How we build these trackers
Each tracker is compiled from company announcements, regulatory filings and news reports on Indian retail, ecommerce, quick commerce and consumer brands. Our system records only events a source states as new, checks in code that every company, person and figure appears in that source, and keeps the source on file for verification. Brands can confirm or correct any entry through our For brands page. Amounts and numbers are shown as reported, never estimated. Spotted a mistake? Email editor@example.com with a public source.
