The retail war is over after two years of fighting. But, as we all know, war takes a heavy toll. As a result, it is critical to determine who lost what and whether anyone benefitted from the same.

On the one hand, Amazon aims to extend its retail business in India by combining two businesses: Amazon technologies and the future group and supply chain; on the other hand, Reliance wants to expand its retail business and sees future retail as a way to do so. Both firms reach an impasse on who is legally permitted to take over the retail business. It has come to an end after a two-year battle. Who has won the war and who will benefit from it remains to be seen.

  The battle for dominance in India's physical retail space has seen many casualties. Even the likes of Aditya Birla Group and Godrej Group, which are among the country's largest conglomerates, had to pack the bags and leave. In 2018, the Aditya Birla Group sold its More supermarket chain to Samara Capital and Amazon. Then, in 2019, the Godrej Group offloaded its grocery outlets under the Nature's Basket brand to Spencer's Retail.   Let us take one more recent example. With more than 1,500 stores, Future Retail was once India's second-largest retailer. Now, Future Retail, along with other group companies, is being taken to the National Company Law Tribunal as lenders seek to recover their dues under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. This leaves Reliance Retail and Avenue Supermarts-run DMart as India's top retailers. However, the going has been just as tough, if not more, for foreign firms. According to a recent report by one financial daily, Amazon, Reliance Retail, Avenue Supermarts, Tata Group, Lulu Group, and Samara Capital are among those looking to buy German retailer Metro AG's Indian cash-and-carry operations for anywhere between $1.5-1.75 billion. Metro has been running a chain of 31 cash-and-carry stores across India since 2003. According to the report, the decision to cash out came after intense competition and the large investments needed to sustain operations forced the company to carry out a detailed business review.     In 2020, Reuters reported that Walmart Inc, the world's largest retailer, had fired 56 of its executives in India. The move, agency said that, underscored the challenges Walmart was facing in expanding its wholesale business in India. Carrefour, one of the largest retail chains in the world, had also exited India in 2014, less than four years after it had opened its first store in the country.   According to a report from March this year, a top official at the American retail giant Walmart said that the company was not keen on opening direct-to-consumer physical stores in India. Instead, it would focus on growing its acquisitions -- which are online marketplace Flipkart and payments major PhonePe.   In 2019, Amazon invested close to rs 1,500 crore for a 49% stake in Future Retail's promoter entity Future Coupons. Thus, indirectly gaining a 4.8% stake in the former. Amazon's aim was to expand its foothold in India's retail market. But it didn't happen. As a previous Morning Show story had explained, companies like Amazon face more hurdles when it comes to tapping India's retail consumer base. This is because foreign investment in offline multi-brand retail is tightly controlled. India allows 51% FDI in multi-brand retail under the government route.

What will the future retail store look like? This is the question of our second episode of Fashion Questions… To help us understand where the retail market is heading, we've invited Doug Stephens to talk to us about it. He is a retail futurist, renowned author, and founder and CEO of Retail Prophet, a consultancy specialising in trends forecasting and consumer behaviour.

20 months after announcing that it would buy Future Group's retail, wholesale and logistics business for Rs 24,713 crore, Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries on Sunday backed out of it.  Reliance said the deal cannot be implemented after the secured creditors of Future Group's flagship firm Future Retail, which operates Big Bazaar and Easyday stores, voted against it.  Once India's second-largest retailer with more than 1,500 stores, Future Retail along with other group companies are now expected to go to the National Company Law Tribunal as lenders seek to recover their dues of almost Rs 29,000 crore under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.  The deal has been at the centre of a lengthy legal battle between Amazon and Reliance.  Amazon has challenged the takeover in various forums and obtained legal injunctions that stalled the deal.  In August 2019, Amazon had invested about Rs 1,500 crore for a 49% stake in Future Retail's promoter entity Future Coupons, indirectly gaining a 4.8% stake in the former. Amazon says its 2019 deal came with an agreement that bars Future Group from selling its retail assets to Reliance without its permission.  Amazon was looking to expand its foothold in India's vast retail market. In 2018, Amazon and private equity firm Samara bought food and grocery retail chain More from Aditya Birla Group.  When it comes to tapping India's retail consumer base, companies like Amazon face more hurdles. Foreign investment in offline multi-brand retail is tightly controlled. India allows 51% FDI in multi-brand retail under the government route, subject to the investor fulfilling several conditions. States can also decide whether to allow foreign-owned multi-brand stores. India's retail market was worth $883 billion in 2020, according to Forrester Research. The market size is expected to grow to $1.3 trillion by 2024, dominated by the grocery segment.  With the Future Group's retail, wholesale, logistics and warehousing units, Reliance was aiming to bolster its JioMart app and increase its presence in the online grocery delivery space.  Even as the deal fell through, Reliance is in a sweet spot after taking over 947 stores of Future Group, citing non-payment of rent, after transferring the leases to itself. These include 112 Central and Brand Factory outlets of Future Lifestyle Fashions. Reliance may reportedly bid for the remaining Future Group assets at the NCLT, leaving few options on the table for Amazon.     According to Utkarsh Sinha, Managing Director, Bexley Advisors, Future Retail creditors, shareholders ended up worse off following this development. Reliance has scored a win in the short term. If Amazon seeks to limit the growth of Reliance, it can stretch the dispute. Reliance, however, got what it wanted, as it is evident now that Amazon underestimated Reliance.  Future Retail last month said it was committed to taking back its stores which were taken by Reliance, saying it had been surprised by what it called "drastic and unilateral action" by Reliance. Amazon and the lenders may also support the company's effort in this regard. Meanwhile, Amazon also might continue its legal battle related to the deal between Future and Reliance. Whatever be the outcome, Reliance will continue to enjoy its undisputable pole position in the country's retail sector as the fall of India's original retail king and Future Group founder Kishore Biyani is sealed. As for Amazon, the value erosion of Future Group's assets in the past two years means its effort to make any progress on its offline retail ambitions in India has been futile. Watch video

Top headlines   Sensex rallies 367 pts, ends above 60,000; Nifty holds 17,900 Thermax surges 7% on Rs 546-crore order Talbros Automotive zooms 27% in 2 days as investor Vijay Kedia increases stake Future Retail falls 6% as Delhi High Court rejects plea to dismiss Amazon arbitration India's Services PMI at a three-month low of 55.5 in December amid Omicron fear   The benchmark indices' strong rally continued for a fourth straight day, despite a quiet start of the session today. The BSE Sensex reclaimed the crucial 60,000 mark as investors expected Covid-related restrictions to ease sooner than expected.   Market participants also expect the uncertain outlook to delay policy tightening by global central banks, keeping liquidity taps running for equity markets.   The Sensex settled at 60,223, up 367 points or 0.6 per cent. On the NSE, the Nifty50 marched past the 17,900 mark and closed at 17,925 levels, up 120 points or 0.67 per cent.   Technically, the Nifty has reached its hurdle zone of 18,000-18,100, where investors can look to trim their long position. Further, if the index manages to sustain above this resistance, it may enter a fresh breakout and inch towards its previous swing high.   The Bajaj twins were the top Sensex gainers after Bajaj Finance reported 8.6% quarterly growth in assets under management during the October-December period. The duo gained up to 5%.   Kotak Bank, Axis Bank, Tata Steel, HDFC Bank, Asian Paints, and SBI were some of the additional gainers. On the downside, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, HCL Tech, and Wipro were the top laggards.   The broader markets, however, continued to underperform for a second straight day. The BSE MidCap index ended 0.4 per cent higher while the BSE SmallCap index closed mildly in the red.   That said, volatility was high in the markets with the fear gauge – India VIX – rallying nearly 7 per cent.   A large part of today's rally was propelled by financial and banking counters, with 7 of the top 10 index contributors from this space.   Banks put up a robust run with the Nifty Bank index closing 2.3% higher. Other strong performers were metals, auto, realty and energy indices, which ended with a gain of over 1% each.   Meanwhile, high selling pressures remained unabated in defensive sectors, especially IT, which caused the Nifty IT index to end nearly 2% down. Pharma, the second-worst performer, closed 0.3 % lower.   Similarly, airlines also had a weak showing amid a rapid increase in Covid-19 cases across the country and several states enforcing strict lockdown-like restrictions. SpiceJet, IndiGo and Jet Airways slipped 1.6%, 3.2% and 0.3%, respectively, on the BSE.   Among individual stocks, Thermax gained over 6% after the company announced it bagged an order worth Rs 546 crore from a public sector power company.   That apart, the shares of Talbros Automotive Components rallied 20% to touch a new life-time high on the BSE. The stock price of the auto ancillary company has zoomed 81% in the past six weeks with ace investor Vijay Kedia buying nearly 2 per cent in the company through the open market.   On the flip side, Future Retail fell 6.3% as the Delhi High Court on Tuesday rejected the Future Group's plea seeking to quash the arbitration proceedings initiated by Amazon in the Singapore International Arbitration Centre.   Lastly, on the macroeconomic front, India's services sector activity, as measured by the Purchasing Managers' Index, or PMI, fell to a three-month low of 55.5 in December from 58.1 in November. This came as several states imposed night curfews ahead of the Christmas season amid Omicron fears.   Moreover, economists expect a mild downward risk to their earlier GDP forecasts as restrictions would affect services. The curbs may pull down economic growth in the range of 10-30 basis points in the fourth quarter, some of them said.

After trading on both sides of the flatline, the benchmark indices eked out gains to end the session on a positive note, snapping their two-day losing run. The gains led by Airtel, Nestle, ITC and TCS helped Sensex rise 55 points to 58,305. Nifty50, meanwhile, added 16 points to settle the weekly expiry at 17,369. In the 50-pack index, ONGC, Bharti Airtel, Nestle and Hindalco were among the leading gainers and SBI Life, HDFC Life, Titan and Ultratech Cement were the top losers. Overall, both indices gained nearly 0.3 per cent, thus ending the truncated week on a positive note. The domestic markets will be closed for trading on Friday on account of Ganesh Chaturthi. Buying momentum remained strong in the broader markets. Both BSE Midcap and Smallcap scaled fresh record highs in trade, with the former closing the session 0.56 per cent higher and the latter 0.52 per cent. Sectorally, the Nifty Media index shone the most with gains of nearly 3 per cent. Other gainers included Metals, FMCG and IT. Meanwhile, Nifty Realty was the worst performer, followed by Financial Services, Bank and Private Bank index. In stock-specific news, shares of Dish TV rallied 20 per cent to a 52-week high of Rs 17.95, up 30 per cent in three days, after YES Bank sent a notice to the company to remove the top management, including the managing director Jawahar Lal Goel. YES Bank in a letter said that the Board is not acting in line with good corporate governance standards and is not a fair representation of the incumbent significant shareholders of the company. Future Retail stock ended at 10 per cent upper circuit limit after the Supreme Court Thursday stayed all the proceedings before the Delhi High Court for four weeks related to the implementation of an award by Singapore's Emergency Arbitrator restraining Future Retail Ltd (FRL) from going ahead with its Rs 24,731 crore merger deal with Reliance Retail. UCO Bank soared 11 per cent to Rs 15 as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) removed the public sector lender from its PCA (Prompt Corrective Action) framework citing improvement in its financial and credit profile. Shares of SBI Life tumbled 4 per cent to Rs 1173 on the BSE after the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) offloaded 2 per cent stake in the life insurance company via open market today. In other news, the Finance Ministry said that economic recovery, which was impacted during the second wave, will see faster revival in the next three quarters of the current financial year, even if the third wave hits the country. It said that this confidence is mainly due to a rapid surge in the inoculation drive and a rebound in leading macroeconomic indicators. Now, going into trade next week, investors are first and foremost likely to react to the industrial output for the month of July that will be out on Friday. They will also keenly track the inflation data for August due next week. According to Vinod Nair of Geojit Financial Services, the retail inflation is expected to remain high in line with the July inflation rate of 5.59 per cent while wholesale inflation is expected to ease from the previous level of 11.16 per cent. Further, Street will assess ECB meet outcome to gauge future tapering plans. Two new companies will also list on the bourses next week, namely Ami Organics and Vijaya Diagnostic. Ami Organics IPO had garnered over 64 times subscription and was commanding a strong premium in the grey markets. Meanwhile, Vijaya Diagnostic received a little over 4 times bids and consequently a tepid demand in the unlisted space. Lastly, oil price movement, stock-specific triggers and FII flows will continue to sway market trajectory. Analysts say while the overall bullish mood is likely to stay on the Street, profit-taking in overpriced stock counters is likely. Hence they suggest investors must continue to invest in fundamentally strong stocks for the long term.  

In the absence of any major domestic trigger, the markets will dance to the tunes of global peers in this holiday-shortened week. Equity markets would remain closed on Thursday, August 19 for Muharram. Analysts say the market is expected to remain bullish in the long term while the possibility of a short correction in the near term cannot be ruled out.  The June quarter earnings season is largely over, except for a handful of small firms slated to post their numbers. And on the macroeconomic front, the WPI data will be released on August 16. But since the retail inflation eased in June, the wholesale price inflation data is also expected to cool down from June's level of 12.07 per cent. Analysts believe markets are likely to consider it as a non-event. Further, four companies will list on bourses on Monday, namely Devyani International, Windlas Biotech, Krsnaa Diagnostics, and Exxaro Tiles. After a muted response to the IPOs of Chemplast Sanmar, Nuvoco Vistas and Aptus Value, investors are keenly eyeing how these firms perform on listing to understand if the euphoria among retail investors is easing. Oil price movement, FII flows and the rupee's trajectory versus the US dollar can further sway market moves. Lastly, focus will also remain on the US FOMC minutes due on Wednesday, August 18. And now, let's take a look at the trade setup for today. Benchmark indices eyed a tepid start to the day as the global trend was weak. Further stock-specific activity could be seen as Street reacts react to the quarterly numbers reported post market hours on Friday and on Saturday. At 7.30 am, SGX Nifty was down 32 points at 16,496. On the global market front, US equity futures and most Asian stocks slipped as the delta virus strain hampers economic reopening and as traders await key Chinese data that may signal slower growth. Japan's Topix index dropped 1.5 per cent, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index shed 0.4 per cent and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index lost 0.3 per cent. S&P500 futures were down 0.2 per cent. On the stock-specific front, Vodafone Idea shares will be in focus as the debt-ridden private telecom company posted a lower consolidated loss of Rs 7,319 crore for the first quarter ended on June 30, 2021, against Rs 25,460 crore loss in the same quarter a year ago. Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) net profit soared by nearly 800 per cent in the first quarter of the current fiscal after more than doubling of oil prices compensated for a fall in production. Net profit in April-June at Rs 4,335 crore was 772.2 per cent higher than Rs 497 crore in Q1 of previous fiscal. Future Retail on Saturday reported widening of its consolidated net loss at Rs 1,147.28 crore for June quarter 2021-22, impacted by the second wave of the pandemic. The company had posted a net loss of Rs 552.91 crore for April-June period a year ago. State-run SJVN announced that it has bagged 200 MW grid connected solar PV power project worth Rs 1,000 crore in Bihar. RattanIndia Power reported widening of its consolidated net loss to Rs 824.42 crore for the June quarter. It had logged a consolidated net loss of Rs 450.78 crore in the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Tracking sombre Asian peers, Indian markets eye a subdued start to the day although promising inflation and industrial production data could help cap losses. India's industrial production grew 13.6 per cent in June mainly on account of ease in lockdowns and a favourable base. Further, after staying above the 6 per cent mark for two months, the CPI inflation for July cooled off to 3-month low level of 5.59 per cent. A fall in inflation and recovery in IIP will help the RBI to continue with its 'Accommodative 'and easy monetary policy, opined analysts. Further stock-specific activity will remain high amid the ongoing earnings season, also directing market moves. Now, on the global market front, Dow and S&P 500 jumped to record closes for a third straight day on Thursday, with mega-cap technology stocks driving the market higher as investors warmed to jobs data showing a steady U.S. economic recovery. Overall, Dow Jones rose 0.04 per cent, the S&P 500 gained 0.30 per cent and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.35 per cent. Asian shares wavered Friday as the spread of the delta Covid-19 variant and China's regulatory curbs restrained sentiment despite another record high close on Wall Street. Japan's Nikkei was flat, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index added 0.5 per cent, South Korea's Kospi fell 1.6 per cent and Hang Seng 0.7 per cent. Amid this backdrop, SGX Nifty was trading 12 points down at 16,368 around 7.40 am. Now, a look at stock-specific triggers that are likely to sway the market today. Burger King India, DHFL, Future Consumer, Grasim Industries, Hindustan Aeronautics, ONGC, and SpiceJet are some of the names slated to report their results today, while Easy Trip Planners, Future Retail, and Vodafone Idea are among over a hundred companies scheduled to report their first-quarter results on Saturday. Analysts' expectations are that most likely SpiceJet will report a net loss for the April-June quarter of FY22. All eyes are now on the airline's fundraising plans as well as growth in the cargo business during the Covid-hit period. Tata Steel on Thursday posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 9,768.34 crore for June quarter 2021-22. In the year-ago period, the company incurred a net loss of Rs 4,648.13 crore. The country's largest two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp on Thursday said its consolidated net profit surged over four-folds to Rs 256 crore for the first quarter ended June 30, riding on the back of robust sales during the period. Eicher Motors on Thursday reported a consolidated profit after tax of Rs 237 crore for the quarter ended June, riding on improved sales. The company had witnessed a loss of Rs 55 crore in the April-June period of 2020-21. The company also said Vinod Dasari, Royal Enfield CEO, is stepping down with effect from August 13. The company has appointed B Govindarajan as executive director to head the Royal Enfield business. CRISIL reaffirmed its rating on the commercial paper programme of Jubilant Food Works at CRISIL A1+.

In an ongoing tussle between the bulls and bears on Dalal Street, the bulls barely managed to have the upper hand in trade today. While the benchmark indices did end in the green, the selling pressure witnessed in the broader market and the weak market breadth clearly signalled underlying bearishness. Analysts too opined that unless the market breadth improves, we are unlikely to see any sharp upside for the index ahead. In a see-saw trade, the benchmarks after hitting fresh peaks in intra-day trade slipped into the red on profit booking but soon recovered as investors lapped up shares, again taking the indices higher. IT, private lender and telecom stocks were at the forefront of this rally. The 30-pack Sensex closed the day at 54,555, up 152 points or 0.28 per cent while the Nifty50 index settled 22 points or 0.13 per cent higher at 16,280. Sensex had touched a record high of 54,779.6 in trade while Nifty at 16,359. Airtel, Tech Mahindra, HDFC and Kotak Bank were the top gainers while Tata Steel, Power Grid, NTPC and ITC were the worst laggards. Broader markets bled as the BSE Midcap and BSE Smallcap indices shed 0.85 per cent and 2.05 per cent, respectively. According to analysts, buying interest has shifted to large caps. And a possible third wave of Covid and fall in liquidity can be lethal for the highly-priced mid & small caps. On the sectoral front too, the majority of indices ended in the red, led by Nifty Metals and Nifty PSU Bank. Nifty IT, on the other hand, was the best performer with a gain of nearly 1 per cent. The index also hit a new high in trade today. Nifty Financial Services and Nifty Bank were the only other sectoral gainers. In stock-specific development, shares of Future Retail staged a smart rebound after two-days of heavy selling amid reports that Amazon has drawn up blueprint to bailout for cash-strapped company. The stock recovered 18 per cent from day's low to end at Rs 50.70 on the NSE. Coal India reported a 52.5 per cent YoY rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 3,174 crore for the quarter ending June 30, 2021. Its revenues jumped 37 per cent to Rs 25,282 crore. But the stock ended marginally lower at Rs 142. Zomato tanked over 4 per cent ahead of its quarterly earnings to end the day at Rs 125 per share. Airtel stock meanwhile rose 4 per cent to Rs 622 on strong growth expectations.  According to analysts, Bharti Airtel has a clear advantage to further gain high-quality subscribers in both pre-paid and post-paid categories, considering Vodafone Idea's weak financial position. The stock had hit a new high of Rs 628 in trade. In last three weeks it has added nearly 20 per cent. On the primary market front, all the four running IPOs failed to entice investors. Aptus Value and Chemplast Sanmar opened for subscription today and garnered only 20 per cent and 14 per cent subscriptions, respectively. While analysts liked Aptus' strong financials, they believe the company's valuations left little room for upside. Overall they suggested subscribing from a long term perspective. As for Chemplast Sanmar, analysts said subscribe for listing gains only as the company is available at a discount to peers but its financial condition weighs on its prospects. CarTrade Tech looked set to sail through on Day 2 as the issue garnered nearly 94 per cent bids at the time of writing this report. Nuvoco Vistas although received a tepid response with only 24 per cent bids. Both issues close for subscription tomorrow. Going into trade on Wednesday, the focus will remain on the activity in primary markets with four IPOs running. While stock-specific activity would also remain high amid the ongoing earnings season. Nearly 300 companies are slated to post their earnings tomorrow, including Bata India, Cadila Healthcare, Endurance Tech, New India Assurance and Pidilite. On the global front, all eyes will be on the US CPI inflation for further indications of when the world's largest

In a session marked by high volatility, the benchmark indices meandered between gains and losses to finally settle the day in the green, helped by gains in IT stocks and private lenders. However, broad-based selling was visible as the broader markets posted hefty losses and the advance-decline ratio favoured sellers. Overall, the BSE Sensex added 125 points or 0.23 per cent to end at 54,403. Meanwhile, Nifty50 ended the day at 16,258, down 20 points or 0.12 per cent. In the 30-pack index, 16 ended in the green and 14 in the red. M&M, Axis Bank, Tech Mahindra and Bajaj Finserv were the top gainers while Bharti Airtel, Tata Steel, NTPC and L&T were the worst laggards. The broader markets lagged benchmark. The BSE Smallcap slid 0.72 per cent while BSE Midcap lost 1.07 per cent. Sectorally, Nifty Metal and PSU Bank indices witnessed hefty losses. Nifty Media, on the other hand, rallied the most led by gains in multiplex stocks on reopening trade. On the stock-specific front, shares of Rolex Rings slid off the listing price to end over 6 per cent down on both BSE and NSE. The scrip had listed at a premium of 39 per cent at Rs 1,250 over the issue price of Rs 900 per share but witnessed profit taking later. Shares of Piramal Enterprises meanwhile hit over two-year high at Rs 2,856.80 following a strong performance in the June quarter.  The company reported consolidated profit after tax of Rs 534 crore, up 8 per cent year on year (YoY), despite consolidated revenues coming in flat at Rs 2,909 crore YoY. The scrip finally settled the day at Rs 2,806, up 5.3 per cent. MRF stock ended over 1 per cent higher at Rs 80,013.90 per share after posting over a 12-fold increase in its consolidated net profit at Rs 166 crore for the first quarter ended June 30. The company had reported a net profit of Rs 13 crore in the April-June quarter of last fiscal. Shares of Future Retail tanked another 10 per cent as the stock reeled under the impact of the Supreme Court ruling in favour of Amazon that stalled the company's Rs 24,000 crore deal with Reliance Retail. In the primary market, the trade was lacklustre even as two prominent IPOs opened for trade. Most analysts had assigned subscribe ratings to CarTrade Tech and Nuvoco Vistas but they garnered only 34 per cent and 14 per cent subscription, respectively so far on Day 1. In the commodity market, gold and silver prices came under pressure, tracking global selloff, with the yellow metal sliding to four-month low. On MCX, gold futures fell 1 per cent to Rs 46,149 per 10 gram while silver shed 2 per cent to Rs 63,721 per kg. A better than expected US jobs data bolstered US dollar and expectations for early tapering of economic support, diminishing gold's sheen. In other news, equity mutual funds witnessed a staggering net inflow of Rs 22,583 crore in July, making it the fifth consecutive monthly infusion, with flexi-cap category accounting for most of the inflow. This was much higher than a net inflow of Rs 5,988 crore seen in June, data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India showed on Monday. The inflow pushed assets under management (AUM) of the mutual fund industry to an all time high of Rs 35.32 lakh crore in July-end from Rs 33.67 lakh crore in June-end. Now, going into trade on Tuesday, the action in the commodity market will remain in focus. Further, primary market action will also be watched out for as two new IPOs -- Aptus Value Housing Finance and Chemplast Sanmar -- will open for subscription. Lastly, earnings and management commentary for the June quarter earnings willl continue to hog limelight. Over 250 companies are slated to post their results on Tuesday, including Zomato, Motherson Sumi Systems, KIMS, Deepak Fertilisers, CAMS, and Heranba Industries.  

A historic week for the benchmark indices came to an anti-climactic end as Reliance Industries single-handedly knocked benchmark Sensex and Nifty off their all-time high levels. A Supreme Court order in favour of Amazon stalled Reliance Retail's Rs 24,000 crore deal with Future Retail, pushing RIL 2 per cent lower. Further, while RBI along expected lines kept the repo rate unchanged at 4 per cent in the August policy outcome and reiterated its intent to focus on growth, investors could not ignore some concerns on the inflation front. The 5:1 vote on maintaining accommodative stance and rise in CPI projection for FY22 to 5.7 per cent from 5.1 per cent earlier indicated that debate on inflation is gaining centre stage. The domestic benchmark indices snapped their four-session winning run. The 30-pack Sensex closed the day at 54,278, down 215 points or 0.39 per cent. Meanwhile, NSE Nifty settled the day 56 points or 0.35 per cent at 16,238. Overall, for the five days ended Friday, Nifty ended the week above the 16,000 mark for the first time, up 2 per cent, and also snapped its two-week losing run. IndusInd Bank, Tech Mahindra, Bharti Airtel, Maruti were the top gainers in the 30-pack Sensex while Reliance Industries, Ultratech Cement, Tata Steel, HCL Tech were the top losers.   The broader markets outperformed, with the Nifty Midcap index rising 0.06 per cent and the Nifty Smallcap 0.04 per cent. Sectorally, Nifty Realty and Nifty Media were the top losers while Nifty IT was the best performer. In stock-specific action, shares of Vodafone Idea rallied 20 per cent, bouncing off 57 per cent from its 52-week low level hit on Thursday after the government introduced a Bill in Parliament to nullify the provision of retrospective tax in the Income Tax Act. On the other hand, shares of Future Group companies fell like a deck of cards. All five group stocks ended 9 per cent down following the apex court order that allowed the appeal filed by Amazon against a Delhi High Court order staying attachment of properties of Future Group companies and Kishore Biyani in relation to the Reliance deal. M&M shares ended the day marginally lower at Rs 758.40 per share reported a consolidated net loss after tax from continuing and discontinued operations at Rs 331.74 crore in the first quarter ended June 30 as against Rs 54.64 crore in the first quarter last fiscal. Glenmark Life Sciences shares kicked off its debut day on a quiet note as it listed at 4 per cent premium at Rs 751 per share on BSE against the issue price of Rs 720 per share. Later, the scrip declined a bit more to end the day at Rs 748.20. Meanwhile, in the primary market, the IPO by Devyani International gathered the maximum response by the end of Day 3 as it was subscribed 116 times while that of Krsnaa Diagnostics garnered 64 times bids. Windlas Biotech and Exxaro Tiles, meanwhile, received 22 times subscription. Now, going into trade next week, macro data, quarterly earnings and global cues will be key triggers. On the economic front, Industrial production for June and July retail inflation are slated to be out on Thursday, August 12.  Meanwhile, it will be an earnings heavy week, with Coal India, Tata Steel, Eicher Motors, IRCTC, ONGC, Zomato, India Cements, HEG, IDFC, AstraZeneca, Chemcon, Indian Hotels, Jet Airways, MRF, CAMS, Deepak Fertilisers, Heranba, Jindal Steel, Siemens, Trent, Bharat Forge, HUDCO, IndoStar, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, NMDC and Oil India among hundreds of firm slated to post their numbers for June quarter next week. Lastly, three new IPOs will open for subscription next week. Car Trade IPO will open on August 9 while Chemplast Sanmar and Aptus Value Housing Finance will launch their IPOs on August 10. Lastly, shares of Rolex Rings will list on bourses on Monday.

US Federal Reserve's reassurance that more economic progress is needed to kick off tapering of stimulus helped Asian markets heave a sigh of relief. At a news conference, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said it was not yet time to think about raising interest rates, and that while the Fed has begun discussing plans to taper its bond purchases, the exact timing will depend on incoming data. Following this, US markets ended listless with S&P500 flat, Nasdaq up 0.7 per cent and Dow Jones down 0.3 per cent. Although in Asia, Japan's Topix index, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 and South Korea's Kospi rose 0.3 per cent each. Efforts by China to restore market calm also helped sentiment. State-run media have published articles suggesting the rout is overdone, while analysts have speculated about intervention by government-linked funds, a Bloomberg report said. This pushed Hong Kong's Hang Seng 1.7 per cent up. Apart from the global market action, the earnings announcement from key Nifty majors and monthly derivatives expiry would keep the participants busy. Amid this, SGX Nifty traded down 15 points at 15,691. With two initial public offers (IPOs) running, activity remains high in the primary market. Rolex Rings IPO was fully subscribed within hours of opening on Wednesday and closed the trade with 3.84 times subscription.

Nestle India reported a 10.7 per cent YoY growth in its profit after tax for the April-June quarter. Its net sales for the quarter surged by 13.8 per cent YoY to Rs 3,462.4 crore from Rs 3,042 crore. Happiest Minds Technologies reported a nearly 29 per cent decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 35.73 crore in the June 2021 quarter as against a net profit of Rs 50.18 crore in the year-ago period. Its revenue, however, grew 41.4 per cent YoY at Rs 331.52 crore. ABB India posted a four-fold jump in its net profit to Rs 68 crore in the June quarter compared to the year-ago period mainly due to higher revenues.

US Federal Reserve's assurance that tapering of the stimulus was some time away and with the Chinese government in damage control mode, strength returned to bourses globally and consequently back home. The US Fed chair Jerome Powell overnight said the central bank wishes to see "some strong job numbers" in the coming months before tapering the bond-buying programme. Meanwhile, in China authorities stepped up efforts to calm frayed investor nerves after a market rout. Against this backdrop, investors flounced back to Street to lap up equities. Sensex ended at 52,653, up 209 points or 0.40 per cent and the NSE Nifty closed the expiry day at 15,778, up 69 points or 0.44 per cent. Tata Steel, Bajaj Finance, SBI and HCL Tech were the top gainers while Maruti Suzuki was the worst performer, down 2 per cent, following its Q1 results.

Europe started upbeat, with the Stoxx Europe 600 up 0.3 per cent and futures on Wall Street also indicated at a firm US opening.

Three days of selling in markets awarded investors with enough opportunity to lap up stocks available at cheaper prices, resulting in a sharp recovery from day's low even as some caution ahead of the US Fed meet and weakness in global peers persisted. After plunging over 750 points in the intra-day session, the BSE Sensex recouped most of the losses and ended only 135 points or 0.26 per cent down at 52,444 while its NSE counterpart Nifty settled at 15,709, down 37 points or 0.24 per cent after over 200 points crash in intra-day.

Over 90 companies are slated to post their quarterly earnings on Thursday, including Tech Mahindra, TVS Motors, Future Retail, Lauras Labs, PVR, Raymond, Stove Kraft and Union Bank.

Equity markets consolidated near record high levels on Wednesday as investors awaited the outcome of the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy meeting, due later in the day. Moreover, a rally in crude oil price, which is hovering above $74 per barrel-mark, also had a bearing on the sentiment.

On the downside, shares of three Adani Group companies - Adani Power (Rs 127.25), Adani Transmission (Rs 1,369.35) and Adani Total Gas (Rs 1,394) – were locked in lower circuit for the third straight day, down 5 per cent each, on the BSE. Besides, Adani Enterprises and Adani Ports tanked up to 8 per cent each in intra-day trade. Moreover, shares of LIC Housing Finance tumbled 5.5 per cent to Rs 493 on the BSE in intra-day trade as investors booked profit after the company reported a good set of numbers for the March quarter (Q4FY21) on the operating and business growth front. However, a steep rise in provisions dented profitability. Lastly, shares of Reliance Industries ended 1.7 per cent lower on the BSE after a Bloomberg report said chairman Mukesh Ambani's plan to conquer the Indian market with a locally assembled Google-powered smartphone is facing headwinds, with supply-chain disruptions and rising component prices suppressing production volumes.

South Korea's Kospi and Australia's ASX200, on the other hand, gained 0.6 per cent and 0.01 per cent, respectively.

Marketplaces were among the big retail winners of the past year, and Farfetch was no exception. “We performed really well, as an overall company,” said Kelly Kowal, chief platform officer at Farfetch, on the latest episode of the Glossy Podcast. In its first-quarter earnings, released on May 13, Farfetch reported a 46% year-over-year revenue increase, to $485 million. “Nobody ever wants to capitalize off of a pandemic, but one thing that we were really excited about, and something that we really championed on the marketplace side, was keeping our boutique [partners]online and able to trade. And then on the platform side, we saw an increase in new clients and in new technology being adopted. We were really fortunate to be able to have both sides of our business firing on all cylinders.” And that's despite the fact that new competitors, including The Yes and Amazon's Luxury Stores, entered the market. What's more, some luxury brands remained hellbent on keeping to their own sales channels. “What we find sometimes is that customer demands are way ahead of what retailers can do,” Kowal said. “But we spend a lot of our time thinking about what we call ‘the now, the next and the future.' Keeping our eye on that has allowed us to scale at pace. Innovation is at the heart of our platform.” Focused on what's next is Sandrine Deveaux, Farfetch's evp of Future Retail, and her team. “We know only one out of 10 [new technologies] will work, and sometimes one out of 100,” she said. “But because we are a tech company and we can take those risks, and we have this investment in the backend to support our vision, we are the best place within the industry to [explore] them.” 

Sandrine Deveaux has always been at the vanguard of the digital retail revolution, having spotted the potential for luxury fashion to embrace technology to bridge the gap between the physical and the digital realms many years before it became a mainstream pursuit.Her career in luxury fashion began with Matchesfashion, helping to launch what was then an independent retailer into a global online force.  After that she moved to luxury department store Harvey Nichols before meeting founder of Farfetch, the great visionary Jose Neves.She joined Neves in his groundbreaking business which gives the world’s best fashion boutiques access to a global market through its platform.  Farfetch also works with leading luxury players, such as Chanel and its own boutique Browns, helping them to enhance the luxury shopping experience through the application of digital technology.As Executive Vice President of Future Retail at Farfetch, it is Sandrine’s job to head up this side of the business.Sandrine speaks to Lauretta Roberts, Editor in chief of TheIndustry.fashion about why luxury boomed during the pandemic, how consumer behaviour has changed for good, and why, despite being a digital retail trailblazer, she still believes in a bright future for physical retailers.

India added more than 3.3 lakh cases in the last 24 hours, making it the second consecutive day when it added over three lakh new cases and a new record for any country in the world.

Mr. Rajiv Sehgal had one big dream, to build a consumer brand. This is his story of how he built Jeeru with his kids. He came from humble beginnings, worked for a few years, and saved up his money to fund his vision.  He first started off in packaged drinking water but realised that the unorganised sector was filled with thousands of brands like his. Knowing he couldn't compete with the big three kinley, aquafina, and bisleri— he started thinking along the lines of, what value can be added to water? Mr. Sehgal started searching for a beverage that had no established brand leadership. He landed up on Jeera Masala. There were thousands of Jeera masala brands in the country but none of them had any national significance. Thus, Jeeru was born. Soon after, Anika joined the family businesses. Her job was to expand Jeeru's visibility in the market. She started a successful incentive programme for the sales team by providing daily grocery items such as rice and cooking oil. She is also the face behind Jeeru's strength in modern retail.  They didn't just want to push sales by offering margins, so they decided to innovate. They started selling Jeeru in cans and as people started noticing the product— distributors started paying attention. Within two years, Jeeru started contributing over 11 percent of beverage sales for Future Retail. From ₹10 crore in 2010-11, Xotik Frujus has grown to a revenue of ₹72.95 crore in 2019-20. Jeeru started out as being a Mumbai and Surat based brand but now it has a pan India presence. Even airports sell a premium version of Jeeru. In fact, the brand gets exported to the UK, Middle East, and Africa.After Anikta, her younger sister Vishaka followed suit and she manages general trade. Their brother Dishank has been the last to join and is focusing on diversifying the business by launching Xotic cafes. He was also instrumental in driving the brand's partnership with 82.5 communications. The family's dedication to Jeeru and the fact that we all love it is sending out a clear message— the story of Jeeru has many more chapters in store for us!

He then dives into the future of autonomous vehicles (29:35), robo-warehousing and the future of grocers using vertical farming to provide fresher produce (34:00).
