Target Plus Isn’t Like Other Marketplaces. Here’s How to Actually Succeed.
T
Target Plus is not like other marketplaces. You cannot sign up and start selling. There is no self-serve integration or onboarding. Target hand-selects the brands it works with, and the product data requirements are stricter than anything you will encounter on Amazon or Walmart. That exclusivity is exactly what makes it valuable. For the right brand in the right category, Target Plus is...
Demand Forecasting for Quick Commerce: Real-Time Planning That Actually Works for D2C
D
Quick commerce has fundamentally changed how customers buy everyday products in India. Platforms like Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart promise delivery in 10–20 minutes, which means inventory must already be available in nearby dark stores before a customer even places an order. For D2C brands selling through these platforms, this creates a very different operational reality. If a product goes out...

Industry data shows that over 70% of quick commerce orders are top-up purchases, meaning customers buy only a few items they need...
What is the Dark Store Model in India and How Do They Power 10-Minute Delivery for D2C Brands?
W
Fast delivery has changed how people shop online. A customer opens Zepto, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Flipkart Minutes, or Amazon Fresh, adds a few items, and the order arrives in about ten minutes. For a D2C brand, this speed directly affects product discovery and repeat purchases. But this speed is powered by a dense network of dark stores placed within 2–3 km of customers. Platforms like...
Do you actually need an Enterprise OMS in 2026?
D
If you run an ecommerce business doing meaningful volume across multiple channels, someone has probably told you that you need an Order Management System. They are right. What they might not have told you is that the OMS you actually need looks very different from what enterprise retailers and legacy software vendors have been selling for the last two decades. The honest answer in 2026: most...
