Swiggy CEO Highlights Blinkit's Lead and Plans Indian Ownership Transition
Swiggy CEO Sriharsha Majety acknowledged that rival Blinkit has built a stronger, more resilient quick commerce business, reflected in higher order volumes, net order value, and profitability. Swiggy aims to stabilize Instamart with a clear path to EBITDA profitability before expanding further. Additionally, Swiggy plans to transition to an Indian-owned entity by mid-Q3 FY27, expecting this shift to improve Instamart's margins by about 80 basis points and enhance operational control. The quick commerce market remains competitive with multiple players expanding rapidly.
