There’s emerging evidence that the economy might be picking up slowly, but growth level around 5% is insufficient for India, Raghuram Rajan told CNBC’s “Street Signs” on Monday. “I

There have been signs that some risks in the global economy are receding, allowing businesses to once again plan for the long term, said Bill Winters, chief executive of British bank Standard Chartered.

The less than one-year old start-up has already raised around 5 million yuan ($723,181). The company’s main product is plant-based mince meat made mainly from pea protein in both pork and beef flavors. China is a huge market opportunity for plant-based meat alternatives.
