this is a totally absurd comparison, Those demart retail stores make a huge profit margin and whereas these quick commerce have got lost in customer acquisition and retention. have you thought when ecommerce came people said shopping in shops and malls will be gone? has it happened? no right... similarly people prefer omnichannel. quick commerce will grow, but not at the cost of dmart. these retail stores can add so many sku's but dark stores can't add high margin products. you can't run for a longer period of time with short profit margin products. opex will be high. dmart business model is hard to crack. let's see what these quick commerce wala will do.

Relying on third-party franchisees could lead to inconsistent quality or service if not managed properly but what do I know 😅

What are you saying?

It’s like they’re moving from a controlled system to one that could get messy with too many moving parts...hope this helps them achieve profitability tho

So...? What does this mean?

Zepto is winning the convenience war, but they can’t compete on Dmart’s pricing. The moment VCs stop funding, Zepto's 10-minute delivery model will collapse.

Zepto and Blinkit aren’t Dmart’s competitors. Quick commerce works for snacks, but bulk grocery shopping still needs offline stores. You can’t home-deliver 20 kg of rice and expect margins to be the same.

💀

Lol, people have been saying 'Dmart is dead' for years now, but it just keeps expanding. Have you seen their balance sheet? Profit margins are rock solid.
