  • Watch for disclosure of the reporting period, absolute profit, revenue growth and EBITDA or margin trends.
  • Track new enterprise merchant wins, especially among e-commerce marketplaces, D2C brands and quick-commerce platforms.
  • Monitor investment in delivery hubs, sorting automation, dark-store logistics and rider fleet expansion.
  • Assess whether Shadowfax changes pricing, expands service-level guarantees or raises capital to accelerate growth.
