What to watch

  • Instamart order growth, average order value, dark-store additions and contribution-margin disclosures.
  • Sequential movement in adjusted EBITDA, operating cash burn and cash balance.
  • Discounting and delivery-fee actions by Zomato, Blinkit, Zepto and other quick-commerce competitors.
  • Customer-frequency trends, particularly in discretionary food delivery versus essential-led quick commerce.
  • Advertising-revenue growth and restaurant commission/take-rate stability.
  • Any evidence that expansion into new cities is diluting unit economics or increasing delivery-partner costs.
  • Emphasize adjusted EBITDA, contribution margin and cash-burn trends over consolidated net loss in upcoming investor communication.
  • Concentrate quick-commerce expansion on high-density micro-markets where dark-store utilization can improve fastest.
  • Increase advertising, restaurant-partner services and premium/subscription monetization to reduce dependence on delivery commissions.
  • Maintain targeted rather than broad-based customer discounts to avoid reigniting a price war.
  • Use improving results to strengthen merchant, brand-advertising and delivery-partner retention efforts ahead of competitor expansion.
