India: Retail demand is strong, but quick-commerce platforms are putting pressure on established grocery models.
Global shipping: Higher costs, changing routes and supply-chain uncertainty remain major issues for retailers moving goods around the world.
Fabletics: With more than $1 billion in net revenue, the digital-first brand is continuing to invest in physical stores and international expansion.
Five stories with one purpose:
