2. Ed-tech and offline players merge for a long-term commercial strategy following the pandemic
According to analysts, Post-Covid, ed-tech, and offline firms in the nation are choosing the hybrid approach, mergers, and partnerships to create a long-term and sustainable business strategy. Shantanu Rooj, the founder and CEO of TeamLease EdTech, added that the industry is also considering partnerships and mergers because without them, many start-ups that can’t make their businesses sustainable will face existential problems and may go out of business.

6. Google was sued for stopping early adopters from using free workspace software
An early user of Alphabet’s Google’s Workplace cloud productivity software filed a lawsuit against the business, alleging that Google broke a commitment to give it free access to the software for life. There are many services offered by Google Workplace. All users can access some of the programmes for free, but business services like personalised email addresses and shared Drive storage are chargeable. The Stratford Company LLC filed a lawsuit on behalf of all early users who were persuaded to utilise the programme when it was still in its infancy, enabling Google to polish it and subsequently charge for it. The early adopters were guaranteed a free version of Workspace as long as Google made it available, according to Stratford Company.
