Flashoot Expands PAN India, Launches in Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune and Delhi NCR
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 27: Flashoot, the Hyderabad-based content tech startup known for delivering professionally shot and edited videos in under 10 minutes, has officially announced its expansion into Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune and Delhi NCR. This marks a significant milestone in the company's mission to make high-quality short-form video content accessible, fast and affordable across India.
Founded by Voleti Karthik, Flashoot operates under Konchamkode Private Limited and offers a mobile-first platform that connects trained iPhone reelmakers known as Flashooters with creators, brands and individuals who need real-time, professional content. All shoots are conducted using iPhone 13 Pro or newer devices and each video is shot, edited and delivered in just 10 minutes, making Flashoot a game changer for India's growing creator economy.
Speaking about the expansion, Voleti Karthik, Founder and CEO of Flashoot, said, 'Flashoot started as a personal frustration when I struggled to get quality content for my family business. Great content was either too expensive, delayed or difficult to coordinate. We built Flashoot to solve that so that creators, startups and even local businesses can get professional content instantly. Today, we are proud to say we are building the world's fastest and most trusted content creation network powered entirely by smartphones and youth. This expansion is a massive step forward in that journey.' After gaining significant traction in Hyderabad, Flashoot has gone live in Mumbai's content hubs like Bandra, Andheri and South Bombay, and in Bangalore's creative neighborhoods including Koramangala, Indiranagar and HSR Layout. The company has also announced upcoming rollouts in Pune, Chennai, Jaipur and Kolkata, with active partner onboarding already underway.
Shreyak Singh, Co-Founder and CTO of Flashoot, added, 'We have seen an incredible response in Hyderabad. Expanding to Mumbai and Bangalore was a natural next step. These are cities where creators are constantly on the move and demand for fast, high-quality content is growing every day. Our model allows creators to earn on the go while ensuring clients get polished, trend-ready content without waiting for days or paying agency-level prices.' As part of its national rollout strategy, Flashoot has started onboarding local videographers, students and mobile creators in each new city. The company is also forming partnerships with cafes, D2C brands, event managers and creative agencies to integrate Flashoot into launch events, influencer campaigns and brand activations. Flashoot's services start at ₹1,999 per hourly shoot, with premium options available under its new verticals such as Flashoot Luxe and Flashoot Drones. Additionally, it is piloting its Tier 2 and 3 town model, where in-house salaried creators will service bookings via WhatsApp and calls, bypassing the app-based workflow to enable smoother access in emerging markets.
To date, Flashoot has delivered over 50,000 videos, operates in more than 10 cities across 3 countries, and maintains a 4.8 plus average client rating across platforms. With this expansion, the company aims to accelerate its vision of building a new-age creative economy where smartphones become income tools and content production is reduced from days to minutes.

Waste corp seeks new green nod for Verna plant
Panaji: After failing to get an environmental clearance (EC) to set up an integrated solid waste management and waste-to-energy plant at Verna for two years, the Goa Waste Management Corporation (GWMC) decided to speed up the process and file a fresh application before the state environment impact assessment authority (SEIAA). This plant would be the fourth plant in the state. There were some technical issues which led to the delay in the EC, but it has now been decided to clear all the queries and approach the authority for a fresh EC, a senior official said. The GWMC said that a waste-to-energy plant will be set up at Verna at an estimated cost of Rs 500 crore and will generate 16MW electricity and 38MW heat while processing 250 tonnes of waste per day (TPD). The project is the first of its kind in Goa, and since the non-biodegradable waste is continuously generated, the project will sustain itself, a senior govt official said. The electricity department will procure the power, and the steam generated at the plant will be supplied to industries to be utilised in manufacturing processes, the officer said. 'The objective of the plant is to generate electricity and steam from the non-biodegradable waste by adopting environment-friendly processes, and the outcome of the project includes long-term management of non-biodegradable waste without harming the environment,' the officer said. The non-biodegradable waste is stored in sheds in the panchayat jurisdiction, where the recyclable fraction of non-biodegradable waste is recovered and sent for recycling. The non-recyclable waste is stored in the shed and is collected by the GWMC. The corporation then bales this non-recyclable waste and sends it to various cement plants in Karnataka to be used as a fuel alternative in kilns, thus making it refuse derived fuels (RDF). 'The cost of transportation of such RDF is almost Rs 1,000 per tonne. The state is fully dependent on the Karnataka-based cement plants for the disposal of RDF,' the senior official said. He said that if there is a direction in the near future by the Karnataka state pollution control board for the stoppage of transportation of interstate waste, it will lead to the accumulation of RDF in water bodies and thereby affect aquatic life and also the flora and fauna. 'So, in order to have our own facility in Goa, it is proposed to establish a 250 TPD waste-to-energy plant,' he said. The plant at Verna will cater to the waste generated in Mormugao taluka and some parts of Salcete taluka. The plant will be set up on an area of 1 lakh sqm, and the environment impact study for the plant has already been done.

G-7 countries agree to the ‘Side by Side' tax deal for US companies: Here's what it means
The US and fellow Group of Seven nations have reached an agreement aimed to prevent a global tax war, by establishing a 'side-by-side' tax system. This new arrangement would exempt US companies from some elements of an existing global agreement. A key component of this deal involved the US officials agreeing to remove Section 899 from President Donald Trump's tax-cut bill, This provision, often referred to as the 'revenge tax' would have increased taxes on the US income of non-US-based businesses and individuals from countries whose tax policies Washington deems discriminatory. The side-by-side system could 'provide greater stability and certainty in the international tax system moving forward,' the G-7 advanced economies said Saturday in a statement. As part of the agreement, the other G-7 members will support the US's stance in ongoing negotiations with the Group of 20 countries and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which has been hosting global talks on corporate taxes, with some proposals drawing opposition from the US. Officials from the G-7 said they look forward to coming up with a solution that is 'acceptable and implementable to all,' according to the statement. While some progress has been made, the issue of 'digital services taxes,' remains only partially addressed. Some countries currently levy these taxes on the profits of US-based technology companies including Meta Platforms Inc. and Inc. The effort to establish a side-by-side system will include a 'constructive dialogue on the taxation of the digital economy and on preserving the tax sovereignty of all countries,' according to the G-7 statement. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday that he had asked Senate and House leadership to remove Section 899 from the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act after securing G-7 backing for the side-by-side system. Senate Republicans deleted the section in the latest version of the tax bill.

Apple spends half a billion dollars on California real estate in a week — is Tim Cook planning something big?
Tech giant Apple Inc. has made headlines this week with a massive real estate buying spree in California's South Bay, spending over $517 million on commercial properties in Santa Clara County, underscoring its deepening roots in Silicon Valley. Major Sunnyvale Acquisition Caps Week of Aggressive Expansion In its latest move, Apple purchased a prominent two-building office campus in Sunnyvale for a staggering $350 million, county records filed on June 26 confirmed. Located at 615 and 625 North Mathilda Avenue, the 382,500-square-foot complex—known as Mathilda Commons —was previously leased by Apple from real estate heavyweight Jay Paul Co. This deal represents one of Santa Clara County's costliest office acquisitions in 2025 so far and exceeds the campus's most recent assessed value of $292.8 million by nearly 20%, signalling a significant vote of confidence in the area's commercial property market, as per a report by Silicon Valley. Cupertino Deal Adds to Weekly Spending Surge Just two days prior, Apple completed another major transaction, acquiring a three-building office campus at 10200 North Tantau Avenue in Cupertino for $166.9 million, also transitioning from tenant to owner. With both deals combined, Apple has secured five office buildings this week alone, taking its South Bay property purchases to over half a billion dollars in just seven days. Commenting on the acquisitions, Kristina Raspe, Apple's Vice President of Global Real Estate and Facilities, stated: 'The Santa Clara Valley has been home to Apple for more than 40 years, and we're proud to continue investing in world-class facilities for our teams here.' Live Events Mathilda Commons Could House Nearly 2,000 Employees The recently purchased Sunnyvale property, besides being one of the priciest in recent memory, could also become a vital operational hub. Experts estimate the campus has the capacity to accommodate between 1,500 and 1,900 employees, bolstering Apple's presence beyond its famed Apple Park headquarters. The move reflects Apple's long-term real estate strategy of converting leased spaces into owned assets, a trend that the Cupertino-based firm has followed consistently in recent years. A Pattern of Strategic Acquisitions Apple has been steadily expanding its footprint across Cupertino, Sunnyvale, and other parts of the South Bay by acquiring properties it already occupies. Notable past purchases include: A $450 million acquisition in 2021 of a five-building campus near North De Anza Boulevard and Mariani Avenue. A 10-building campus known as 'Apple Results Way' in 2023, with the transaction value kept confidential. A $70 million office building at 10200 North De Anza Blvd. in 2023, reportedly acquired at a 35% discount on market value. Interestingly, Apple also sold one of its South Bay holdings this year—a property in north San Jose, offloaded to Samsung for $27 million in February 2025. FAQs What did Apple purchase most recently in Silicon Valley? Apple purchased a two-building office campus known as Mathilda Commons at 615 and 625 North Mathilda Avenue in Sunnyvale for $350 million. How large is the Sunnyvale property Apple just bought? The Sunnyvale campus spans 382,500 square feet and has capacity for 1,500 to 1,900 employees.
