Episode Synopsis: David Corbin from Tech in Asia returns to our podcast to discuss the three major events that rocked the SoftBank Group in the past few weeks. We reviewed the departure of Nikesh Arora, the rapid divestments of SoftBank's stakes in Alibaba, Gungho and Supercell and their most expensive gambit in acquiring ARM. In our conversation, we analysed why SoftBank acquired ARM from their strategy with robotics and telecommunications to leveraging the macro-economical conditions of UK and Japan and offered an understanding to Masayoshi San's investment strategy. Last but not least, we examine the impact of these events to the future of the SoftBank Group and whether we should be bullish or bearish about the company.
