Amazon opens its India logistics stack to outsiders, setting up a direct fight with FedEx, UPS and Ekart

Amazon Transport Services will now offer freight, warehousing, fulfillment and last-mile delivery to any business, whether or not it sells on Amazon. The company is framing it as an AWS-style play, monetising infrastructure built for its own e-commerce engine. Flipkart's Ekart already does this.

Executive brief · today

Jewellery is the story of the day: VBJ, Gargi, Titan and De Beers are all betting that India's next decade belongs to premium and lab-grown diamonds, with flagships, format innovation and global corridors opening simultaneously. FMCG majors are rewriting their FY30 maps — Marico to Rs 20,000 crore, Godrej past Rs 15,000 crore, Dabur stabilising — while Arvind Fashions' turnaround shows apparel can still compound. Watch two structural shifts: Amazon opening its logistics stack to all shippers, and Xiaomi's Rs 15,000 crore collapse proving offline retail still decides winners. Shoppers Stop's loss-while-expanding is the cautionary note.

Q.01 brand

What's Shoppers Stop's latest earnings picture?

Shoppers Stop slipped to a Rs 16.35 crore Q4 net loss against a Rs 1.99 crore profit a year earlier, even as revenue rose 13.7% to Rs 1,210 crore. FY26 revenue closed at Rs 5,095 crore. Costs grew faster than sales at 14%, with beauty the bright spot at 17% growth.

Q.02 brand

How aggressive is Shoppers Stop's store expansion?

Shoppers Stop added 18 stores in FY26 — 9 flagship outlets, 4 departments, 4 INTUNE value stores and 1 HomeStop — on Rs 25 crore of capex. The land-grab is running ahead of profitability, a bet that scale will eventually cover costs outpacing revenue.

Q.03 theme

What's happening in jewellery retail today?

Four signals converge on a premium pivot: VBJ's 14,000 sq ft Anna Salai flagship with an invite-only Atelier floor, Gargi by PNGS crossing 126 outlets with a Delhi debut, Titan pushing into US/GCC and lab-grown diamonds, and De Beers forecasting India's diamond market to double by 2030.

Q.04 brand

What's VBJ's new flagship strategy?

The 125-year-old Chennai jeweller opened a three-floor, 14,000 sq ft flagship on Anna Salai, zoning gold, diamond and an invite-led Atelier VBJ for high-ticket buyers. Next stops: Coimbatore, Tiruchirappalli, Hyderabad and Milpitas, California — a rare NRI-facing bet.

Q.05 theme

What's happening in quick commerce today?

Bengaluru's Dairy Day launched Ob & Gob, an ice cream sub-brand engineered exclusively for Blinkit, Zepto and Swiggy Instamart — no parlour or freezer distribution. It's a rare instance of a legacy dairy treating 10-minute delivery as the primary channel, not an add-on.

Q.06 brand

What's Amazon's new India play?

Amazon Transport Services is opening its India logistics stack — freight, warehousing, fulfilment, last-mile — to any business, whether or not they sell on Amazon. It's an AWS-style infrastructure monetisation move, setting up direct competition with FedEx, UPS and Flipkart's Ekart.

The shape of
