NEW DELHI | BENGALURU: On-demand task management app Dunzo is in advanced discussions to raise $25 million (about Rs 183 crore) from investors including Google, according to two people briefed on the matter. The funding round, which is likely to be part of an extended capital-raising initiative, is expected to value the three-year-old startup at about $100 million, three times the valuation Dunzo garnered when it previously raised capital in December.

We would love to keep the conversation around our product, the service we provide to users, partners and merchants, … [Read more...] about Dunzo is in talks to raise Rs 183 crore from Google, others

Naveen Tewari, Founder, InMobi "Things that have not made it to the to-do list in a long time are added and implemented. For me, health has become top priority.

CALIFORNIA: Google Search will now recommend TV shows and movies to watch as it aims to make its search tool more customised for its users. In its official blog, Google notes that starting today in the US, when users search for things like "good shows to watch" or "what to watch" on the mobile app, they can tap on the "Top picks for you" carousel to begin rating shows or movies.

SAN FRANCISCO: Google has announced that starting July 1, all new websites would be analysed and ranked on Search on the basis of 'mobile-first indexing'. 'Mobile-first indexing' means Google would consider the mobile version of any new website for evaluating, indexing and ranking the site, instead of the desktop version which was used primarily. "We're happy to announce that 'mobile-first indexing' will be enabled by default for all new, previously unknown to Google Search websites, starting July 1, 2019," John Mueller, Developer Advocate, Google, wrote in a blog-post on Tuesday. For older and existing websites, Google would determine their readiness for "mobile-first indexing" based on the parity of content including text, images, videos, links and structured data as well as other meta-data-like titles and descriptions.
