in 2001.

It was also reported Kalanick was trying to ‘Steve Jobs it’ back into his Uber CEO spot but fellow board member and co founder Garrett Camp, squashed all rumours saying Kalanick would not be returning to Uber to fill his prior role.

Blissclub Raises INR 33 Crore in Fresh Funding Months After Layoffs

Bliss_StartupStories

Blissclub, the women-centric D2C apparel brand, has raised INR 33 crore in a Pre-Series B funding round led by Elevation Capital, with Eight Roads Ventures also participating. This funding comes just three months after the company laid off 18% of its workforce-about 21 employees from creative, sales, marketing, growth, and product teams-due to high cash burn and challenges in securing new capital.

The latest investment was made through the allotment of 16,076 compulsory convertible preference shares (CCPS) at a premium of INR 20,428 each. Elevation Capital invested INR 19 crore, securing a 24.5% stake, while Eight Roads Ventures contributed INR 14 crore, raising its stake to 15.79%. The capital will be used for working capital, capital expenditure, and general corporate purposes.

Founded in 2020 by Minu Margeret, Blissclub started as an online activewear brand for women and has since diversified its product range and established offline stores. Despite recent restructuring, the company’s revenue grew 27% to INR 86.9 crore in FY24 from INR 68.3 crore in FY23, though net losses also increased to INR 43.9 crore.

Blissclub’s successful fundraising, despite recent layoffs, underscores both the ongoing challenges and the resilience of India’s D2C startup sector in a difficult funding environment.

Apple to Shift Entire US iPhone Assembly to India by 2026

Apple - StartupStories

Apple is set to relocate all assembly of iPhones destined for the US market from China to India by the end of 2026, marking its biggest manufacturing shift in decades. The move is driven by escalating US-China trade tensions and steep tariffs—up to 145% on Chinese imports—making Chinese assembly increasingly costly for Apple. Although some smartphone imports are temporarily exempt, a 20% duty still applies to Chinese-made iPhones entering the US.

 

India, in contrast, offers a more favorable trade environment, with a paused 26% reciprocal tariff and ongoing negotiations for a bilateral trade deal with the US that could shield Indian exports from future levies. Apple plans to more than double its current iPhone output in India, aiming to assemble over 60 million units annually for the US market. The company already produces about 25% of its global iPhones in India, working with partners like Foxconn, Tata Electronics, and Pegatron.

 

This shift is part of Apple’s broader strategy to diversify its supply chain and reduce reliance on China amid geopolitical risks. However, the transition’s success will depend on how quickly India can scale up its manufacturing capabilities and the outcome of ongoing trade negotiations.

PhonePe’s PINCODE Launches 10-Minute Medicine Delivery in Cities

PhonePe

PhonePe’s PINCODE app has launched a 24×7 online medicine delivery service in Bangalore, Mumbai, and Pune, promising delivery of both prescription and over-the-counter medicines within 10 minutes from nearby local medical shops. Unlike conventional e-pharmacies that use dark stores, PINCODE partners exclusively with neighborhood pharmacies, enabling faster deliveries and supporting local businesses in the digital economy.

Customers without prescriptions can select a “no prescription” option when ordering; a qualified doctor then provides a free teleconsultation and issues a digital prescription compliant with telemedicine guidelines, ensuring seamless access to medicines. The app offers competitive pricing by passing discounts from local pharmacies directly to customers and charges no delivery fees.

PINCODE’s hyperlocal model enhances healthcare accessibility and convenience while empowering local pharmacies, helping them remain integral to their communities and stimulating local economic growth. Launched in 2023, the app focuses on quick commerce with an emphasis on speed, reliability, and supporting local sellers.

In summary, PhonePe’s PINCODE app is transforming medicine delivery in major Indian cities by combining ultra-fast 10-minute delivery, free doctor consultations, and a hyperlocal sourcing model that benefits both consumers and neighborhood pharmacies.
