  • From beauty to fashion, consumer startups are seeking easy debt to expand inventory and facilitate marketing for quick commerce.

The article from LiveMint discusses the surge in demand for quick commerce platforms like Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, and Zepto, which has led to a significant increase in the need for working capital among direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands in the beauty and fashion sectors.

The article highlights how this shift is not only supporting the growth of D2C brands but also reshaping the financial landscape for startups in India, making it easier for them to manage inventory and scale operations in response to the rapid delivery demands of the market.
