Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal said that,

He added that,

“This business is also synergistic with our core food business, giving Zomato the right to win in the long-term… This foray into the next big category is timely as our existing food business is steadily growing towards profitability.”

Blinkit's annual turnover for the previous three fiscal years was also disclosed in the filing: Rs.263 crore in FY22, Rs.200 crore in FY21, and Rs.165 crore in FY20. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, SoftBank, the largest shareholder in Blinkit, would receive 28.71 crore Zomato shares, followed by Tiger Global with 12.34 crore, BCCL with 1.5 crore, and South Korean investor DAOL with 3.66 crore.
