Shein crossing 30 million app installations is huge! 🇮🇳 Fashion and lifestyle segment doing well. I use Ajio Luxe regularly and the variety is amazing. Isha Ambani's vision for digital commerce is really paying off.
568 million transactions in one quarter is mind-boggling! That's like almost 2 transactions per second. JioMart's 2-hour delivery network is a game changer. I ordered groceries last week and got them in 90 minutes. 👌
Revenue up but profit down - classic expansion phase story. I appreciate the resilience but hope they focus on profitability soon. The Indian consumer will benefit from more competition, not just one giant player.
My family switched from local shops to JioMart during lockdown and never looked back. The quality and consistency is unmatched. 396 million registered customers - that's more than USA's population! 🚀 India's consumption story is real.
