Reliance and DMart led a 2,182-store build-out, the biggest in three years, signalling organised retail's push beyond metros. Walmart's CEO publicly backed Flipkart Minutes and pegged India sourcing at $40 billion cumulative, $10 billion annual by 2027.

Q.01 brand

How did Titan's FY26 shake out?

Titan closed FY26 with revenue up 32.7% to ₹76,078 crore and net profit up 52% to ₹5,073 crore. Q4 alone delivered ₹20,300 crore in revenue with jewellery sales up 50% to ₹18,195 crore. Management flagged margin risk if gold keeps climbing.

Q.02 brand

What powered Titan's jewellery surge?

Wedding buyers front-loaded gold purchases ahead of price rises, while Damas integration ran ahead of plan. Tanishq, Mia and Zoya together grew 48% to ₹16,047 crore in Q4, even after a mid-April halt in gold and silver imports. 150 new jewellery doors are planned.

Q.03 brand

Did Zepto finally get SEBI's nod?

Yes. SEBI cleared Zepto's ₹9,300 crore IPO in a batch of six approvals, with an updated DRHP expected within eight weeks. The primary component could run to ₹11,000-12,000 crore, making it a capital-heavy raise to fund quick-commerce burn.

Q.04 brand

What's Zepto's path to profitability?

Aadit Palicha has pitched institutional investors post-tax profitability by FY29, backed by 25-30% sequential quarterly growth and daily orders above 2.5 million. But FY25 losses widened 177% to ₹3,367.3 crore on dark-store and customer-acquisition spend, even as sales more than doubled to ₹9,668 crore.

Q.05 theme

What's happening in quick commerce right now?

The growth treadmill is slowing. Blinkit's NOV rose just 8% QoQ to ₹14,386 crore, half the prior pace; Instamart GOV slipped to ₹7,881 crore. Both are pivoting from volume chase to margin discipline as Amazon Now and Flipkart Minutes crowd in.

Q.06 brand

How is Blinkit tracking?

Blinkit's net order value grew just 8% sequentially to ₹14,386 crore, half the prior quarter's pace. It added 216 dark stores to cross 2,200 locations and held to 60% CAGR guidance over three years, though discounting is squeezing single-order economics.

The shape of
today's briefing.

Today's feed is dominated by earnings momentum and IPO signals. Titan's jewellery print recurs across four reads, while Zepto's billion-dollar IPO approval stacks up in Bengaluru. Quick-commerce shows mixed tone — Blinkit softening, Swiggy Instamart expanding to tier-2 cities, and Myntra widening dark-store reach.
