Gurgaon based Aspiring Minds has acquired online and mobile internship platform, Letsintern

Online skills assessment company Aspiring Minds has acquired online and mobile internship platform, Letsintern, for an undisclosed amount in an all-cash deal.

This step, however odd it may sound, can get really beneficial for bus aggregation startups like Shuttl and ZipGo, who can jump on the opportunity to offer their services to more people now.
