India1, Avocado Startups & Product-Market Fit – By Sajith Pai
This is pretty good. I need to dissect it more but fair to say that the market is not “India” but I think this can be applied to Southeast Asia as well since lots of folks paint large brushstrokes by country or sector but it is more city and culture driven in some regards.

Skift Top Travel Startups to Watch 2019 – Skift:
BUSINESS TRAVEL MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR SMALL COMPANIES
Money Raised: $1.2 million
Headline Investors: SeedPlusSkift Take: TravelPerk and TripActions are popularizing cloud-based business travel management in the U.S. and Europe. The startups offer services for high-growth, midsize businesses that are too small to hire full-service travel management agencies but too large to cope with travel booking hassles on their own. Travelstop aims to bring a locally relevant and uniquely sophisticated version of this concept to Southeast Asia. It can cope with local tax issues and preferred payment methods, and it can offer bookings on most regional and budget carriers. CEO Prashant Kirtane previously co-founded Travelmob, a vacation rental booking service that Expedia Group acquired in 2015.

I don’t share much from Dropbox – it’s where I file a lot of personal stuff. Might switch over to iCloud and drop Dropbox.
