Myntra launches quick commerce service in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai: How it is different from Blinkit, Zepto and others
Myntra
has rolled out its "M-Now"
30-minute delivery service
to Delhi-NCR and Mumbai, following a successful pilot in Bengaluru, a report has said. Unlike Blinkit, Zepto and other food-related quick commerce platforms, M-Now will specifically focus on delivering clothes, including from premium brands, in 30-minutes. Notably, Blinkit and Zepto also deliver some basic apparels such as tees and shorts.
The M-Now service, first trialed in Bengaluru last December with around 10,000 SKUs, now offers collections from nearly 600 brands. Customers in the expanded zones can now get rapid delivery on items from popular names like Vero Moda, Mango, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi's and even luxury beauty and accessory brands such as Dyson, YSL, Prada, Carolina Herrera, and Huda Beauty, as per a report by The Economic Times.
Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha had previously indicated the company's plans to bring the service to Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune. She noted a "significant demand from fashion-first and trend-focused premium customers for quick deliveries."

Myntra's move is part of a larger trend in India's e-commerce landscape, where fashion platforms like Ajio and Nykaa, along with new-age brands such as Newme, Slikk and Blip, are all exploring ultra-fast delivery. This momentum was initially sparked by quick commerce pioneers like Blinkit, Instamart, and Zepto, who expanded beyond groceries to include fashion and apparel from brands like Jockey, Manyavar, Puma, and Adidas.
The report also pointed out the challenges, saying that one key hurdle is customer behaviour. As per as Snitch founder Siddharth Dungarwal, while initial interest in fast delivery is high, shoppers often revert to purchasing only basic wardrobe essentials like black t-shirts or shirts through these services.

Reducing acute dependence, countering China's near monopoly: India readies Rs 5,000 crore scheme for rare earth minerals
The incentives in India's proposed programme will be distributed through a reverse bidding mechanism. (AI image) India is readying a plan to reduce its acute dependence on China for rare earth minerals. The move comes at a time when China has imposed export curbs on rare earths and Indian industry has raised alarm bells on shortage of magnets and other components. India is looking at a Rs 3,500-Rs 5,000 crore scheme to promote the production of rare earth minerals and derived magnets domestically, with approval expected within two weeks, according to a senior government official. "The priority is to start domestic-critical mineral production in the shortest time period," the official told ET. China dominates global supply of rare earth magnets and has implemented export restrictions. These essential minerals, vital for manufacturing automobiles, electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy infrastructure, face supply constraints. The incentives in India's proposed programme will be distributed through a reverse bidding mechanism. This initiative follows an internal ministerial assessment that highlighted the necessity to diversify supply sources, given the substantial reliance on imports from China.

India's Rare Earth Requirements The automotive sector has highlighted concerns about Chinese restrictions and requested governmental assistance. In April, Beijing introduced mandatory special export licences for seven rare earth elements and associated magnets. In India, manufacturers of EVs and wind turbines represent the primary consumers of rare earth elements, accounting for more than 50% of the projected domestic demand of 4010 metric tonnes in 2025. The overall requirement is anticipated to reach 8220 metric tonnes by 2030.

Beyond regulatory adjustments, the Centre anticipates limited but commercially viable domestic production of rare earth permanent magnets to commence later this year. Financial support has been allocated to Midwest Advanced Materials Private Ltd, Hyderabad, by the ministry of science and technology.

Future of work: Human potential in the age of AI
When Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, warned in 2023 that AI could 'cause significant harm to the world,' it wasn't just a philosophical musing—it was a call for deep introspection. Almost overnight, terms like 'AI job displacement' and 'future-proof careers' dominated search trends and seminar halls. But what lies beneath this growing concern is a deeper human question: What can we do that machines can't? As you step out today—whether as a graduate, a professional, or a citizen—ask not what AI can do, but what you must become. We don't need to compete with machines. We need to complete what machines cannot. (Getty Images/iStockphoto) The answer may lie not in the circuits of AI but in the soul of humanity. As we find ourselves surrounded by intelligent algorithms and automation tools, we must ask not only 'Will AI take our jobs?' but also 'What makes us irreplaceable?' From meditation hubs in IITs to mindfulness circles in business schools, there's a quiet but powerful shift happening. It's the realisation that intuition, inner clarity, and human connection are the true future skills—skills no machine can replicate. Steve Jobs once said, 'Intuition is more powerful than intellect.' That wasn't a rejection of intelligence but a call to nurture the unique human faculty that sees beyond logic, that feels truth before it is proven. In today's saturated, hyper-analytical world, the ability to listen to our inner compass might just be our most vital edge. But intuition is not magic. It is a discipline. We develop it through reflection, where we pause to examine the outcomes of our decisions. We refine it by learning from mistakes, recognising that every error is a teacher. We cultivate it by being mindful of biases—our emotional baggage, assumptions, and cultural patterns. And when in doubt, we must use logic as a safeguard—because wisdom lies not in choosing intuition over intellect, but in balancing the two. Inner balance, then, is no longer a luxury; it is the career armour of the 21st century. Companies are now recommending meditation and mindfulness not just for wellness, but to maintain clarity in chaos. This quiet clarity, this ability to stay centered when the world spins fast, will be the defining skill of tomorrow's leaders. But this balance is not just for career survival. It's for life. In our rush to stay ahead, let's not forget to minimise our mistakes—in thought, word, or deed. Each mistake is a karmic debt, and while technology may forgive errors in code, the human soul is governed by subtler rules. The path to a meaningful life starts with responsibility: to ourselves, our families, and our society. Take your family, for instance. In an era where AI may take over tasks, it will never replace relationships. Be loyal, honest, and generous with your loved ones—especially the elders and parents who shaped you. As shared households become common again, let's not forget the wisdom of care, compassion, and coexistence. The same responsibility extends to your choices in partnership. Loyalty, honesty, and caring must be the cornerstone of your personal life—because shared success is always more sustainable than solo ambition. Then there is your relationship with money. The noise of consumerism may push you to overspend, overcommit, and show off—but remember, financial discipline is spiritual discipline. Take care of your money, however little or much it may be. Spend wisely. Save with purpose. Let your earnings reflect your values, not your vanity. And above all, do not take your health for granted. No machine can fix a broken body the way a mindful life can prevent one. Physical vitality and emotional resilience are your greatest capital in the long game of life. The real revolution we face is not technological—it is human. In a world obsessed with building smarter machines, let us remember to become better humans. This includes acknowledging our errors—whether in boardrooms, relationships, or public systems. As investigations into past failures—be it in aviation or administration—show us, the problem is often not technology, but human misjudgment. If we are to avoid repeating such tragedies, we must ask: Are we learning from our mistakes? Are we becoming wiser, not just more efficient? The movie Her, where a man falls in love with an AI voice, was not science fiction—it was a forecast. It showed us a world where loneliness grows even as connectivity peaks. As we integrate AI into every aspect of our lives, let us not outsource our humanity. The machines will always be better at speed, storage, and scalability. But we are better at meaning, morality, and mindfulness. Our intuition, our empathy, our ability to forgive, to grow, to love—these are the true frontiers of the human spirit. So as you step out today—whether as a graduate, a professional, or a citizen—ask not what AI can do, but what you must become. We don't need to compete with machines. We need to complete what machines cannot. Let this be your lifelong compass: Sharpen your intuition. Cultivate inner balance. Minimise karmic debt. Honour your relationships. Guard your finances. Treasure your health. And above all, keep discovering your own infinite potential. That is how we thrive—not in spite of AI, but because we chose to remain fully human in its presence.

Gas blowout at ONGC's Assam well under control: Flow drops sharply, US experts back containment plan
NEW DELHI: State-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation ( ONGC ) on Saturday said it had made significant progress in its efforts to contain the gas blowout at well RDS#147A in Assam's Rudrasagar oilfield, with the flow rate of natural gas having reduced substantially. The blowout — or uncontrolled gas flow — occurred on June 12 at a well operated by private contractor S K Petro Services in Barichuk, Sivasagar district. 'ONGC has made significant headway in its well control operations at RDS#147A, with the flow rate of gas having reduced substantially, marking a critical step forward in containment efforts,' the company said in a statement, PTI reported. An international expert team from US-based CUDD Pressure Control arrived at the site on Friday and reviewed ONGC's containment strategy. According to the company, the experts expressed agreement with the steps taken and affirmed the effectiveness of ONGC's approach. While ONGC did not specify a timeline for bringing the well completely under control, it said site preparations were underway for the next phase of operations, which include removal of tubulars from the well and mobilisation of cranes to assist in clearing the rig floor. As part of safety measures, 24x7 water blanketing continues, and flood-level monitoring of the nearby Dikhow River is in progress to ensure environmental compliance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo 'ONGC is continuously monitoring the low explosive limit (LEL) levels of air around the well site through real-time gas detectors to ensure safety. Medical assistance is being provided at the relief camp to support all those in need,' the statement added. Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, in a LinkedIn post on Friday, said he was closely monitoring the operations. 'The Crisis Management Team headed by experienced blowout control specialists are on the job,' he wrote. He confirmed that nearby residents had been relocated to a relief camp, with food, security, and essential supplies arranged by local authorities. Water blanketing was being used as a key precaution to prevent fire, he said. Puri also noted that the composition of gas — mostly methane (97%) — was dispersing upward and not accumulating at ground level, thereby limiting the hazard. 'Air quality monitoring shows levels are within safe limits even at a 50-100 metre radius from the well,' the minister added. The wellhead pressure has dropped significantly — from 2,600 psi to 500 psi — a sign of falling gas intensity. 'We are trying to contain the situation through junk shot operation and will try pumping kill fluids today. If this does not suffice, capping of the well shall also be considered,' Puri said.
