E-commerce firm Myntra's 22nd End of Reason Sale (EORS), which ended on 12 June, saw orders double versus business-as-usual (BAU) levels and reported a 1.3-times rise in new customers over the previous edition. More than half the orders came from non-metro areas, highlighting growing demand beyond major cities. Featuring over 4 million styles from more than 10,000 brands, the event ranked among the season's largest fashion, beauty and lifestyle sales.
'We're grateful to the millions of shoppers from across the country, from metros to smaller towns, who made this a truly memorable event,' said Bharath Kumar, Head of Revenue and Growth, Myntra.
Shoppers from Tier 2 and beyond played a crucial role in driving strong shopping sentiment, contributing nearly 60 per cent of the total orders placed. Cities such as Guwahati, Bhubaneswar, Jammu, Panipat, Jalandhar, Gorakhpur, Hisar, Mysore and Udaipur emerged as high-traction hubs, showcasing Myntra's growing reach in non-metros. Customers from these regions showed high demand for categories such as ethnic wear, wedding collections, beauty essentials and sportswear.

Myntra witnessed strong consumer demand across categories, with several segments reporting multi-fold growth over BAU. Categories such as men's casual wear, women's western wear and sports apparel saw an average 1.6× growth in demand. Wearables, in particular, witnessed a 17-times spike, showcasing strong traction for the category.
With the ongoing travel season, trolley bags also saw high traction, recording a 2× growth in demand. The home furnishing category similarly witnessed two-times growth during this EORS.
Myntra's Gen Z-focused proposition recorded an 18× growth over BAU during the event, indicating strong shopping sentiment from Gen Z consumers.
With over 10,000 styles and more than 500 brands across fashion, beauty, accessories and home, the company's quick delivery service, M-Now, continued to be a customer favourite in Bengaluru. On the first day of EORS, M-Now saw a 4× spike in orders over BAU, highlighting the growing preference for speed in fashion deliveries.
A popular proposition during this edition was the VIP Ticket. More than half a million customers purchased the VIP Ticket, gaining one-day early access to the event along with special VIP deals.

‘Can't think of any postgraduate who hasn't been absorbed into some industry by end of course': asst prof at SPPU's Department of Foreign Languages

Written by Kavyaa Musurkar At the Department of Foreign Languages in Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU), learning a new language is no longer just a leisurely pursuit. Over the years, the department has seen a shift in its student profile – from hobbyists to working professionals, students to senior citizens, all looking to boost their employability and global mobility. 'The demand keeps changing – some years it's one language, other years it's another,' said Dr Nandita Wagle, Assistant Professor, who has been teaching French and is associated with the department since 2013. 'During admissions, especially after Class 10 or 12, nearly all languages see demand, except perhaps Russian. However, in Pune, French, German, and Japanese continue to draw the most interest,' she added. The diversity of the department's student body reflects its growing relevance. Wagle mentioned that while most of those undergoing the various courses are students, they also have a substantial number of working professionals; in fact, many of the learners are above 50. 'Most professionals join because they view the course as an opportunity to enhance or even reshape their careers,' she said. In 1995, while working with Datapro Infoworld after completing his Computer Engineering from Pune Institute of Computer Technology (PICT), Pramod Karanjkar enrolled in the department's Japanese language part-time course. 'I was fortunate to be taught by Dr Hari Damale Sensei, who not only taught us the language but also shared his cultural experiences from Japan. He helped us understand the nuances of the language and the values behind it,' Karanjkar said. During his course, he was offered a position as a Bilingual Engineer in the Japan-focused division of Datamatics Ltd. 'Within six months, I was interacting with a Japanese client who visited India. Soon after, I flew to Japan for a new project. The education I received, both language and culture, helped me take that leap. I eventually got the opportunity to lead a dedicated Japan Offshore Development Centre in Pune,' he added. In the same batch as Karanjkar was Dattatray Sadashiv Warunkar, then in his 40s, who completed all three levels of the Japanese course between 1997 and 1999. He also credited Damale's teaching for shaping his understanding of the Japanese language and values. 'We got the chance to interact with many native Japanese speakers who visited the department. Through conversations with them, I learned so much about their discipline, dedication, humility, and above all, their love for their country. These are qualities I think Indian citizens can benefit from adopting,' he said. Warunkar went on to serve as Vice President of the Japanese Language Teachers' Association of Pune (JALTAP) for 15 years after completing the course. He fondly recalled how being in the classroom with younger students gave him a fresh outlook on life. 'I loved talking with them. They had so much energy and joy. It inspired me to take life lightly, to laugh more, and live happily. I learned as much from the students around me as I did from the curriculum,' he added. The department has adapted its curriculum and teaching methods in step with changing times. 'Our courses are updated regularly,' Wagle said, adding that 'Post-Covid, many classes moved online. We now run hybrid batches. Faculty members are trained in digital teaching tools utilising smart boards, online textbooks, and other resources. Students also have the option of choosing between paper and e-book formats.' She explained that language education today is deeply connected with real-world career needs. 'Earlier, people came to learn a language out of cultural interest. Today, it's seen as a skill that adds value to any career path,' she said, adding that 'for many, it opens doors to opportunities abroad, or adds a global edge to their current profession.' 'Teaching and translation are traditional options, but many also work in management, localisation, verification services, or with embassies and consulates,' Wagle further said. 'With the way the economy has opened up, language learners can find employment in a variety of roles. I can't think of a single postgraduate who hasn't been absorbed into some industry or the other by the end of the course,' she added. (Kavyaa Masurkar is an intern with The Indian Express)

Snap Inc acquires social calendar app Saturn to deepen Gen Z engagement

Snap Inc has acquired Saturn , a social calendar app used by high school students across the US, the company confirmed on Friday. While financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, the app will continue to operate independently for now. Founded in 2018 by Dylan Diamond and Max Baron, Saturn helps students manage rotation calendars, block schedules, lunch waves, and other academic timetables — a niche that has made it widely adopted among teenagers. According to the company, over 80% of UShigh schools use Saturn, positioning it as a highly engaged platform for Gen Z users. As part of the acquisition, Saturn's full team of around 30 employees will join Snap Inc, according to tech news publications TechCrunch. The move is expected to help Snap incorporate social planning and time-management features more seamlessly into Snapchat, reinforcing its efforts to stay relevant with younger audiences. Saturn had previously raised $44 million in funding from investors including General Catalyst , Insight Partners, Coatue, Bezos Expeditions, and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. The app's origin traces back to when cofounder Dylan Diamond, then a high school student, built an early version to help classmates manage their schedules — a tool that saw 90% adoption on his campus, ultimately laying the foundation for Saturn. Snap has long positioned itself as a 'camera company' with a social core, and this acquisition aligns with its broader strategy of building personalised, utility-driven tools for its Gen Z user base. The integration of Saturn's features could offer Snap new avenues to boost daily engagement and extend time spent on the platform — an area of increasing focus amid competition from TikTok and BeReal.
