Podcasts about Zomato

In this episode of IPS Finance, we break down the reasons behind the rise in BSE and Zomato shares and why Adani Enterprises saw a decline, based on the latest Q3 results. The discussion also examines the US–Bangladesh agreement and whether it could have any economic or trade impact on India. A quick, insightful analysis to help investors understand market movements and make informed decisions.

PhonePe leads nearly half of India's UPI transactions, but as it gears up for a $1.3 billion IPO, a tough question looms: can a company built to defend its lead ever learn to make real profit?In this episode, Rohin Dharmakumar argues that PhonePe's dominance might actually be a strategic trap. With zero-margin transactions and shifting regulations, the next ten years cannot look like the last. To win, PhonePe must decide whether it's willing to risk its crown to become a bold market creator. Will it evolve into an aggressive disruptor like Zomato, or remain a safe, boring utility like PayPal?Joining co-hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan is Arundhati Ramanathan, Deputy Editor at The Ken and resident fintech expert. Arundhati recently published a story on January 26 titled 'Should PhonePe be worth more than Paytm's $7.9B?' which dives deep into the company's valuation puzzle. We also introduce a new voice to the 2x2 team: Rahel Philipose joins as our third co-host to help unravel the cultural and strategic shifts required for PhonePe's survival.This episode of Two by Two was produced by Uddantika Kashyap mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer.If you liked this episode, please share it with your friends and colleagues.

Swiggy has launched Noice, a private label brand that's popping up across categories on Instamart. But is this a genuine brand-building play or just another experiment destined for Swiggy's product graveyard?In this episode, co-hosts Praveen Gopal Krishnan and Rohin Dharmakumar are joined by Sandeep Nair, co-founder of brand strategy consultancy David & Who and former Swiggy marketing director, and Mrunmayi Oke, SVP of Strategy at Zilo and former head of business at Dunzo. Together, they debate whether Noice is Swiggy's answer to Kirkland or closer to Amazon Solimo with ‘truck-style' packaging.The conversation explores short-term performance metrics and long-term brand building, why most private labels fail, what makes retailers like Costco and Aldi succeed, and whether Swiggy has the organisational discipline to stick with this strategy. They also discuss the economics of private labels and what it takes to build a brand that consumers actually trust.____This episode of Two by Two was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer.If you liked this episode, please share it with your friends and colleagues.

Amidst changing business environment, Tata Consultancy Services has embarked on a transformation journey with AI at its centre. In conversation with businessline, TCS CEO K Krithivasan and CFO Samir Seksaria, talk about how enterprise clients are accelerating AI decisions despite global uncertainty, how deal cycles are shortening, and why the long-held American dream is no longer the primary aspiration for India's IT talent. Read the full interview by Vallari Sanzgiri and Thomas K Thomas in the Hindu Businessline. ‘No more 10-minute delivery': Quick commerce players do away with deadline after labour minister intervenes Union Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has persuaded major delivery aggregators to remove the mandatory 10-minute delivery deadline, following a series of sustained interventions, sources said Tuesday. A meeting was held with leading platforms including Blinkit, Zepto, Zomato and Swiggy among others to address concerns related to delivery timelines. According to sources, Blinkit has already acted on the directive and removed the 10-minute delivery promise from its branding. Other aggregators are expected to follow suit in the coming days. The move is aimed at ensuring greater safety, security and improved working conditions for gig workers. World Bank estimates 7.2% growth for FY26, 6.5% for FY27 World Bank on Tuesday pegged FY26 growth rate at 7.2 per cent which is lower than government's projection of 7.4 per cent. For the next fiscal, the growth rate could be 6.5 per cent. “Growth in India is projected to slow to 6.5 percent in FY2026/27, assuming that the 50 percent import tariffs by the United States remain in place throughout the forecast horizon,” the Bank said in its latest Global Economic Prospects report. Securities transaction tax collection likely to miss Budget target The regulatory tightening of Futures and Options (F&O) trading, among other factors, led to a decline in securities transaction tax (STT) collections. Should current trends persist, revenue is expected to fall short of underperform against Budget estimates, a scenario not seen since FY20. Data made public by the Income Tax Department show that STT collection was around ₹44,500 crore as on January 11. Meeting Budget estimates will require a collection of over ₹33,400 crore in the remaining 79 days, a target that appears increasingly challenging.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we break down why tipping on food delivery apps remains a niche behaviour in India and what the numbers really say about rider earnings. We also look at Wispr Flow's bet on voice-first AI inspired by Iron Man's Jarvis, actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu's growing startup portfolio, and why artificial intelligence and data centres could take centre stage in the Union Budget for FY27.

On this episode of Tech 3 Podcast, we break down earnings of delivery partners at platforms such as Zomato and Swiggy, discuss why more ad dollars are flowing to AI chatbots like Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity, list the key asks of space tech startups ahead of the Union Budget and tell you why Q3 is going to be a muted quarter for Indian IT firms.

The recent disruption India's aviation sector due to IndiGo's crew shortage has thrown up questions about the concentration of powers in the hands of a few in the market across sectors. India's domestic aviation market is heavily concentrated. IndiGo and Air India together control close to 90 per cent of passenger traffic. Passengers were left without a backup when IndiGo faced a massive staff shortage, after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) implemented new rest and duty norms for the crew.  This is not unique to aviation. Across India's economy, several sectors have quietly settled into duopolies. In telecom, Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio dominate the market. Vodafone Idea and state-run BSNL struggle to stay competitive. In the digital economy, Amazon and Flipkart domiante the e-commerce sector, while, Uber and Ola lead ride-hailing. Zomato and Swiggy dominate food delivery sector. PhonePe and Google Pay command digital payments. Similar concentration exists in cement, steel, automobiles and other core industries. 2025 Nobel economic laurates Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt studied how companies invest in R&D to get patents to gain an advantage in the market. Their theory helps understanding how societies needs to support R&D to support economic growth. Power concentration is happens with innovation and the ability to raise investments. But concentration becomes a concern when it reduces consumer choice, weakens labour protections, or creates companies considered too big to fail. The IndiGo disruption has reignited that debate. As markets grow more concentrated, the key question remains — at what point should regulation step in to protect competition, workers and consumers?

Food delivery apps Zomato and Swiggy are rolling out higher incentives for delivery partners ahead of New Year’s Eve, a move they say is standard during festive periods. At the same time, gig worker unions have called for a nationwide strike on December 31st, demanding better pay and working conditions. With lakhs of workers threatening to log off on one of the busiest nights of the year, how serious is the disruption likely to be?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Madhav Krishna's journey from Silicon Valley to solving India's 450-million blue-collar workforce challenge is a masterclass in finding product-market fit. Starting with a voice-based English teacher called Lakshmi in 2016, Madhav pivoted three times before discovering the real painkiller: recruitment, not training. Today, Vahan.ai powers hiring for Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, and Uber using a unique agency-powered model combined with GPT-4o voice AI that costs just ₹2 per minute compared to ₹3-4 for human recruiters. He shared the complete journey in this candid conversation with host Akshay Datt, revealing why his WhatsApp bot with 500K users meant nothing until he embraced local recruitment agencies instead of trying to disintermediate them. From Y Combinator to backing by Khosla Ventures and Temasek, Madhav explains why SaaS fails in India, how outcome-based pricing became their moat, and why India's trust deficit requires human intermediaries even in the age of AI. With 150 employees generating 40,000 monthly placements and a clear path to profitability at just 3X scale, this is essential viewing for anyone building in India's gig economy, exploring vertical AI applications, or trying to understand what actually works in Indian enterprise markets.

2025 is done. Forty-eight episodes. Hundreds of guests. Endless banter between Rohin and Praveen.This year, Two by Two covered stories from Bengaluru to the world including business, tech, and everything in between. We didn't just stick to the usual. We asked about people, trends, and the things others weren't paying attention to. We brought on guests who didn't rehearse their answers and tried to make sense of things as they happened.Some episodes turned out to be prescient. Some were messy. Some sparked arguments in our inbox. All of them tried to do what we set out to do: spot hidden connections, ask unasked questions, and figure out what's really going on.This final episode is Rohin looking back at six moments from the year with clips from conversations that stood out. Between each one, he adds context and some behind-the-scenes perspective on why it mattered.Here are the episodes featured:Episode 26: Zomato, Swiggy, and the rise of the 10-minute "dark" caféEpisode 31: Airtel fights spammers. And Truecaller's business modelEpisode 47: Who broke Bengaluru, and how do we fix our cities?Episode 50: In an AI age, India does not have an open source strategyEpisode 51: The invisible whale that capsized India's leaky options boatsEpisode 66: What will bring ambition back from the dead?To everyone who listened, argued with us, sent guest suggestions, or just stuck around, thank you. Next year, we're coming back with everything that makes Two by Two what it is, but bigger and better. Maybe even a few surprises. Stay tuned.There won't be an episode next Thursday. We will return on January 8th, 2026.See you in the new year.________This episode was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer.If you liked this episode of Two by Two, please share it with your friends, family and colleagues who would be interested in listening.

The Indian government is losing patience with consumer-tech platforms using dark patterns or manipulative design tricks.In late May 2024, Consumer Affairs Minister, Pralhad Joshi, gathered the country's biggest internet companies, Amazon, Google, Zomato, Ola Electric, etc to give them an ultimatum: clean up your user interfaces by September 5 or face the consequences.From hidden fees on Amazon to guilt-inducing pop-ups on Indigo, these tactics push users into spending more money, sharing more data, or giving up more control, often without realising it. And they're deeply baked into how these companies grow, making them hard to remove without hurting the bottom line.Tune in.**This episode was first published on 11 August, 2025Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Lenskart is now a public company, and its first real market test just arrived. The shares fell a little over 3% on December 8 as the shareholder lock-in expired, putting the company back in the news and making it a good moment to revisit how it got here. Lenskart ended FY25 with a ₹297 crore in profit and nearly 40 % of that now comes from its 656 stores outside India. That global reach is unusual for an Indian consumer brand, especially when others like Zomato and Ola struggled overseas.The company's steady expansion strategy has leaned on selective acquisitions, investments and joint ventures. And its real strength is a vertically integrated supply chain that keeps prices tight, speeds up product launches and maintains consistency across markets. With the stock settling into life post-listing, today, we look back at what built Lenskart's momentum.**This episode was first published on Aug 25, 2025Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

India's restaurants just won a four-year battle for customer data access from Zomato and Swiggy. But here's the twist: this "victory" comes precisely as the industry becomes more platform-dependent than ever. While the NRAI celebrates phone number sharing, investors are pouring billions into QSRs and cloud kitchens—business models that assume permanent platform capture. With delivery platforms extracting 16-30% commissions and controlling discovery, logistics, and customer acquisition, data sharing is less a power shift and more a pressure valve. The real story? Restaurants are betting that platform-enabled scale will overcome platform-extracted margins.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

In this episode, Julia speaks with Ragini Das co-founder of Leap Club, a community of over 25,000 women — about how to combine ego and empathy in leading. Ragini shares why she refuses to see ego as a “dirty word.” For her, ego is self-belief — the conviction that fuels courage, creativity, and resilience. It's what helps you dream big and keep going when the odds are against you. But she also insists that ego alone isn't enough. Without empathy, you lose connection, trust, and perspective. The conversation explores how empathy keeps people with you — as team members, collaborators, or community members — by listening, responding, and leading with honesty. Ragini reflects on moments of building and eventually pausing Leap Club, and how trust, transparency, and care shaped every decision along the way. Together, Julia and Ragini unpack what it means to lead online communities, balance ambition with compassion, and make tough calls with integrity. Ragini leaves us with a striking reminder: “Ego pushes you forward. Empathy keeps people with you.” And perhaps most powerfully — that real leading is about being ambitious not just for yourself, but for others too. About the guest: Ragini Das is the Head of Google for Startups in India and the co-founder of Leap.club, a women-first professional network that grew to over 25,000 members. She previously spent six years at Zomato leading growth and international market launches. Recognised as a LinkedIn Top Voice and Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, Ragini is known for building communities that balance ambition with authenticity and for championing women who do the same.

Lenskart is gearing up for a nearly $1 billion IPO after closing FY25 on a strong note with ₹6,652 crore in revenue and ₹297 crore in profit. What's even more impressive is that almost 40% of that revenue now comes from its more than 600 stores outside India, rare feat for an Indian consumer brand.Unlike peers such as Zomato and Ola that stumbled in global markets, Lenskart has taken a slow-and-steady approach, leaning on selective acquisitions, smart investments, and joint ventures to expand abroad. At the heart of its success is a vertically integrated supply chain that gives the company pricing power, agility in launching new products, and the ability to deliver consistent quality no matter the geography.

The Indian government is losing patience with consumer-tech platforms using dark patterns or manipulative design tricks.In late May 2024, Consumer Affairs Minister, Pralhad Joshi, gathered the country's biggest internet companies, Amazon, Google, Zomato, Ola Electric, etc to give them an ultimatum: clean up your user interfaces by September 5 or face the consequences.From hidden fees on Amazon to guilt-inducing pop-ups on Indigo, these tactics push users into spending more money, sharing more data, or giving up more control, often without realising it. And they're deeply baked into how these companies grow, making them hard to remove without hurting the bottom line.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

In a recent, 10-page note recapping its investing journey, Info Edge (India) founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani proudly, and justifiably, called Zomato and Policybazaar “breakout successes”, “winners”, and “outliers”.A few days earlier, Zomato, now renamed Eternal, had released its sobering financials for the three months ended March. So what's Infoedge doing about it? Apart from its own businesses – spanning recruitment, real estate, matrimony and education – it owns roughly 12.5% each of Eternal and PB Fintech, the parent of insurance marketplace Policybazaar, and has not sold a single share in either since they started trading.The reason is simple and it was stated in its shareholders letter. It wants to be strategic and not opportunistic about existing businesses because it sees itself as a long term investor and not some trader. The thing is, not everyone is on the same page. Tune in.

En quatre ans, le chiffre d'affaires des géants de la livraison explose. Il est passé de cent millions à six milliards de dollars. Et ce n'est qu'un début : il pourrait grimper jusqu'à quarante milliards d'ici à 2030. Mais derrière cette croissance fulgurante, des coulisses moins reluisantes du secteur : livreurs précaires, petits commerçants fragilisés. Ils filent à toute allure dans le chaos des routes encombrées de New Delhi. T-shirts rouges, oranges, assortis aux scooters. Dans leurs gros sacs : des fruits, un ordinateur, une robe… n'importe quoi peut être livré en moins de dix minutes. Naveen, lui, brave les 45 degrés sans s'arrêter. Il enchaîne les courses, infatigable. Une cinquantaine déjà, rien que cet après-midi. « C'est très difficile. Je n'ai pas vraiment de revenus. Les primes sont très faibles, par exemple 24 livraisons me rapportent seulement quatre ou dix euros. Ce n'est rien du tout. Si une meilleure opportunité se présente à l'avenir, je laisse tomber ce travail de livraison. Je veux trouver un emploi plus stable, moins fatigant. Parce qu'avec la chaleur, la pollution… c'est vraiment difficile ». Le succès des livraisons rapides a aussi ses revers. Les petits commerçants de rue, comme Navratan, qui tient un stand de fruits et légumes en bord de route, en ressentent les effets : « C'est vrai qu'on subit des pertes à cause des ventes en ligne. Et en ce moment, c'est surtout la chaleur qui nous pose problème : les produits s'abîment plus vite. La vente en ligne nous impacte déjà beaucoup, mais avec cette chaleur, les marchandises se détériorent encore plus. On perd beaucoup de ventes à cause de tout ça. Et qu'est-ce qu'on peut faire ? Ça nous affecte énormément. On n'arrive même plus à travailler correctement ». Pour Satish Meena, spécialiste des questions de consommation, le boom économique de ces plateformes de livraisons rapides s'explique principalement par l'implantation de « dark store », ces magasins fermés au public, utilisés exclusivement pour préparer des commandes en ligne : « Les clients sont désormais prêts à mettre le prix pour ce service. Les consommateurs sont passés des commerçants de quartier aux "dark stores". Ces "dark stores" permettent de mieux contrôler les stocks, de préparer les commandes plus rapidement, et d'avoir une visibilité en temps réel sur les produits disponibles. Le taux de satisfaction de la commande chez Zomato est aujourd'hui de 99,9 %. Les clients reçoivent presque toujours ce qu'ils commandent ». En Inde, la Confédération des commerçants, qui représente près de 90 millions de petites entreprises, appelle à un mouvement de protestation nationale contre la prolifération des « dark stores ».

For nearly a decade, Swiggy and Zomato have fed our hunger and dominated prime real estate on our phone screens, leaving very little room for any serious challengers.Most who tried to break in got their fingers burnt before they even got started. But now, a new player has decided to throw its hat into the ring.  This is a player that has some experience taking on titans, though the last time around it was in a completely different space.
