Key Highlights

  • For some, it is festive.
  • For others, it feels like an ambush.
  • Across quick commerce and e-commerce apps, the user interface has transformed almost overnight.
  • “Rose Day Specials”, “Propose in 10 Minutes”, “Last-minute love savers” flash in red.
  • A swipe later, the palette turns black with tongue-in-cheek categories such as “plans for one”, “self-care”, “say no to sharing” and “adult money corner”.
