A hacker using the alias Blinkers has allegedly leaked 1.86 million Adda.io (ADDA ) user records, triggering serious cybersecurity concerns within India’s housing-tech ecosystem. The 145 MB database is reportedly circulating on a hacker forum, containing sensitive details that could be misused if decrypted.

As Digital Personal Data Protection Rules 2025 come into force, startups managing user data now face higher regulatory scrutiny and a strong push for security-first innovation. With Adda.io widely used by housing societies for operational management, the incident could prompt users and associations to review credentials and seek clarity on exposure. The event serves as a wake-up call for India’s rapidly growing SaaS and community-tech sectors to reinforce cyber resilience.

A big boost for fintech — Paytm has received RBI’s final approval to function as a Payment Aggregator. The licence enables the company to onboard new online merchants and expand its payment operations across India. This comes after a detailed audit and reapplication process following RBI’s earlier rejection in 2022.

As Paytm sharpens focus on digital payments, regulatory clarity could drive new growth momentum—despite Q2 FY26 net profit dipping to Rs 21 crore amid higher accounting charges. The move could pave the way for stronger merchant services and fintech innovation at scale.

Eternal (formerly Zomato) has invested an additional Rs 600 crore into blinkit , taking its total funding for 2025 to over Rs 2,600 crore. As quick commerce becomes the company’s biggest growth engine, Blinkit alone delivered nearly 73% of Eternal’s Q2 FY26 revenue.

With rising competition from Zepto, Swiggy Instamart and BigBasket, profitability pressure is mounting even as demand grows. Eternal is betting big on inventory-led operations to capture market share—signalling a long-term play in India’s fast-evolving quick commerce landscape.
