India's retail IPO pipeline is visibly hardening: Myntra's 17x FY25 profit, Milky Mist's Temasek cheque at a halved valuation, and Flipkart's legal-plus-dealmaking hires all point to cleaner books and benches built for public-market scrutiny. Leadership decks are being rewired in parallel — Epigamia's post-Mirchandani reset and Titan's US/GCC plus lab-grown diamond hedge show boards pricing in succession and commodity shocks. Reliance's Anomaly buy and Amazon's opening of ATS to non-sellers mark the week's structural moves in brand M&A and logistics monetisation. Shoppers Stop's Q4 loss is the reminder that discretionary softness hasn't lifted.
