India's 2026 Festive Ecommerce Season Begins with Strong User Growth
India's 2026 festive ecommerce season has started strongly, with Flipkart reporting a new high in daily active users during its Big Billion Days sale. Non-metro shoppers and first-time users drove demand, accounting for about 60% of Flipkart's activity. Myntra remains the largest fashion platform with increased user engagement, while Nykaa leads in beauty and personal care. Quick commerce and food delivery platforms showed structural growth but limited festive uplift. Retail credit also supported demand across platforms, according to a BofA report based on Sensor Tower data.
