What to watch

  • Quarterly revenue growth versus growth in net loss and any indication of positive contribution margin or EBITDA.
  • Order growth, active transacting users, repeat rates and average order value, if disclosed.
  • Marketing expense and fulfilment cost as a percentage of revenue.
  • Advertising and seller-service revenue growth, which would indicate a durable take-rate increase.
  • Return, cancellation and cash-on-delivery trends in low-ticket categories.
  • Competitive discounting and delivery-fee changes from Amazon, Flipkart, Shopsy and other value-commerce platforms.
  • Evidence of fundraising, pre-IPO governance hires, auditor changes or formal IPO preparation.
  • Increase monetisation of sellers through advertising, fulfilment, payments and premium logistics services rather than relying primarily on commissions.
  • Prioritise repeat-purchase categories and higher-frequency essentials to reduce dependence on paid acquisition and festival-led demand.
  • Expand logistics density in tier-2, tier-3 and rural clusters to lower per-order delivery and return costs.
  • Use the improved loss trajectory to strengthen fundraising, governance and IPO-readiness messaging.
  • Defend seller assortment and price leadership as larger marketplaces target value-conscious shoppers.
