Miles and margins

Delhivery's split screen, an OMS that has to learn store-level ATP, and a 3PL industry being told to stay in its lane.

  1. Supply Chain

    Revenue up, profit down, thesis clear

    Delhivery will not operate dark stores. Point-to-point miles do not compound.

  2. SaaS

    The stack that ships

    Unicommerce, Shopify, payout files. Multi-channel inventory is still a lie.

  3. Ecommerce

    Flipkart's store sprint

    1,500 dark stores is a number. The habit is a 2027 problem.

  4. Retail

    DMart and the trolley

    Price still wins the planned shop. The evening slot has left the building.
