Like I said, win some lose some, and you can't get all the stories - these are busy days with a lot of stuff on the plate of a 2 person team...
But I'm pretty certain that in the last week or so (and in pretty much any week), we're way up in terms of scoops, so am not too worried. :)
However, Khaitan appears to have managed to scoop them to it on this one, not sure why.
Or maybe Indus is busy on Snapdeal's 45th fundraising round? :)
