Reliance Retail buys out Priyanka Chopra's Anomaly, bolting a celebrity haircare brand onto Tira
Reliance Retail has acquired full ownership of Anomaly's trademarks, brand assets and digital properties, per a BSE and NSE filing. Founded in 2021, the clean, vegan haircare label will be scaled in India through Tira and the group's omnichannel network, with India flagged as a priority market.
Reliance Retail's buyout of Priyanka Chopra's Anomaly marks a clear escalation in Tira's premium beauty stack — celebrity equity is now on the shopping list. Amazon Now's 25% MoM growth and 100-city rollout, alongside Eternal's Blinkit-fuelled 4.5x profit jump, confirm quick commerce is reshaping parent P&Ls even as margins stay razor-thin at 0.3%. Offline is bifurcating: Titan is scaling toward 2,000 stores while Go Fashion's profit fell 37% on negative SSSG. Watch Cars24, where a second cofounder exit in a week clouds the IPO runway.

Amazon Now's quick-commerce land grab
Amazon Now is the week's loudest quick-commerce story: 25% MoM order growth, Prime users tripling frequency, a 100-city India target, and the template now exported to eight markets. Jassy is clearly positioning India as Amazon's global q-commerce blueprint.

Blinkit-led quick commerce reshapes parent P&Ls
Blinkit now drives 76.5% of Eternal's revenue and pushed Q4 profit 4.5x, yet EBITDA margin sits at 0.3% on Rs 14,386 crore of orders. Dhindsa's 3-million-orders-a-day arc reframes quick commerce as scale-first, margin-later.
