Amazon, the global ecommerce company has been quietly trying to reduce losses to reach its target of getting on to a path to profitability by 2019. The Indian unit of the global ecommerce and cloud computing company will try to cut losses without sacrificing sales growth.

A news daily reported Amazon, which has been trying to achieve dominance in the Indian ecommerce market space, has been trying to reach its target of getting on to a path to profitability by 2019. According to sources close to the matter, Amazon came up with the ‘Get Fit’ initiative to cut packaging costs, introduce more automation in warehouses and deliver products more efficiently.

The initiative was announced around the time Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon committed an additional $3 billion towards expanding the Indian business in June 2016. This round of investment was in addition to the $ 2 billion investment Bezos had announced in July 2014. Get Fit along with the Get Big program are the two biggest initiatives at Amazon India which are about making the company the largest online retailer in the country.

The company also got the Indian Government’s approval to invest $ 500 million in the food retail sector in July. It was also reported last month, Amazon might partner with online grocery retail startup Grofers to get a toehold in the sector. Amazon India, till date has spent around $ 2 billion to gain the upper hand in the biggest unconquered Internet market in the world. But, Amazon India’s loss soared to Rs. 3,572 crores in the financial year 2016 while the company reported a revenue of Rs. 2,275 crores.

At present, Amazon is fighting against homegrown ecommerce giant Flipkart which is backed by Tiger Global and recently by SoftBank. According to sources, Amazon will match Flipkart’s efforts at all levels despite India being one of the biggest loss drivers in Amazon’s international business. An Amazon spokesperson said the company is committed to investing in India for a long period of time with the vision of transforming how India buys and sells.

Blissclub Raises INR 33 Crore in Fresh Funding Months After Layoffs

Published

Bliss_StartupStories

Blissclub, the women-centric D2C apparel brand, has raised INR 33 crore in a Pre-Series B funding round led by Elevation Capital, with Eight Roads Ventures also participating. This funding comes just three months after the company laid off 18% of its workforce-about 21 employees from creative, sales, marketing, growth, and product teams-due to high cash burn and challenges in securing new capital.

The latest investment was made through the allotment of 16,076 compulsory convertible preference shares (CCPS) at a premium of INR 20,428 each. Elevation Capital invested INR 19 crore, securing a 24.5% stake, while Eight Roads Ventures contributed INR 14 crore, raising its stake to 15.79%. The capital will be used for working capital, capital expenditure, and general corporate purposes.

Founded in 2020 by Minu Margeret, Blissclub started as an online activewear brand for women and has since diversified its product range and established offline stores. Despite recent restructuring, the company’s revenue grew 27% to INR 86.9 crore in FY24 from INR 68.3 crore in FY23, though net losses also increased to INR 43.9 crore.

Blissclub’s successful fundraising, despite recent layoffs, underscores both the ongoing challenges and the resilience of India’s D2C startup sector in a difficult funding environment.

Apple to Shift Entire US iPhone Assembly to India by 2026

Published

Apple - StartupStories

Apple is set to relocate all assembly of iPhones destined for the US market from China to India by the end of 2026, marking its biggest manufacturing shift in decades. The move is driven by escalating US-China trade tensions and steep tariffs—up to 145% on Chinese imports—making Chinese assembly increasingly costly for Apple. Although some smartphone imports are temporarily exempt, a 20% duty still applies to Chinese-made iPhones entering the US.

 

India, in contrast, offers a more favorable trade environment, with a paused 26% reciprocal tariff and ongoing negotiations for a bilateral trade deal with the US that could shield Indian exports from future levies. Apple plans to more than double its current iPhone output in India, aiming to assemble over 60 million units annually for the US market. The company already produces about 25% of its global iPhones in India, working with partners like Foxconn, Tata Electronics, and Pegatron.

 

This shift is part of Apple’s broader strategy to diversify its supply chain and reduce reliance on China amid geopolitical risks. However, the transition’s success will depend on how quickly India can scale up its manufacturing capabilities and the outcome of ongoing trade negotiations.

PhonePe’s PINCODE Launches 10-Minute Medicine Delivery in Cities

Published

PhonePe

PhonePe’s PINCODE app has launched a 24×7 online medicine delivery service in Bangalore, Mumbai, and Pune, promising delivery of both prescription and over-the-counter medicines within 10 minutes from nearby local medical shops. Unlike conventional e-pharmacies that use dark stores, PINCODE partners exclusively with neighborhood pharmacies, enabling faster deliveries and supporting local businesses in the digital economy.

Customers without prescriptions can select a “no prescription” option when ordering; a qualified doctor then provides a free teleconsultation and issues a digital prescription compliant with telemedicine guidelines, ensuring seamless access to medicines. The app offers competitive pricing by passing discounts from local pharmacies directly to customers and charges no delivery fees.

PINCODE’s hyperlocal model enhances healthcare accessibility and convenience while empowering local pharmacies, helping them remain integral to their communities and stimulating local economic growth. Launched in 2023, the app focuses on quick commerce with an emphasis on speed, reliability, and supporting local sellers.

In summary, PhonePe’s PINCODE app is transforming medicine delivery in major Indian cities by combining ultra-fast 10-minute delivery, free doctor consultations, and a hyperlocal sourcing model that benefits both consumers and neighborhood pharmacies.
