- Repeat purchase, push-notification engagement and cross-category attachment within 30-90 days.
- Social sentiment around product design, pricing, licensing authenticity and availability.
- Use app-exclusive early access, waitlists and push alerts to convert capsule demand into persistent first-party app engagement.

- Allocate scarce or high-demand SKUs by app demand data before releasing inventory to stores, website and Myntra.
- Track licensed-capsule performance separately from baseline womenswear to determine whether celebrity IP drives incremental demand or merely shifts existing purchases.
- Prepare a follow-on drop or restock only for proven styles, using social content and creator seeding to sustain momentum after the 48-hour window.
