Reliance’s Ajio Rush Enters the Ultra-Fast Fashion Race, Promises Delivery in Four Hours

Reliance Retail has jumped into the ultra-fast fashion delivery game with the launch of Ajio Rush, a four-hour express service now live in six major Indian cities. The move throws fresh heat into an already competitive space—and it’s just getting started.

Launched in Q1 FY26, Ajio Rush is making waves with over 1.3 lakh styles on offer and a strong debut in customer metrics. Early signs suggest it’s not just a flashy experiment—it might actually be working.

Quick Delivery, Quicker Expectations

Reliance isn’t just testing the waters here. With Ajio Rush, it’s diving straight into the deep end of the fashion quick-commerce pool, where speed is currency and loyalty is fickle.

Ajio Rush’s pitch? Fashion at your door in four hours. Not tomorrow. Not “fast” by traditional e-commerce standards. Same-day, within a few hours—because Gen Z isn’t waiting.

And it’s working, apparently. According to Reliance’s latest earnings update, early performance has shown “promising unit economics.” That’s code for: this isn’t bleeding money like so many others in the quick delivery space.

Higher average order values and fewer returns are helping the bottom line. That’s rare for fast fashion, which usually struggles with returns, logistics overhead, and thin margins.

But Ajio Rush seems to be threading that needle.

The Race Is Crowded—and Fierce

Of course, Reliance isn’t alone in trying to corner this impulsive, convenience-driven market. Myntra’s M-Now beat them to the punch with a 30-minute to two-hour delivery promise last year.

Then there’s Nykaa Fashion. And Newme. And the plucky challenger Slikk, all throwing elbows to get ahead in a segment that’s suddenly hot again.

The catch? Everyone’s targeting Gen Z—arguably the most unpredictable consumer base. They want things now, but not if it compromises style or sustainability.

M-Now’s numbers haven’t been public, but analysts say it’s holding its ground, especially in metro areas like Bengaluru and Delhi NCR.

Nykaa, meanwhile, is still testing waters. Newme is trying a mix of pop-up stores and quick dispatches. Slikk, probably the scrappiest of the bunch, swears by its 60-minute promise.

This competition’s a street fight.

One Startup Shut Down, but the Money Keeps Coming

It’s not all sunshine, though. Blip, a buzzy quick fashion startup, crashed hard and fast—shutting down within 12 months of launch. Capital ran dry. Customer acquisition costs ballooned. The business just didn’t scale.

That failure didn’t scare away VCs.

Slikk bagged a fresh $10 million from Nexus Venture Partners and Lightspeed just last quarter. That’s a serious vote of confidence. Then there’s Snitch, which recently raised $40 million from 360 One Asset to fuel its own fashion express ambitions.

Here’s a snapshot of recent quick fashion funding:

Slikk$10 millionNexus, Lightspeed60 minutes
Snitch$40 million360 One AssetUltra-fast (unspecified)
NewmeUndisclosedAngel/Seed Stage3–6 hours
BlipShut downNA90 minutes (failed)

So yeah, VCs still believe there’s gold here—even if one or two bets go bust.

The Future? Probably a Hybrid Model

Experts don’t think this is just a speed race. That would be short-sighted.

Logistics costs in India are no joke, and return rates can destroy a fashion brand’s margin in days. That’s why many see success hinging on hybrid models—a mix of online promise and offline reliability.

Imagine ordering a ₹999 dress and picking it up from a local Ajio kiosk in your neighborhood. Or trying it at a pop-up and getting it delivered home within two hours. That’s where fashion delivery might land eventually.

The model isn’t fully baked, but brands are clearly cooking it up.

Reliance has the muscle—warehouses, retail stores, data, delivery fleet. So it might just be able to make it work. But the rest of the players? They’ll need to get creative and a bit lucky.
