Executive brief · today

Jewellery is the day's through-line — VBJ, Gargi, Titan and De Beers are all scaling formats and geographies at once, treating India as the category's growth engine to 2030. FMCG is moving the other way: Marico and Godrej are pivoting portfolios toward premium and Africa even as five majors including HUL and Nestlé churn their CEOs. Meesho's pre-IPO paradox — 88% smaller losses, wider marketplace EBITDA loss, 75% of orders shipped by AI — shows automation, not discounting, is now the margin lever. Watch Amazon's logistics-as-a-service opening and Dairy Day's QC-only SKU as quiet signals that distribution economics are being rewritten underneath the headlines.

EARNINGS · Q4 ▲ -88% loss
Meesho · 10-scan trend

Meesho shrinks Q4 loss to ₹166 Cr as revenue jumps 47%, but marketplace EBITDA loss widens to ₹198 Cr

Meesho's consolidated Q4 FY26 loss narrowed 88% YoY to ₹166.3 Cr on operating revenue of ₹3,531 Cr, per Inc42. Yet the marketplace arm's adjusted EBITDA loss worsened to ₹198 Cr from ₹109 Cr, and new initiatives including Valmo nearly doubled their loss, signalling profitability is still cohort-dependent.

Q.02 brand

How is Arvind Fashions thinking about future growth?

Vice Chairman Kulin Lalbhai told CNBC TV18 that ₹2,000-crore brands aren't the ceiling.

Q.04 brand
