Young entrepreneurs from Andhra Pradesh start up the new and innovative, Picxy.
THE VISUAL STRONGHOLD
The dreary shortage of visual content from India, and Asia and the booming requirements for valid, interesting and competitive content gave shape to the innovative idea of Picxy. So, when the founders Jitendra Emmani, Vamsi Mannem and Satish V Mandala, saw untapped potential in the area of stock photography, with an Asian focus, the team not only built the platform but also managed to raise seed capital at 1 million USD valuation in the first move.

Safety Against Coronavirus
Spreading thick and fast all over the globe, the deadly coronavirus (COVID-19) has claimed about 4000 lives and infected over 100000 people in more than 100 countries. Here are the symptoms, precautions, and the common myths surrounding coronavirus as shared by the World Health Organization (WHO).
REALTY CHECK
The scenic coastal city of Visakhapatnam is slowly emerging as a preferred destination to live and work in for many.

A range of projects are now seeing the light of day, each promising incremental value. One can choose from gated communities to residential villas or plots of land for investment. Commercial properties are on the rise too, with new companies trying to find a foothold in the region. With all these elements, the city is poised for remarkable prospects in the days to come. The Yo! team interacts with a few of the city’s top realtors, who talk about the market, their projects and share expert insights.
