What to watch

- Blinkit store additions, quick-commerce GOV trends, and capital-allocation commentary.
- New restaurant-partner pricing, commission, loyalty, or advertising-product changes.
- Regulatory or labor-policy developments affecting delivery platforms in India.
- Competitive actions from Swiggy, including pricing, subscription, quick-commerce, and merchant-acquisition initiatives.
- Treat the item as background/context rather than an actionable company update.
- Look for follow-on Zomato disclosures covering order growth, GOV, adjusted EBITDA, Blinkit performance, restaurant commissions, or expansion.
- Monitor whether the retrospective is part of a wider media cycle tied to an anniversary, earnings event, brand campaign, or strategic announcement.
