That is, Zomato will now focus on investing in Grofers instead of running the business model of in-house grocery delivery. Grofers also has a big market in the grocery delivery market and the company focuses on this segment. Since Zomato did not get the expected success with in-house delivery, it is discontinuing this service.
Let us tell you that Zomato used to provide this service in some selected places and under this service, customers were given their orders within 45 minutes. In July, the company had launched grocery delivery service under a marketplace model, through which customers could order goods online from shops located in their vicinity.
Apart from Zomato, there is also another online food delivery platform company Swiggy, which provides online grocery delivery service. At the same time, there is another platform called Dunzo, which is popular in this segment. Both these platforms give delivery in 15-20 minutes. Their business model is also different as they manage their own warehousing etc. So Zomato has also decided not to focus on in-house delivery.
