Executive brief · today

Gold's record run is rewriting jewellery economics: Titan's Q4 revenue surged 77.6% but margins compressed to 7.2% as volumes crashed 19% sector-wide, pushing the category toward lightweight and studded — a thesis De Beers reinforced with its 2x-by-2030 India call. Internet retail delivered its clearest profitability signal yet, with Zepto's Sebi nod for a ₹12,000 crore IPO landing alongside Meesho's 88% loss cut and Swiggy's narrowing ₹800 crore Q4 loss. Physical expansion tilted decisively to Tier III-IV and high streets, led by V-Bazaar's 120-store plan and Nexus Select Trust's ₹1,300 crore Guwahati buy. Watch the ₹2,000 crore brand race — Arvind's US Polo cleared ₹2,500 crore and KKCL just entered ethnicwear.
