Stars
Blinkit Quick Commerce is Zomato's Star, owning ~45-50% market share in India's quick commerce by late 2025 and outpacing competitors.
GOV jumped 134% YoY to ~₹9,421 crore in Q4 FY25, showing growth comparable to Zomato's core food delivery.
It's scaling via a 2,000-store dark store buildout that absorbs capital, yet guidance points to adjusted EBITDA break-even ahead.

In 2025 Hyperpure delivered 93% YoY revenue growth, crossing ₹1,800 crore quarterly revenue and trimming losses as unit economics improved toward self-sustainability.
Zomato Gold Loyalty Program is a Star: by mid-2025 it had over 10 million active members, fueling high-velocity growth and creating a moat around Zomato's ecosystem.
Gold members order about 2x as often as non-members, lifting order frequency and improving unit economics-average revenue per Gold user rose ~40% vs non-members in FY2025.
This high-share, high-growth subscription layer is central to defending Zomato against Swiggy and entrants like ONDC, supporting higher lifetime value and lower churn.
Advertising & Platform Monetization
Zomato's ad-tech is a Star: 20m+ monthly transacting users in 2025 powered hyper-local targeting, driving high-margin ad sales as sponsored placements and higher take-rates across Zomato and Blinkit boosted ad revenue by ~48% YoY to ₹1,250 crore in FY2025.

BCG Matrix for Zomato: strategic placement of core segments-food delivery (Star), dining-out (Cash Cow), new ventures (Question Marks), low-return units (Dogs)
One-page Zomato BCG Matrix placing each business unit in a quadrant for quick strategic decisions.
Cash Cows
The Core Food Delivery (Metro Markets) has matured into Zomato's cash cow, holding a steady 55-58% market share in Tier 1 cities and delivering reliable profits. By Q4 FY25 the segment recorded an adjusted EBITDA margin of 5.2% of Net Order Value (NOV), generating ₹X.XX billion in operating cash to fund Blinkit's expansion. High brand loyalty and efficient unit economics sustain low acquisition costs and strong repeat rates. This metro business remains the primary liquidity source for strategic investments and margin stability.
The Restaurant Discovery and Reviews cash cow remains market leader in India, driving Zomato Limited FY2025 revenue via listings and basic ads-contributing an estimated ₹1,850 crore in high-margin revenue and ~22% gross margin while requiring minimal capex.
Zomato's dining-out payments process an annualized GOV of over $500 million (FY2025), capturing a meaningful slice of offline restaurant transactions and generating steady fee income.
This segment is already profitable due to higher average ticket sizes vs delivery, delivering strong gross margins and predictable cash flow.
Low operational overhead and rich transaction data improve unit economics and cross-sell potential for payments and loyalty products.
Platform Fee Revenue
Platform Fee Revenue: Zomato's mandatory platform fee, set at ₹6-₹10 per order in 2025, yields a high-margin, recurring stream; at 450M orders, it adds ₹2.7-₹4.5 billion annually straight to operating profit with negligible extra marketing or capex.
This is classic milking: mature market share, low incremental cost, predictable cash flow that supports margins and shareholder returns.
- Fee: ₹6-₹10/order (2025)
- Orders: 450 million/year
- Revenue lift: ₹2.7-₹4.5 billion/year
