Swiggy net loss widens to Rs 1081 crore in Q4FY25
Swiggy reported a net loss of Rs 1,081.18 crore for the quarter ended March 2025 (Q4 FY25), nearly doubling from Rs 554.77 crore in the same quarter last year.
Revenue from operations rose 44.8% year-on-year to Rs 4410.02 crore in Q4FY25.
The company's widening losses were primarily attributed to elevated spending on its quick commerce arm, Instamart. Swiggy increased investments in customer acquisition, dark store infrastructure, and marketing efforts amid intensifying competition, resulting in higher operating expenses.
Total expenditure jumped 52.93% year-on-year to Rs 5,609.67 crore in Q4 FY25. Employee benefits expenses rose 25.79% YoY to Rs 695.60 crore, while spending on advertising and sales promotion skyrocketed 135.46% to Rs 977.72 crore.
Platform Gross Order Value (B2C GOV) rose ~40% YoY to clock Rs 12,888 crore. However, consolidated adjusted EBITDA loss increased to Rs 732 crore due to significant growth investments in quick-commerce.
The food delivery business Gross Order Value (GOV) rose 17.6% YoY to Rs 7,347 crore. Adjusted EBITDA grew 15.4% QoQ and over 5x YoY to Rs 212 crore, and strong efficiency and execution drove a margin expansion to 2.9% of GOV, up from 0.5% a year ago. The growth was backed by innovative services like speedier deliveries through Bolt (which powers 12% Food delivery orders already) and differentiated propositions like the top-tier subscription programme One BLCK continued to drive up consumer traction.
Instamart accelerated its GOV growth to 101% YoY (19.5% QoQ), clocking Rs 4,670 crore in Q4. Average order value increased by 13.3% YoY to Rs 527. Instamart added 316 new darkstores (+45% QoQ), its highest-ever during a quarter; driving up active darkstore area to 4 mn sq ft (+62% QoQ) in line with guidance. Led by the growth investments, contribution margin declined from -4.6% in Q3FY25 to -5.6% in Q4FY25 and adjusted EBITDA loss increased to Rs 840 crore.
Sriharsha Majety, MD & Group CEO, Swiggy, said "FY25 was a year of many firsts for Swiggy. We launched multiple new apps, across Instamart, Snacc and recently, Pyng; all of which are aimed at opening up new user-segments and markets.

Overall, we remain focused on growth, on the back of delivering unparalleled convenience to consumers."

This Mumbai Auto Driver Earns Rs 5-8 Lakh A Month Using This Simple Trick Outside US Consulate
An autorickshaw driver near the US Consulate in Mumbai earns Rs 5-8 lakh monthly by offering bag storage to visa applicants, highlighting grassroots entrepreneurship Outside the towering gates of the US Consulate in Mumbai, a story of grassroots entrepreneurship is quietly unfolding, one that is now grabbing national attention. It's not a startup pitch from a boardroom or a tech innovation from Silicon Valley, but a street-smart solution from an ordinary autorickshaw driver, now reportedly earning between Rs 5 to Rs 8 lakh every month, without even driving his auto. This unconventional business, shared by Lenskart's Product Leader Rahul Rupani in a viral LinkedIn post, centres around a seemingly simple problem: what do you do with your bags when you're barred from taking them inside the US Consulate? Thousands of visa applicants visit the consulate every day. One of the strictest rules in place is the prohibition on bags inside the premises. Add to that, the absence of any official locker facility nearby, and you've got a major logistical headache for applicants carrying documents, electronics, and personal items. That's where the unnamed autorickshaw driver steps in. 'I was outside the US Consulate this week for my visa appointment, when security told me I couldn't carry my bag inside. No lockers. No suggestions," Rupani wrote in his post, adding that while he stood clueless on the footpath, an auto driver waved at him, saying, 'Sir, bag de do. Safe rakhunga, mera roz ka hai. Rs 1,000 charge hai (Sir, give me the bag. I'll keep it safe. I do this daily. Just Rs 1,000)." At first glance, it may seem like an expensive offer but for someone about to miss a crucial interview or risk losing a visa slot, it's a small price to pay. According to Rupani, this enterprising driver parks outside the consulate daily, offering his 'bag storage" service to 20–30 customers each day. That's anywhere from Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000 daily, an income that rivals or exceeds that of senior professionals in the corporate world. But this is no random hustle. The driver, Rupani says, has even built an operational model in collaboration with a local police officer who provides access to secure locker facilities. The auto serves merely as the 'point of contact"; once trust is established, the bags are transported and safely stored at the designated lockers. He has created a model built entirely on trust, Rupani said. With an app or office or an MBA degree, he earns with just his street smartness and a deep understanding of people. 'This is entrepreneurship in its rawest and most powerful form," he added. While the authenticity of the post has not been officially verified by News18, it has sparked a flurry of online discussion about innovation, hustle culture, and the growing gig economy in the country.

Thaman S's background score heightens the drama effectively, and the cinematography offers a gritty, lived-in aesthetic. Action sequences, while often overindulgent, are slick and impactful. The dialogues, penned by Saurabh Gupta and Sai Madhav Burra, are over-the-top and theatrical—often more memorable than the scenes themselves.'However, the same review pointed out that the narrative pacing became a concern after the interval. 'The second half drags, and the film's 153-minute runtime begins to weigh heavily. A forced item number featuring Urvashi Rautela feels unnecessary and only adds to the film's bloated feel.'On the professional front, Sunny Deol is not slowing down.
