Eternal’s District app forays into fashion retail

New Delhi: In a move to diversify its revenue streams, District, a vertical owned by Zomato parent Eternal, has reportedly entered the fashion retail segment by listing clothing, accessories, and apparel on its mobile app, according to multiple media reports.

Originally launched as a platform focused on dining, events, and going-out experiences, District was later spun off into a distinct vertical and merged with Paytm Insider. Until now, it had primarily served as a ticketing and entertainment interface with no official indication of expanding into the e-commerce space.

The development comes shortly after Eternal reported a 70% rise in revenue to ₹7,167 crore (US $830 million) in Q1 FY26 from ₹4,206 crore (US $487 million) in the same period last year. However, its net profit dropped by 90% to ₹25 crore (US $2.89 million), largely due to ongoing investments in its quick commerce vertical Blinkit and B2B supply platform Hyperpure.

Despite strong revenue momentum, adjusted EBITDA fell 42% YoY to ₹172 crore (US $19.92 million), which CFO Akshant Goyal attributed to increased spending on rapid-growth verticals and experiential services.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
