What changed

What to watch
- Further disclosures on contribution margin, average order value, repeat rates and delivery-cost trends.
- Micro-fulfilment-centre additions versus active-city growth; faster store growth than order density would signal margin risk.
- Tier 2+ mix, especially whether higher-value categories sustain growth beyond introductory discounts.
- D2C brand exclusives, private-label penetration and availability metrics as indicators of assortment defensibility.
- Competitive pricing, delivery-fee changes and expansion responses from Blinkit, Zepto and Swiggy Instamart.
