Technology giant Google announced the launch of another India focused product, making it easier for users to search for jobs in India. In a blog post, the company announced their latest job search feature for India under the Google Jobs feature.

In the blog post, the company added, “Now we’re bringing job search to India. With this new experience, we aim to connect Indians to numerous opportunities across the country. No matter who you are or what kind of job you’re looking for, it will now be easier to find job postings that match your needs and skills.” Under this feature, users will be able to see in depth results of relevant job opportunities from across the web when users search for “jobs near me,” “jobs for freshers,” or similar job seeking queries.

Google also partnered with a number of organizations from across the industry including IBM Talent Management Solutions, LinkedIn, QuikrJobs and TimesJobs among others for this purpose. The tech giant aims to add a new functionality to the search engine to show a comprehensive listing of jobs on the results page.

With a roster of over a million listings, from some 90,000 employers nationwide, the company claims its tool can help job seekers at every level, from recent college grads to experienced managers. Users can click on the listings to bring up more information about the company and the job role, as well as links to apply for the said role on various platforms.

The search results can also be narrowed down to fewer and more relevant listings by adding filters such as preferred title, location and contract type. “We’ll continue to add relevant filters, and surface more pertinent job related information in the future. This new jobs search experience will be available in English on the Search app on Android and iOS, in Google search on the desktop and mobile,” the company further added.

Both the desktop and the Android versions of the search engine have been integrated with the new tool along with an open source framework called Open Documentation. All third party job search platforms and direct employers, big or small can make their job openings discoverable through the Open Documentation framework. At present, the Indian online job market is showing healthy growth with 63% of people slated to access online job postings and more than 50% of job related queries originating from mobile users.

Amazon-Health

Amazon India has expanded its healthcare portfolio with the launch of Amazon Diagnostics, an at-home diagnostic testing service developed in partnership with Orange Health Labs. Now available in six major cities—Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Mumbai, and Hyderabad—the service covers over 450 PIN codes and offers access to more than 800 diagnostic tests. Customers can book tests via the Amazon app, schedule home sample collection within 60 minutes, and receive digital reports for routine tests in as little as six hours, making healthcare more accessible and convenient than ever before.

This launch completes Amazon’s integrated healthcare suite in India, which already includes Amazon Pharmacy for medicines and Amazon Clinic for virtual doctor consultations. By bringing these services together under the Amazon Medical umbrella, the company enables a seamless outpatient journey—from doctor consultation to lab testing and medicine delivery—all managed through a single digital platform. The partnership with Orange Health Labs ensures high-quality, reliable diagnostics, supported by Amazon’s operational expertise and focus on customer trust.

Amazon’s entry into the $15 billion Indian diagnostics market signals a major shift in the country’s health-tech landscape, introducing new competition for established diagnostic players.

Kruti

Bengaluru, June 2025 – Krutrim, the AI startup founded by Ola’s Bhavish Aggarwal, has launched its new agentic AI assistant, Kruti. Unlike traditional virtual assistants, Kruti is designed with an Indian-first approach — combining cultural context, multilingual capabilities, and generative AI to offer a more intuitive, task-oriented experience for users.

Powered by Krutrim’s proprietary Indian-trained language model, it brings a deep understanding of local languages and digital behaviors, catering to both personal and business needs in the Indian ecosystem.

Aggarwal described Kruti as “India’s digital brain,” highlighting its role in redefining AI for Bharat. The assistant will be rolled out in phases, starting with enterprise partners and expanding through apps and APIs.

Bankruptcy Forces BYJU’S to Offload Epic and Tynker for a Fraction of Acquisition Cost

Published

BYJU’S StartupStories

BYJU’S, once India’s most celebrated edtech startup, has sold its major US-based subsidiaries Epic and Tynker for a fraction of their original purchase prices, marking a dramatic reversal in its global expansion strategy. The distressed sales, approved by a US bankruptcy court on May 20, 2025, come amid the company’s ongoing financial and legal turmoil. Tynker, a coding education platform acquired by BYJU’S in 2021 for $200 million, was sold to CodeHS for just $2.2 million in cash, while Epic, a digital reading platform bought for $500 million in 2022, was acquired by China’s TAL Education Group for $95 million.

These fire-sale transactions were part of a broader restructuring effort to address disputes with lenders after BYJU’S defaulted on a $1.2 billion loan, which triggered bankruptcy proceedings for its US entities. The company’s US unit, Byju’s Alpha, became the focal point of legal battles, including allegations of mismanagement and the misappropriation of funds by top executives. Court rulings in the US have highlighted instances of fraudulent transfers and breaches of fiduciary duty by suspended directors, further compounding BYJU’S woes.

As BYJU’S scrambles to stabilize its core operations, several of its other high-profile acquisitions, such as Great Learning and Aakash Institute, have started operating independently and distancing themselves from the parent company. The massive losses from the sales of Epic and Tynker underscore the risks of BYJU’S aggressive acquisition spree and the severe impact of its financial mismanagement, leaving the future of the once high-flying edtech giant in question.
