6. India
Ranking basis: India has no uniformly audited GMV series — by FY2025 GMV/share estimates (ICICI Securities: share and users; CLSA: Meesho; company financials). Quick commerce is included in the Top 5: Zepto annualized GOV (~$4B) and Blinkit GOV (≈ Zomato food delivery) already exceed Nykaa GMV; Myntra is folded into Flipkart Group to avoid double-counting. Note: q-comm uses GOV (including non-merchandise categories), which is not fully comparable with marketplace GMV, and is treated as a separate high-growth category. India e-retail 2025 about $65B (WPP/MediaCom).
