Insightful. This is about Blinkit, and their ROCE indicates profitability after 3 years.

OP, do you have an insight about Zepto, which says their stores become profitable after 4 months?

And also, do they also have a franchise model or are their stores COCO? (Considering their slow expansion and concentrated presence in only a few tier 1 cities)

@DaringTrain your knowledge is also appreciated. Do let me know in case you have any insight upon this :)

Isn't that less? Considering profit goes fully to the person, it'll be taxable. Am I missing something here? The time to get back your investment is also around 3.5 years.

20% return is the max you can get out there . There is no other way you can have these level margins. And 3.5 or even 5 years is not a lot to recover your investment .

Is it kind of franchisee model?
