How Swiggy predicts customer value with 350 pre-order signals
Swigby's in-house predicted lifetime value model leans on more than 350 pre-order features and a multi-task MLP to serve both Food and Instamart. Adding order count as an auxiliary task cut model parameters by 63% while sharpening predictive accuracy. That's the kind of practical efficiency we admire.

Perplexity's India revenue climbs 60% as free AI offer reshapes adoption
Perplexity's free AI offer brought in millions of new users across India, yet the real story is what happened next. Even after the Airtel promotion ended for new signups, Perplexity's India revenue climbed about 60%. Downloads fell, but engagement held. That points to lasting value, not just a spike. It's a useful reminder that adoption means little without retention.
Spotify crosses 300 million subscribers, growth fueled by value over price.
Spotify's subscriber base just crossed 300 million, and the kicker is that this growth came even after the company raised prices in several regions. That's a clear signal users see the value. A 9% jump in the second quarter isn't just a blip; it's momentum. For context, our piece on how Gen Z found community in NPR comments on Spotify shows the platform's pull beyond just music. This is a company making bold moves, and the numbers back them up.
