Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.
medium
Geopolitical volatility and fuel cost impact
Rising crude prices could increase logistics costs, though management notes fuel is <10% of costs and contracts have fuel surcharge clauses.
Competition from captive logistics arms (e.g., Amazon Shipping)
Amazon's global shipping network expansion could pose competitive pressure, but management believes captive arms deprioritize external customers during peaks and have not gained meaningful traction in India.
Execution risk in dark store expansion
Scaling from 15 to 100 dark stores in FY27 involves significant operational complexity and capital allocation; unit economics at scale are unproven.
