What to watch

  • Post-wedding-season demand normalization vs. sustained growth curve

  • Return-rate spikes in occasion categories affecting brand unit economics
  • New Tier-2/3 warehouse or dark-store expansion announcements
  • Track Myntra's next festive/wedding-season GMV disclosure to confirm demand is structural not seasonal
  • Monitor which D2C brands secure exclusive or preferred-placement deals on the platform

  • Watch competitor festive campaign spend and exclusive-brand onboarding cadence
  • Evaluate regional fulfilment capex and delivery-SLA improvements in new city clusters
