Yaantra co-founder Jayant Jha launches BytePe, a smartphone subscription platform BytePe, a tech subscription platform, has launched to offer consumers an easier way to get the latest smartphones. Founded by Jayant Jha, former Flipkart leader and co-founder of Yaantra, BytePe aims to make premium technology more affordable and flexible for Indian consumers. For years, Indians have followed the traditional ownership model by saving money, taking EMIs, and keeping old devices. BytePe changes this by offering a subscription service where users pay monthly fees lower than EMIs, upgrade to new models each year, and use the service without extra costs or lock-ins. At launch, consumers can access the newly released iPhone 17 Series, including iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, through BytePe’s subscription plans. Subscribers receive one-time damage protection, upgrade options at the end of the tenure, and assured buyback benefits. For customers preferring upfront purchases, BytePe offers 50% assured buyback at the end of 12 or 24 months, along with comprehensive protection. Under its “Pay for what you use” model, BytePe claims users can save up to 50% compared to EMIs, with no upfront costs or hidden charges. The platform also plans to introduce options that include insurance, buyback, and flexible upgrades under one plan.

Snippets Google’s AI Futures Fund backs Mukund Jha’s Emergent AI-led software creation startup Emergent has raised a strategic investment from Google AI Futures Fund. The funding is part of Google’s AI Futures Fund, launched in May 2025 to support early-stage AI companies with capital. The development comes soon after Emergent’s $23 million in Series A funding led by Lightspeed, with participation from Together Fund and others. The new funding will be used to speed up hiring, product development, and global expansion, Emergent said in a press release. It also plans to use Google’s AI infrastructure and models to improve agent performance, product reliability, and platform scale as demand grows across global markets. Emergent said that it is expanding its presence among freelancers, startups, and side-hustle founders who need fast software deployment without engineering teams. Founded in 2025 by Mukund Jha (former co-founder of Dunzo) and his brother Madhav Jha, Emergent allows users to convert ideas into production-grade applications using autonomous AI agents, removing the need for developers or technical co-founders. The platform targets entrepreneurs, small businesses, creators, and solo founders who want to build software without coding skills. The startup claims it has crossed 2.5 million users globally within five months of launch and has surpassed a $25 million annual recurring revenue (ARR) run rate.
