Brevo’s €500M Buyout: French Tech’s New Unicorn and Its Global Ambitions
Brevo, formerly Sendinblue, has completed a landmark €500 million financing round, catapulting it into unicorn status and marking one of the largest liquidity events in French tech history. As reported by both FrenchTechJournal and the Financial Times, the transaction was structured as a private equity-led growth buyout, with General Atlantic and Oakley Capital each acquiring a 25% stake, while management and employees remain the largest single shareholder group. The deal, which resets the company’s cap table and enables strategic expansion—particularly in the U.S.—underscores a maturing European tech landscape where such secondary transactions are becoming more common, providing liquidity for early investors and aligning new backers behind long-term growth. Brevo’s CEO, Armand Thiberge, emphasized continued investment in AI and M&A, with the goal of reaching €1 billion in revenue by 2030 and positioning Brevo as a global CRM contender.

India Cuts Rates Amid Soaring Growth and Weakness Signals
India’s central bank has cut its policy rate to 5.25%, matching economist forecasts, as reported by Financial Times and CNBC. The decision reflects a nuanced landscape: headline growth remains robust and inflation is subdued, but the Reserve Bank of India flagged "weakness in some key economic indicators," indicating policymakers are wary of underlying fragilities. The RBI has now reduced borrowing costs by 1.25 percentage points since last year, aiming to sustain momentum while managing risks in Asia’s fastest-growing major economy.

Germany’s Factory Orders Rise on Big-Ticket Demand
World Street Journal (International) highlights a renewed uptick in German factory orders, driven chiefly by large-scale contracts in the aerospace, transport, and defense sectors. This rebound offers a positive signal for Europe’s industrial powerhouse after a period of stagnation, though the recovery remains uneven across industries and is heavily reliant on sporadic mega-orders rather than broad-based manufacturing strength.

Rupee’s Poor Performance: Macro Headwinds for India’s Currency
The Financial Times notes that the Indian rupee has emerged as Asia’s worst-performing currency this year, despite the country’s strong GDP growth. The underperformance is attributed to persistent current account deficits, outflows of foreign capital, and global investors’ cautious stance on emerging markets, which have overshadowed India’s otherwise favorable macroeconomic narrative.

Anthropic’s Momentum: Outpacing OpenAI in Business-Focused AI
According to The Information, Anthropic is rapidly closing the gap with OpenAI, positioning itself as a disciplined, business-centric alternative in the generative AI space. With projections to achieve profitability several years ahead of OpenAI and a strong reputation for risk management, CEO Dario Amodei’s approach is contrasted with Sam Altman’s "YOLO" strategy. This shift is exemplified by Anthropic’s surging revenues—bolstered by the staggering $1 billion in sales for its Claude Code product in just six months, as Zdnet reports—and signals a maturing AI market where long-term, enterprise-focused models are gaining investor confidence.
