Consider: What does this development mean for businesses or customers in ecommerce and marketplaces?
Ecommerce platforms and brands reported weaker-than-expected festive sales activity during the opening days of major Indian sale events, with dispatches down about 10–12% year-on-year and GMV lower than a year earlier.

Consider: How are you adjusting inventory, pricing and promotional plans to respond if premium electronics continue to underperform during major sale events?
