Best of BS Opinion: Start-up's flights of fancy, powering mobility & more

Here's a selection of Business Standard opinion pieces for the day

Given the state of the banking system, the government is reportedly considering the setting up of a bad bank to clean up bank balance sheets. RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das recently said the central bank was open to looking at any such proposal.
