Arjun Vijay Imagine ordering a Dosa Pan at 00:45 AM because your old ones handle broke, or a Mixer Grinder at 6:45 AM when your current one suddenly malfunctions. Picture yourself needing a mosquito bat in a remote Airbnb late at night, or the convenience of having 10kg bags of rice delivered straight to your door without carrying the carts to parking lot neither carrying in lifts, not to mention daily grocery runs and last-minute orders of socks or underwear before heading to outstation. These are all my real experiences, showing how quick commerce is set to completely transform traditional e-commerce. The new era has already begun, and it's just a matter of time before everyone catches up.

👋 Goodbye Zomato! 📈 Blinkit’s Value Soars Higher Than Zomato's Food Delivery Business 📍 The Blinkit strategy of Zomato has been successful, so much so that the value of Blinkit is now higher than the core business of Zomato which is food delivery. 📍 A report by Goldman Sachs showed how fast Blinkit grew and as a result, the stock price of Zomato skyrocketed. 📍 The worth of Blinkit surged to $13 billion approximately which is a six times increase since March 2023. 📍 This was driven by its outstanding performance with 103% YoY growth in GOV during Q4 December 2023 alone among other things. 📍 Goldman Sachs expects EBITDA breakeven for Blinkit by the end of Q4 FY24 and projects that it will have a better EBITDA margin than any year from 2021 through 2030 over Zomatos food delivery business. 📍 Another notable thing about this analysis was Consumer Sentiment where it turned out that Blinkits had the highest favorability rating among consumers thereby solidifying their position as a strong performer within the market space. 📍 India's quick commerce industry is growing rapidly and could reach up to $150bn in the top 50 cities alone by 2023 addressable market size estimates suggest explosive demand for fast-moving consumer goods. 📍 Blinkit’s performance plus the increase in Zomato’s stock price indicates a bright future.

In 2022, #Zomato acquired #Blinkit in a $569 million all-stock deal, sparking widespread criticism for not choosing Swiggy. Fast forward two years, and the numbers speak volumes. During the quarter under review, Zomato's B2C business verticals experienced a 53% YoY #growth in gross order value (GOV), impressive no doubt. However, Blinkit's GOV soared by 130% YoY, raising eyebrows across the industry. Analysts, like #Bernstein, are bold in their predictions, estimating that Blinkit will surpass Zomato's food delivery #revenue by FY30. The tables seem to be turning. What are your thoughts on this?

🚀 How Zepto Got Its Name – A Story of Speed and Precision ⏱️ Ever wondered how Zepto – the company that's redefining grocery delivery – got its name? It’s inspired by “zeptosecond”, a unit of time that’s one trillionth of a billionth of a second! which is "a factor of 10⁻²¹, i.e. 0.000000000000000000001."⚡ Zepto’s founders wanted a name that reflected their core mission: delivering essentials at lightning-fast speed. Just like a zeptosecond captures the fastest, most precise moment, Zepto is all about hyper-efficient deliveries, often within minutes. 🛒 #StartupStories #Zepto #Innovation #DeliveryTech #Entrepreneurship #Speed

Is it Ethical? We avoid eating out at restaurants because it takes 50 minutes just for the one-way travel. Instead, we order from #Zomato and expect delivery within 40 minutes. I've noticed many Zomato drivers taking significant risks to navigate through traffic. They often cross roads over dividers, and in poorly lit areas, they risk being hit by oncoming vehicles. When there's demand, the market tries to meet it. So, not expecting fast delivery could be one way to reduce these risks. Isn’t similar to avoiding buying textiles from companies who use child labour? What are your thoughts?

🚀 Swiggy's ₹11,664 Crore IPO: A Make-or-Break Moment in the Food Delivery Battle As we look at Swiggy's upcoming IPO, there are a few critical questions to consider—can the company scale sustainably and compete effectively in a tough market dominated by the likes of Zomato and Blinkit? 📊 💡 Swiggy's super app model provides distinct advantages. Its ability to cross-sell across multiple verticals keeps customer acquisition costs lower than Zomato's, which is a huge plus in a market as dynamic as India. However, even with a 36% revenue growth, profitability remains elusive. The challenge is real. 📉 Despite the potential, Swiggy has been losing market share since 2018. The Indian market clearly favors specialized apps like Zomato, which has seen its stock soar by 120% in the last year. This is a crucial insight—being a jack of all trades may not guarantee success. 🔄 On the operations front, Swiggy's hub-and-spoke delivery model could bring much-needed efficiency, potentially reducing costs. Yet, leadership instability is a concern that can't be ignored—recent executive departures may impact its ability to execute strategies effectively. As the market continues to grow, Swiggy has an opportunity, but execution and market adaptability will be the defining factors in whether this IPO is a success. A big shoutout to Think School ® , especially Ganeshprasad S and Parsh Kothari , for their brilliant analysis that inspired this post. 🙌 #IPO #Leadership #FoodDelivery #Swiggy #Zomato #Innovation #ThinkSchool #MarketInsights #GrowthStrategy
