KT Professional has launched KT Men, a science-backed grooming line, leveraging high-profile partnerships with IPL giants Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The bootstrapped brand aims for ₹100 crore in its first year, targeting India's rapidly expanding male personal care sector through a multi-channel distribution strategy.
A new McKinsey & Company report identifies quick commerce as the fastest-growing segment in India's digital economy, projected to reach $35-$40 billion by 2030. This rapid expansion is driven by a structural shift in consumer behavior toward ultra-fast delivery for both essential and discretionary goods.
Delhi Police have filed a case against Blinkit for allegedly selling knives that exceed legal blade length limits under the Arms Act. The investigation follows test orders and raids that recovered 50 banned weapons, with authorities linking the platform's inventory to two recent murders in the capital.
