标题:India’s startup scene is picking up speed again

Zippy new firms are emerging in a number of areas


正文:Visitors to Bangalore, India’s tech hub, quickly learn why locals measure distances in minutes and not kilometres. The city’s clogged streets turn every outing into a test of patience. Other large cities in the country are just as bad. So it is no surprise that Indians are getting everything from biryanis and books to mangoes and mobile phones delivered straight to their doors—often in under ten minutes. “Quick commerce” is a booming business in India. Zomato, the largest company in the industry, is valued at $26bn; its share price has nearly doubled this year. Swiggy, its closest rival, is expected to go public on November 13th at a valuation of $11bn. Zepto, another competitor founded in 2021, is now worth $5bn.


知识点:hub n.

1. the central and most important part of a particular place or activity(某地或活动的)中心,核心

the commercial hub of the city城市的商业中心

a hub airport (= a large important one where people often change from one plane to another) 大型中转机场
