What they didn’t mention 
 1) college fees paid by parents 
 2) living with parents, so no cost of food or accommodation fees

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hey, any Blinkit employees here who can tell us how the company is going to handle the crisis at hand?? With so many dark stores closing and 2500+ delivery partners on strike??

Trouble brewing @ Blinkit

Flipkart losses widen by 42% to Rs 4,845.7 crore. Total loss of Flipkart  since inception now amounts to Rs. 12,600 crore. And we are talking about  the flag bearer of India's success story 's performance in 16th year since its inception

After 16 years of existence should we still call Flipkart a startup?

I have see many lists of places to work at. Let’s create a list of companies not to work at. Please post the company name and the experience of working their.

Top 100 places not to work at!

Food tech market is 50B+ ( duopoly)

Most of my friends use swiggy for everything like food, groceries and dine out.

They say Zomato sucks in ui ux and 3rd grade restaurants are there at Zomato, swiggy is better at offers and quality restaurants.

Zomato peak stock value was 180inr, which makes it a 15B firm, by that logic swiggy can get even 20B ipo.

PS - Baron capital already raised swiggy valuation to 13.9B usd

What do u think guys?

Swiggy valuation $15B ++

Zomato is on a roll!

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

So how many orders did zomato + blink it vs swiggy + instamart this year? I see CEOs from both companies post some plots (without scale calibration) or data points without actually sharing the number of orders.

Swiggy vs Zomato

Analyst

This is based on an analysis of 24 K reviews on iPhone & Android phones between Jan to Nov 2023 conducted by Clootrack. The results though look a lot skewed as 
Zomato outperforms Swiggy by 3-4X in every parameter, How do you look at these results, Do you agree with this analysis?

Is this an effect of Public Listing?

Feels like bad data analysis by inc 42 team. Or clooktrack. Not all reviews mention each of these parameters and hence how this has been weighted needs to be clarified. Also how the f is food quality on zomato 3x Better than Swiggy?? Both are platforms and should ideally be nearest in this.

Zomato delivered another great set of results. Now they are adding 250Cr cash every quarter.
The company hit two benchmarks this quarter according to my calculations, 50,000 Cr worth of orders (4x Q3) and 100 Cr orders (4x Q3), and these are growing 25-30% year on year.
Why is this interesting? As some of you might know, they have started adding platform fees to the orders. Even one more rupee of platform fee will add 100 Cr to EBITDA. So, if they increase fees from 5 to 10, that's 500 Cr more EBITDA every year.
 
Now, If you look at this quarter's results vs last quarter's results, they have added ~3600 Cr of order value, and made 380 Cr of EBITDA (this does not include Events). Which means they are making 10% as EBITDA. In next 3 years, if Zomato doubles their order value to 1,00,000 Cr, and even make 8% EBITDA, this could mean 8000 Cr EBITDA (almost 1 billion dollars). What markets will give as multiple on this, is guess work. Could be 25-40x (Don't hold me on this). Hence the stock looks undervalued from a 3 year lens

Just wondering if you have to pick one app / platform, which one would it be?

2030: which app / product from today you would be using?

Growth Manager

Their VC funding is drying up, and finding investors for next rounds is proving difficult because of the macroeconomic conditions (apart from glaringly obvious reasons like their hype has died down since it's not 2020 anymore).

Twitter has launched Ads Revenue Sharing where users with enough engagement get paid by Twitter. This is Dukaan leadership's last resort to sort of "bootstrap" themselves.

The income from Twitter is probably what helped Dukaan become profitable a few days ago.

What do you folks think?

Why Dukaan founders engage in Twitter fights

- Deepinder Goyal has become a billionaire following a record rally in Zomato shares, which have surged over 300% since July 2023.
- Zomato's stock hit a new high of Rs230 on the BSE, boosting its market cap past Rs1.8 trillion and making Goyal India's richest professional manager with a net worth of Rs8,300 crore.
- The surge in stock is driven by expectations that Zomato's quick commerce business, Blinkit, will outperform peers and turn profitable sooner than anticipated.
- Analysts expect Blinkit to surpass Zomato's food delivery business in gross order value (GOV) and strengthen its market position, despite a longer path to sustainable EBITDA margins.
- Goldman Sachs values Blinkit at $13 billion, higher than Zomato's core food delivery business, predicting significant growth in GOV and EBITDA by FY29.

Zomato Founder-CEO Deepinder Goyal Joins Billionaire Club

One founder who truly inspires me!

- Founded Zomato in 2008 and was doing a completely different thing
- First business model failed. Did global expansion across many countries did not work out
- But created an excellent product: most reliable catalogue of restaurants and reviews
- Got into delivery after Swiggy and others
- Executes like a machine. Raised smaller rounds, cross Swiggy GMV, revenue, was first to get to unit profitability.
- BlinkIt acquisition
- Best startup IPO so far in India 

Truly the grit an entrepreneur must have. 16 years of building. It isn't easy, I am sure.

I am thinking of leaving my current job and focus on myself, getting to know myself better etc. Currently I have enough money saved for my expenses for next 6-8 months. 
   Everyone I have asked about this say don't leave your job if you don't have another lined up, in this tech winter. I understand their view point. It aligns with what my parents think as well.

Is there anyone who has had done this in the past? Do you recommend this route? Are the consequences far too severe? Does anyone have a different opinion from one stated above?

Anyone ever left job without having another job lying around for their mental peace?

I'm in the same boat, on the verge of quitting, and will most probably take the leap next month.  
 Thanks for the thread. A lot of insights. It has made me confident that I'm not doing anything stupid.

Work culture has become ultra toxic. Managers have started nano managing and literally are a pain in the ass. Product giving unrealistic timelines and leadership agreeing on the same without even consulting the developers and even if the developers are raising concerns, no fucks are given infact they are made to realise that this is how a startup should work. Literally everyone is working their asses off and still unable to meet the deadlines. Empathy is completely lost and WLB is a sham. People including me want to switch but are not even getting time to prepare.

Rant on Swiggy wlb

This is all trickling down from the Leadership, they are trying to cut down costs by any means. Already had one round of layoffs, now they are doing silent layoffs in the form of PIPs. 
  
 Also, Leaders have lost the long term focus and are trying to find out more and more short term projects related to profitability.  
  
 There was always this pressure of work, but in the past 7-8 months this has become unbearable with no empathy in the organisation.
