Jignanshu Gor believes DMart doesn't need to join Q-commerce rush. Here's why
Amid rising competitive intensity from quick commerce (Q-commerce) platforms, Avenue Supermarts, the parent company of DMart, is not likely to join the rapid delivery race but is instead expected to sharpen its focus on delivery timelines, assortment depth, and overall value proposition. ADVERTISEMENT In an interaction with ET Now, Jignanshu Gor of Bernstein India addressed the longstanding thesis around DMart's vulnerability to Q-commerce rivals and outlined how the retailer may respond. Gor, whose research house tracks both Avenue and Q-commerce trends, noted that while investor concerns about the overlap between DMart's customer base and quick commerce users have persisted for months, this overlap might be overstated. Addressing the possibility of DMart entering the Q-commerce space directly, Gor stated, 'Will they join them? I do not think so.' Instead, he pointed out that 'they have been working at it for the last nine months, but I do not think they should even plan to join it.' According to him, DMart is more likely to strengthen its delivery capabilities and expand its product assortment, supported by greater investment that one can see in DMart this year or DMart Ready. Gor stated that while Q-commerce will continue to evolve, 'I do not think the entire grocery retailing in India is going to shift online and if it does not shift online, then DMart is one of the two large big box retailers left and arguably given margin profile, etc., the better run retailer as well.'

'There is a reason why we think that when it comes to pure FMCG or grocery items, a big box retailer is able to provide value, which quick commerce will find it difficult to do on a sustainable basis,' he said. ADVERTISEMENT He acknowledged that the thesis around competition from Q-commerce has been oscillating in the last six months, particularly after DMart's Q2 numbers, which were interpreted by some as indicating pressure from rapid delivery Gor stressed that 'DMart can and will compete better on offering value to customers and offering choice to customers, so that overlap should get over and they will be able to survive or thrive in quick commerce.'

Trump admin breaking modern presidential staffing records, hiring 'thousands of America First warriors'
The Trump administration is breaking all modern presidential staffing records since taking office in January, bringing in "thousands of America First warriors" to fight for President Donald Trump's agenda, the head of presidential personnel told Fox News Digital. "My Administration is breaking all modern Presidential Staffing Records since taking Office on January 20th," Trump posted Friday on his Truth Social. "The Presidential Personnel Office has made over 2,200 offers, all accepted, to exceptionally qualified Candidates, who are helping us MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN." Trump Orders Cabinet Secretaries To Work With Doge On Staffing, Use A 'Scalpel' On Personnel Decisions Trump added, "We have sent more Nominations to the Senate than anyone ever before, and will continue to hire America First Patriots as we work together to unleash our Nation's, Golden Age!" The Trump administration has sent more nominations to the Senate by Trump's 65th day in office, 277 and counting, than the previous record-holder, former President Barack Obama, sent by his 150th day in office, Sergio Gor, the director of the Presidential Personnel Office, told Fox News Digital. Trump officials have made more than 2,300 offers to "exceptionally qualified and aligned candidates across the Trump administration," Gor said. Read On The Fox News App Gor also said 1,800 appointees are already at work — and almost every agency is more than half-filled, with many over two-thirds full. "Every day we are focused on finding thousands of America First warriors to join this administration and fight for the agenda President Trump ran and won on," Gor told Fox News Digital. "We have made incredible, record-breaking progress by not only hiring the right people, but also keeping the Washington Swamp out of this administration." Gor added, "With President Trump's historic leadership, this is the team that will usher in the new Golden Age of America." Trump's Cabinet was confirmed in record time, with officials noting that none of his Cabinet-level nominees failed in committee or on the Senate floor for confirmation. Musk Tells Cabinet That Doge Email Was 'Pulse Check' For Workers, Warns Us Will 'Go Bankrupt' Without Action On day 67 of the Trump administration, 41 total Trump nominees have been confirmed, including 21 of the 22 Cabinet level positions and 20 sub-Cabinet positions. By comparison, on the 67th day of the Biden administration, 13 Cabinet-level nominees had been confirmed. By Friday, March 28, a total of 238 Trump administration nominations had been sent to the Senate. By March 28, 2021, 150 Biden nominees had been sent to the Senate for confirmation. Officials say that they have not only maximized the speed of their personnel selection process, but are also recruiting "the most talented bench of nominees in Republican presidential history." The record-breaking hiring comes while the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, is also shrinking the size of the federal workforce, to slash government spending and eliminate bureaucrats working against the Trump agenda. Earlier in March, the president directed his Cabinet secretaries to work with DOGE and to use a "scalpel" when deciding which workers will remain in their jobs. Elon Musk, Doge Team Offer Unprecedented Peek Behind The Curtain Of Trump's Cost-cutting Department "As the Secretaries learn about, and understand, the people working for the various Departments, they can be very precise as to who will remain, and who will go. We say the 'scalpel' rather than the 'hatchet,'" Trump posted on Truth Social in early March. However, the Trump administration is touting the "incredible America First slate of candidates" that have been confirmed to their posts, pointing specifically to FBI Director Kash Patel, who officials say is a "fierce advocate for American law enforcement and a critic of Washington corruption," border czar Tom Homan, whom officials call "the most respected immigration law enforcement official in modern history" and National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya, whom officials call a "widely respected physician and healthcare reformer." "Just as important as hiring the right people is keeping the wrong people out of this administration," a personnel official told Fox News Digital. "With the mandate President Trump has given this Presidential Personnel Office we are only hiring aligned and capable supporters of the president and his agenda in these critical roles."Original article source: Trump admin breaking modern presidential staffing records, hiring 'thousands of America First warriors'
