China based startup, SenseTime Group Ltd., becomes the most valuable artificial intelligence startup in the world by raising a cool $ 600 million from Alibaba and other investors. Post this round of funding, the valuation of the startup stood at more than $ 3 billion, making it the wealthiest artificial intelligence startup in the world!

The company, which specializes in systems that analyze faces and images on an enormous scale, closed a Series C round funding in the past months. This round of funding included Singaporean state investment firm, Temasek Holdings Pte and retailer Suning.com Co. While SenseTime didn’t outline the individual investments, reports state Alibaba has sought the biggest stake in the three year old startup.

Backed by Qualcomm Inc., SenseTime has more than doubled its valuation in the last few months with this round of investment. While the company aims at becoming a leading force in the artificial world by 2030, this latest round of funding will help in diversifying interests in parallel fields. SenseTime plans on using this new round of funding to work in areas like autonomous driving, augmented reality, cover the growing cost of AI talent and increase its computing power.

At the moment, SenseTime is working on a brand new servicing code called Viper. Through Viper, this startup plans on sourcing feed from thousands of live cameras, a platform which will prove invaluable in relation to mass surveillance. With this investment from Alibaba, SenseTime is looking at upping its infrastructure as well. This China based startup has, to date, partnered with more than 400 leading domestic and overseas enterprises across security, fintech, automobile, retail, smartphone, mobile Internet and robotics. By broadening the possibilities of data technology and its application across industries, the Company has the potential to provide a technological leap for a range of verticals and serve as their close partner in AI transformation.

SC Grants Relief to Paytm’s First Games, Stays Massive GST Notice

Published

StartupStories

The Supreme Court of India has granted interim relief to Paytm’s gaming arm, First Games, by staying proceedings on a ₹5,712 crore GST notice issued by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI). The notice, sent in April 2025, demanded GST for the period January 2018 to March 2023, based on the department’s view that 28% GST should be levied on the total entry amount, rather than the 18% GST currently paid on platform fees.

First Games challenged the notice in the Supreme Court, which on May 23, 2025, ordered a stay on all further proceedings until a final decision is reached. The dispute is part of a broader industry-wide debate over the correct GST treatment for real money gaming platforms, with similar cases pending before the court. Following the stay, Paytm shares rose nearly 2% in early trading, reflecting investor optimism.

The Supreme Court’s order provides temporary relief to First Games and signals ongoing judicial scrutiny of GST demands across India’s online gaming sector.
