Zomato authorised the acquisition of fast-growing e-commerce company Blinkit for Rs 4,447.5 crore ($570 million) in an all-stock deal in June 2022. Zomato already held a stake in Blinkit of more than 9%. (earlier Grofers).
In the meantime, Swiggy, a division of Bundl Technologies Private Ltd, handles the delivery of prepared food (from restaurants), cloud kitchens, and groceries via Swiggy Go.
Even amid the sector-friendly conditions of the global pandemic, when delivery became more of a necessity than a convenience, the report stated that venture capital and technological investment had fueled the business.
It said, “The business model is being adjusted to go toward profitability — most noticeably by adding grocery delivery.”
