Those numbers and they are still not profitable. Where's the gap?

Giving free deliveries

The top cities are profitable. The loss is a function of growth (new dark stores take time to mature in economics)

Quick commerce in India is working and there is evidence of profitability from mature dark stores/cities

I don't believe it. I rarely see zepto delivery on streets but blinkit looks more common.

Not sure if they're doing better business in Mumbai.

Crazy execution, no doubt. To build a brand and scaled operations in this short a time!

Yes their aov is around 400, slightly lower than Zomato. Market leader, category creator.

You should educate yourself. Don’t act like airbnb early investor who believed TAM to be really small to make a meaningful business.

Anyone knows how many cities they're live in and how many stores they have?

Only and only in the metro cities. And I'm 10000% sure that they won't go to tier 2 cities at all. So even in metro cities they target the specific areas.

I am in Pune and they are available in only few specific areas like baner magarpatta and hinjewadi which are completely urban and upper middle class areas.

Well Zepto does work beyond Blinkit’s timing in my area. There is a late night fee charge but I can see how it has reached this point

If they stop giving free deliverables then they might go profitable. Warna 100m dollars sales yet still no profit is wtf moment
