Rapid commerce, a 2-4 hour delivery model, is emerging in India for jewellery, fashion and beauty. GIVA uses 360 stores as fulfilment hubs; Palmonas sees 25-30% of online sales from this channel. Shadowfax expands mini fulfilment centres.

Why this matters

GIVA's rapid-delivery push leverages its expanding store network, following a Rs 270 Cr debt round from BlackSoil to scale to 300+ outlets and the Kriti Sanon brand ambassador and investor signing.

Omni-channel activity holds steady with 373 signals in the last 90 days.
