Good morning,
It seems SPACs are everywhere these days. Grofers, the online grocery startup, is looking at going public in the US by merging with a blank-check company—aka a SPAC—floated by Cantor Fitzgerald, an investment bank and financial services company headquartered in New York. In other news, NPCI—and by extension, UPI—could soon see competition from the likes of
Amazon and Visa.
