“Our focus on profitability has sharpened over the past few months with the change in market context, without compromising our focus on growth. We are doing that by assessing everything with a critical lens and allocating resources by taking a long-term view to sustainable growth, as well as profit,” said Deepinder Goyal, CEO at Zomato.
The company accepted that there is a negative impact on the demand side but said it was hard to quantify. Similarly, on the cost side, the margins are getting negatively impacted due to higher fuel costs and wage inflation, it added.
Zomato said average monthly transacting customers have increased by 36 percent year-on-year (YoY) while the average monthly order frequency has also increased by 10 percent during the same period.
Goyal also rebuffed corporate governance issues in the recently executed acquisition of Blinkit. He said the buyout happened after an “objective” evaluation. Moreover, he said, knowing the founder of Blinkit personally was a good thing.
