A new report by Ipsos, commissioned by Meta, highlights the growing influence of digital platforms on financial decisions in India.

The study, "From Feeds to Financial Futures," surveyed over 2,000 people and found that digital touchpoints now dominate the financial product purchase journey, with Meta platforms accounting for three of the top eight.

The report reveals that 57% of users rely on Instagram and 53% on Facebook for financial decisions, while half of users turn to WhatsApp to evaluate products.

Short-form videos, Reels, and direct business messaging are simplifying complex financial topics.

Notably, women are at the forefront of this digital shift, with 80% of those surveyed making independent financial decisions.

The study also found that financial podcasts and influencers are now considered more trustworthy than celebrity endorsements.

Reliance Retail has officially written off its β‚Ή1,645 crore investment in the hyperlocal delivery startup Dunzo.

The decision follows a series of setbacks for Dunzo, which ceased operations earlier this year as its app and website went offline.

Reliance had invested in Dunzo in January 2022, leading a $240 million funding round that gave it a 26 percent stake in the company.

Despite raising over $450 million from major investors, Dunzo struggled in the competitive quick commerce market.

Following the write-off, Reliance is now leveraging its own extensive store network and developing dark stores to expand its grocery-focused quick commerce business.

PE/VC Investments in India Show Resilience Amid Global Headwinds

Private equity and venture capital investments in India reached $26.4 billion across 593 deals in the first half of 2025.

This marks an 11% increase from the second half of 2024 but a 19% year-on-year decline from the same period in 2024, according to an EY-IVCA report.

The data reveals a shift in investor focus away from real estate and infrastructure towards technology, financial services, and emerging growth sectors.

Experts note that PE firms are moving from just "financial support" to "active value creation," focusing on operational optimization and strategic ex*****on.

Foreign capital remains committed to the Indian market, viewing it as a strategic alternative to other emerging economies.

A new report from the IESA Women in Energy Forum highlights the critical role of women in India's clean energy transition.

With India targeting 500 GW of clean energy by 2030, the report reveals that 60% of women in the sector are calling for gender-responsive policies.

Despite significant contributions across the energy value chain, women are severely underrepresented, making up only 11% of the distribution workforce and less than 1% of leadership roles.

The study, conducted across 26 states, points to unconscious bias and structural barriers as key challenges.

The report calls for stronger regulatory frameworks, inclusive hiring practices, and leadership programs to empower women as decision-makers and leaders, not just beneficiaries, in the clean energy future.
