He Beat Harshad Mehta | Can Quick Commerce Defeat RK Damani? | DMart Case Study Why is DMart in trouble despite its stores being crowded? This finance documentary explores the remarkable journey of RadhaKishan Damani — from stock market trading and short selling in the 1990s to building DMart into one of India's most successful retail businesses. The story begins with the 1992 Indian stock market boom, Harshad Mehta, ACC and RK Damani's short-selling strategy. We then follow Damani's transition from stock market trading and long-term investing to the creation and expansion of DMart. But India's retail market is changing rapidly. The rise of Quick Commerce companies such as Blinkit, Zepto and Swiggy Instamart has changed consumer shopping habits with ultra-fast grocery delivery. DMart's traditional large-store, bulk-shopping and low-price model now faces a completely different type of competition.
