Executive brief · today

Zepto's SEBI clearance for a ₹9,300 crore IPO lands alongside Titan's record FY26 (₹76,797 crore, Q4 sales +48%) — two very different proofs that capital and consumption are both flowing. Quick commerce just hit its first normalization quarter: Blinkit's growth halved, Instamart's GOV dipped QoQ, and Swiggy is refusing to 'buy growth' even as Myntra and Flipkart Minutes double down on speed. Physical retail is equally alive, with 2,182 new stores in FY26 and Tata Starbucks betting on premium Reserve formats. Read today as the moment the land-grab turns into a margin conversation.

The shape of
today's briefing.

Today's feed tilts heavily retail-company, anchored by strong Q4 earnings from Titan and Swiggy alongside Zepto's repeated IPO drumbeat. Quick commerce dominates the narrative — expansion at Myntra, slowdown at Blinkit, and leadership moves at Flipkart — while store openings from Starbucks and Reliance round out an up-skewed day.
