Amazon India, led by country manager Samir Kumar, is aggressively pursuing the top position in the quick commerce sector, aiming to expand its Amazon Now service to over 100 cities and more than 1,000 dark stores. Kumar emphasized that Amazon is committed to winning in this space, despite entering later than competitors. The company is banking on its extensive Prime subscriber base to drive growth, with a focus on maintaining competitive pricing and selection. In a separate development, Tarun Davda, managing director of Z47 (formerly Matrix Partners India), is set to leave the firm by the end of 2026, adding to a series of senior exits in the venture capital industry. This follows a trend of leadership changes at Z47, which has seen other executives depart in recent months. Additionally, Curefoods has postponed its IPO plans, initially aimed at raising ₹800 crore, due to market volatility and investor concerns over valuations. The rupee's decline has also prompted Indian students abroad to seek additional loans, as the gap between sanctioned amounts and actual expenses widens.
