Paytm India’s ecommerce arm Paytm Mall, is planning to invest $ 35 million in its technology and logistics infrastructure to strengthen their logistics network. The company will also be adding more product offerings to further strengthen its position in the market ahead of the crucial festive season.

Amit Sinha, the COO of Paytm Mall said they are investing in technology and infrastructure expansion of their logistics network to make sure there is a seamless process for a consumer to place an order and receive deliveries in a day. “This is being rolled out in about 25 cities but plans are afoot to quickly take it to other pin codes,” he added. The Alibaba backed company also said it plans to cut down on its delivery timelines for partner merchants and has partnered with three large logistics players Delhivery, Blue Dart and Xpressbees along with specialized local couriers such as Shadowfax and Book a Wheel to expand its delivery reach.

The company is also partnering with local delivery players in a bid to ensure same day and next day deliveries and expand the delivery reach to about 17,000 pin codes. The company recently delisted 50% of their logistics partners and 30 courier aggregation centers in an attempt to revamp their seller on boarding process. 

The ecommerce arm of Paytm Mall was launched in 2017 and competes against giants like Flipkart and Amazon.  The platform also seeks to go deeper into smaller cities and scale up their partner network with 3000 new agents to compete against Amazon, who recently passed a special resolution to infuse over Rs. 400 crores in their logistics arm in the wake of festive season sales.

In June, the ecommerce arm Paytm ECommerce Pvt., Ltd., raised $200 million in a funding round from Alibaba and venture capital firm SAIF Partners. The company also announced to invest $ 5 million in their Shopkeeper Inclusion Programme to address the needs of its partners.

New Instagram Features Let Users Customize Profiles and Share Quietly

Instagram Grid

Instagram is rolling out two major features in June 2025 that promise to give users unprecedented creative control and privacy: grid rearranging and silent posting. The long-awaited grid rearranging tool allows users to freely drag and drop posts anywhere on their profile grid, breaking away from the traditional chronological order. This means users can now curate their profiles for a more visually appealing or thematic presentation, without the hassle of deleting and reposting content—an update especially welcomed by brands, creators, and anyone meticulous about their digital aesthetic.


In tandem, Instagram is introducing the “Post quietly to profile” feature, which lets users add photos and videos to their grid without notifying followers or pushing the content to their feeds. This silent posting option is ideal for those who want to document moments privately, experiment with new content, or maintain a cohesive grid without spamming their audience. It’s designed to reduce the pressure of public sharing, making Instagram a more comfortable space for personal expression and experimentation.

 

These updates reflect Instagram’s commitment to user empowerment and flexibility, responding directly to years of feedback. As Instagram head Adam Mosseri stated, the goal is to help users “create and share without added pressure,” giving them more freedom over how their content appears and how they engage with their audience.
