Millennials are putting an end to housing woes by opting for co-living spaces, which offer the ease of living and a vibrant community with like-minded people. Millennials are known for moving around. They job-hop for better opportunities, which is partly due to economic realities outside their control. Most millennials are known to switch jobs once in one to three years, which sometimes require switching cities, leading to changing homes. It is rare to find millennials who have not spent hours looking for that perfect house to live in, at the right price, location, and with the right people.

That deal included payments unit PhonePe — an early pioneer in the digital-wallet business — which Flipkart had acquired two years earlier. Now Walmart is engineering a spinoff as part of a $1 billion funding round that could value payment unit at up to $10 billion and give the retailer an 82% stake in PhonePe and Flipkart, India’s Economic Times reported....

Stephen Schwarzman, chairman, CEO and co-founder, Blackstone. India is currently experiencing a slowdown but still remains a great long-term play and the current decline in the Indian economy is a remarkable opportunity to invest more capital in the country , says Stephen Schwarzman, chairman, chief executive officer and co-founder of Blackstone. Edited excerpts from an interview given on CNBC TV18. What are your views about global slowdown ? It is pretty clear that globally the economy is slowing down at different rates in different parts of the world. Just starting with US, which is the biggest economy as a country, we are slowing in manufacturing but we still have a full employment economy, we still have high levels of consumer confidence and consumers create 70% or maybe even a little more of the economy in the US. So if manufacturing, which is roughly 11%, is a little slower, in fact, going down then we can still keep growing for quite some time unless there is some...
