Quick Commerce Business funding and shit

I can never think of any practical scenario where zepto, blinkit and instamart can become a profitable business model. I am just unaware and figuring out the tactics of their investors. How do they believe in such businesses? Why do they invest?

They're profitable at old dark stores They can obviously get there

It won't be a very big margin, but the scale will always be tremendous

Original Price of Tomato - 50 /KG Zepto Price - 90 / KG Platform Fee - 10 Rs People Buying even after knowing this as they are paying for product+comfort Hope it will clear your doubt

I see people mostly buy grocery items from quick commerce. Not vegetables, fruits.

Selling price - 310 - includes 10 platform fee Delivery - free Cost - 240

Revenue - 60
Huge fixed costs of dark stores, salaries and driver’s incentive. Is 60 enough? Lets include delivery fee - 30, is 90 enough to survive all sort of costs?

Zepto stated that 70% of existing dark stores are EBITDA positive. Hence the trust of investors to pump more money and scale it. People ready to pay for comfort, they dont run any crazy discounts also. It will scale, and will be sizeable, no doubt.

India's 109th unicorn?

I had heard Waycool was also talking to raise at unicorn valuation, but they've fired like 300 people on Monday, so that's pretty uncertain. What to make of Zepto, though?

Too much money too soon, where have we seen that?

While I'm proud of these two revolutionising the quick commerce space, I somehow have a bad feeling about this

Profits aren't coming, money is flowing Don't know what the VCs are seeking? Why bake a a pie that you can't eat later?

Zepto going from $1B to $3B valuation in just 8-9 months after last announcement.

I think in this bear market, to be able to raise like this, says something about how much investors believe in them & the model https://thearcweb.com/article/zepto-quick-commerce-aadit-palicha-blinkit-swiggy-flipkart-if07YMNjRHiOjmFA
