Nykaa appointed supply-chain veteran Ankit Jain to lead Nykaa Now, its 13-city quick-commerce service. The retailer aims to expand nationwide demand pockets by FY30, leverage 320-plus stores for hyperlocal delivery, and provide same- or next-day delivery for 90% of orders.

Why this matters

The Nykaa Now appointment builds on Nykaa’s recent quick-commerce leadership move and follows its expanded L’Oréal Luxe mandate, which includes taking over Kiehl’s India operations.

Leadership is steady at 940 signals in 90 days; no QoQ change was provided.
