Swiggy vs. Zomato: Can Loss-Making Swiggy Deliver Like Profitable Zomato? Zomato and Swiggy are India’s leading food delivery companies, but their financial journeys are quite different. Zomato went public in July 2021, and after years of losses, it finally turned profitable in the June 2023 quarter. Investors who stuck with Zomato since its listing have seen positive returns, as the company has improved its margins and reduced losses. On the other hand, Swiggy, which remains privately held, is still posting losses despite strong market presence. With its upcoming IPO, the big question is whether Swiggy can follow Zomato’s path to profitability. Challenges like high competition, operational costs, and market saturation may affect Swiggy’s ability to replicate Zomato's success. While Swiggy has a diversified business model with services like Instamart (grocery delivery), it remains to be seen whether it can turn profitable post-listing and offer returns similar to Zomato. Investors will closely watch its financials and strategy for sustainable growth.
