India’s retail market could reach Rs 210-215 trillion by 2035, supporting retail-tech players Eternal, Nykaa, Delhivery and IndiaMART. Eternal’s quick commerce reached breakeven, while Nykaa expanded stores, rapid delivery and B2B distribution.

Why this matters

The watchlist follows signals of Eternal’s Q3 revenue rising 202% as quick commerce reached breakeven and the addition of 200-plus stores. It also aligns with a recent signal on Eternal and Nykaa scaling quick commerce and omnichannel retail.

Retail-company signals are accelerating, up 1,112,900% QoQ.
