Zomato shares soar in red-hot start for first Indian unicorn to go public
CNN
India's first billion-dollar tech startup to go public got off to a flying start on Friday.
Shares in Zomato gained about 80% on their first day of trading on Mumbai's stock exchange, giving the food delivery company a market value of about $13 billion. The listing comes a little over a week after the company launched its IPO to raise $1.3 billion. "India is a tough market to operate in, but if you are building to succeed in India, you are already exceptional," Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal wrote in a blog post Friday. "We are going to relentlessly focus on 10 years out and beyond, and are not going to alter our course for short term profits at the cost of long term success of the company."
The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname — a small South American country east of Venezuela – the admiral who oversaw the operation told lawmakers on Thursday according to two sources with direct knowledge of his remarks.

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.
