Apparently, Navneet is a very ardent follower of Crime Patrol programme on TV. If people can raise fingers at Zakir Naik, and ban him and his teachings, and probe into his involvement in terrorism, then in this case, the channel and producers of Crime Patrol should also be charged with the same. I wonder where Arnab Goswami is hiding now!

What is the use of huge wealth, poor man killed by own people what did people involved achieved. We always talk of development education. What is meaning of education and development ? That old golden days we are far better than now where we did not had cc tv camera no proper road no public transport no powerful education institute but WE WERE SAFE ON THOSE GOLDEN OLD DAYS.

Hang all three ..shameless and merciless people

Tell the world that Naveen is impressed by Zakir Naik Lecture.

Where is the priest....arrest him for terrorizing that family..see which temple he went ..close it down..or ban his school....ha ha.....as you do with muslims

Very bad people, how can we trust this world...poor guy...

These people are family friends... We're all good people... I used to play with that boy as a kid.. I smell something fishy ..

Mage mallaye, Ammeg kullaye

He should have saved his life by staying in Saudi Arabia. India is not safe, people even get killed for having food, for honor, for rupees 15, for nothing, for rights etc.

Father rest in peace...
Someone make mother + Son piece piece...
Bastards.

need to give proper treatment to son and the mother , put inside the jail forever or hang them in public ...

from this incident all need to learn the lesson that even with wife we should not share all the details and income of our business .

Bhasker Shetty, an innocent face. The son built his body from his father's hard earned money.
Every father has to think twice doing any business with their own wife and sons ... Kaala Badalaagide.
Lost a nice husband, a nice father .. now stay in jail without husband, without father mother ... for long years.....
for what ???? for money??? ... thoo nim janma haalaga...

What a son!
What a wife!
What a priest!
What a society!

RIP brother Bhasker. You are gem. they dont deserve you.

Startups in India raised $12.7 billion in funding in 2019, Bengaluru tops the list

News Network

January 15,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 15: The Indian startups secured 12.7 billion in funding last year -- a 15% growth compared to 2018 - and Bengaluru startup community topped the list, with securing $5.3 billion across 267 deals, a new report said on Tuesday.

In total, the Indian startups attracted 766 deals in 2019, taking total deal count between 2014-2019 to 5,011, said DataLabs by Inc42 in its annual startup funding report.

Sequoia took the top spot as the most active VC in 2019 with 53 deals, followed by Accel that participated in 38 deals. Blume Ventures, Matrix Partners and Tiger Global were in the top five VCs in 2019.

"The Indian startup economy is entering new decade with over $58 billion in fundraising and 2,984 funded startups between 2014-2019," the findings showed.

With an average of $21 million, the ticket size value of funding increased by 15% in 2019.

Ecommerce and fintech -- with $2.6 billion funding each -- took the top slot with 93 deals and 125 deals, respectively.

"Ecommerce continued to remain at the top by the end of 2019. The growing investor confidence towards sub-sectors such as vertical ecommerce, social commerce and private label businesses is one major factor for ecommerce maintaining its lead," a DataLabs spokesperson said in a statement.

According to the estimates, the funding amount and deal count in 2020 will be around $12.6 billion at a 1% decline from 2019.

"Nevertheless, the investment activity is expected to rise in 2021," said the report.

The data suggests that 2019 had lowest number of startups funded (664) in the last five years, with seed-stage funding deals dropping by 53%, compared to 2016.

With $252 million in funding, seed-stage deal value fell by 44% (compared to 2018) as only 306 seed funding deals were recorded, the report said.

The enterprise tech had a blockbuster year with total funding of $1.15 billion across 114 deals in 2019. The sector recorded a 49% surge in total funding amount, compared to 2018.

The Indian startup economy saw 275 unique VCs participating in funding in 2019, said the report.
