- Any additional Swiggy-Udaan commercial agreements, including sourcing, logistics, merchant services or quick-commerce collaboration.
- Udaan fundraising, valuation marks, creditor arrangements or consolidation activity following the deal.
- Udaan is likely to prioritize Lynk merchant, supplier and logistics integration while rationalizing duplicate facilities and field-sales coverage.
