"With Alibaba, Tencent, Ctrip and Didi Kuaidi buying their way into their key peers in India, has the Chinese takeover of Indian Internet & Mobile ecosystem begun?"
In 2015, Chinese startups and investors have gone head to head with traditional players (US investors) and newcomers from Japan, in investing into Indian Startups. Alibaba is investing about $680 Million in Paytm, at a reported valuation of $3.4 Billion. Alibaba also invested alongside other investors like Foxconn and Softbank in a $500 Million round in Snapdeal.com at a reported $5 Billion valuation. Other players like Tencent, Ctrip and Didi Kuadi have already established beachheads in India.
