Swiggy and Blinkit Adopt Different Strategies Amid Quick Commerce Competition
Swiggy CEO Sriharsha Majety acknowledged Blinkit's stronger quick commerce business model, attributing its lead to a compounding flywheel and greater resilience. Blinkit's Q2 FY27 metrics showed higher order volumes, store count, and an EBITDA profit, while Instamart reported losses. Swiggy plans to transition Instamart to an inventory-led model over 2-3 quarters, aiming to improve margins and operational control. Both companies pursue distinct growth strategies amid intensifying competition, with Blinkit expanding aggressively and Swiggy focusing on quality growth and customer engagement.
