Bira 91 raises $70 mn from Japanese beer company Kirin Holdings๐Ÿบ

Indian craft beer maker Bira 91 has raised $70 million in a funding round led by Japanese beer company Kirin Holdings Co Ltd as it looks to ramp up production amid strong demand for the alcoholic beverage.

Bira competes with brands such as Carlsberg and Heineken-owned United Breweries in India's estimated $5 billion beer market.

The company launched in 2015 and has a portfolio of 10 diverse flavors in its portfolio, along with many seasonal beers released in its tap rooms.

The company recently announced an acquisition of the largest beer-pub chain in the country โ€” The Beer Cafรฉ. The company has a presence across 550 towns in 18 countries across the globe.

Paytm stock hits all-time low as Macquarie flags Jio Finance threat๐Ÿ“‰

Shares of Paytmโ€™s parent firm One 97 Communications fell to a new all-time low on Tuesday after Macquarie Group analysts flagged risks from billionaire Mukesh Ambaniโ€™s foray into financial services.

Relianceโ€™s Jio Financial Services โ€œcan pose a significant growth and market-share riskโ€ for players such as Paytm and Bajaj Finance Ltd, Macquarie analysts led by Suresh Ganapathy wrote in a note.

Paytmโ€™s stock fell more than 10% on the news and ended the day at Rs 475.55 on NSE, 11.44% down from its previous close. The company has shed more than 20% of its market cap in just the past five trading days.

Reliance already has a non-banking finance company license which it could leverage to kickstart consumer and merchant lending in a big way, the Macquarie analysts said.

US, China at forefront of space race 2.0๐Ÿš€

India's first privately made rocket lifted off from ISRO's spaceport in Sriharikota last week, marking the private sector's first foray into space.

Developed by four-year-old Hyderabad-based startup Skyroot Aerospace, the launch of Vikram-S โ€“ named after Vikram Sarabhai, the father of India's space program โ€“ is the first launch since the space segment was thrown open to private players in 2020.

Indiaโ€™s private space companies have a lot of catching up to do. According to data from Space Capital and Statista, US companies have cornered almost half (46.3%) of all investments in private space companies since 2014. China comes in second with 29.3% and Singapore is a distant third with 5.2%. India comes in at number six, with 2.3%.
