What to watch

- Take-rate disclosure on the Rs 15 Cr GMV (affiliate vs sponsored placement mix)
- Entry of Perplexity Shopping, Rufus, or Flipkart's own AI agent into India
- Series A announcement size and lead investor geography
- Lock exclusive affiliate or data partnerships with 2-3 marketplaces before competitors do

- Build a brand-facing dashboard to monetize the 5,000 integrations as a B2B revenue line
