Incorporated in 2010, Zomato through its technology platform connects customers, restaurant partners and delivery partners, serving their multiple needs. On the other hand, it provides restaurant partners with industry-specific marketing tools which enable them to engage and acquire customers to grow their business. It also operates a one-stop procurement solution, Hyper-pure, which supplies high quality ingredients and kitchen products to restaurant partners.

Zomato has consistently gained market share over the last four years to become the category leader in India in terms of gross order value (GOV) from October 2020 to March 2021. It generates a majority of its revenue from food delivery and the related commissions charged to its restaurant partners for using platform.

Analysts said the FoodTech market has shown huge prospects and attracted heavy investments as India online food delivery market. Hence they believe India is going through a revolutionary phase in the last few quarters.

Factors propelling India’s online food delivery market are changing lifestyle and eating habits, and hectic schedule and growing disposable income in India pushes people towards ready-to-eat food at a discounted rate, analysts said, adding rising digitalization among millennials and increasing proportion of working women in India are also driving the online food delivery trends in India.

Zomato is taping the same trends effectively, analysts feel.

As of March 2021, Zomato was present in 525 cities in India, with 3,89,932 active restaurant listings along with presence in 23 countries outside India.

The food delivery giant is going to utilise net proceeds from fresh issue for funding organic and inorganic growth initiatives.

Post a 23.5 percent decline in revenues in FY21 to Rs 1,993.8 crore (compared to Rs 2,604.7 crore in FY20) due to the Covid-19 pandemic, analysts expect growth to pick up sharply from FY22.

The loss declined to Rs (816.4) crore in FY21 from Rs (2,385.6) crore in FY20, while the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) loss dropped significantly year-after-year, to Rs (23.4) crore in FY21 from Rs (88.5) crore in FY20 and Rs (170.9) crore in FY19.
