2-Min Summary
Swiggy reported Q4 FY26 results with a focus on quick commerce (QC) achieving contribution margin break-even in March, exiting at +110 bps CM. Food delivery grew 18-20% YoY, with steady-state margins of 5%. QC GOV reached ₹1 lakh crore medium-term ambition, driven by differentiation via private labels (e.g., 'Noise') and improved take rates. Management emphasized balancing growth and profitability, deliberately churning low-AOV users to improve unit economics. MTU additions slowed to 0.5M net, but high-value cohorts retained well. Risks include sustained competitive intensity from multiple players, which could pressure marketing spend and delay EBITDA profitability. Capex is moderating after warehousing investments.

We are not going to take the route of buying growth.
If fighting for short-term relevance and going after spending in places that will hurt us later, I think that will compromise our long-term relevance.
The biggest thing for us to be solved is the proposition – that is the only structural way to keep users engaged and sticky.
