Merchant snapshot

Inhloko yokudayisa ngokushesha (ecosystem ye-Eternal/Zomato), incike enethiwekhi yezitolo ezimnyama nasekudonsweni kwethrafikhi ukulethwa kokudla, kufanelekile ekuhlinzekweni kwemikhiqizo yezinto ezithengwa njalo/ezitolo; usayizi mkhulu kodwa ukusetshenziswa kwemali kuyenyuka, indawo yokuxoxisana kwabahlinzeki iyancipha.

Entry requirements

Kusebenza ngemodeli yokuthenga/ukuhlinzeka (vendor/supplier) kunokuba i-marketplace evulekile: amabrendi ahlinzeka ngesiteshi sabahlinzeki be-Blinkit noma abasabalalisi abagunywaziwe, ayikho inqubo yokuvula isitolo esemthethweni, kugxilwe ekuhlolweni kwe-SKU + ezingxoxweni zokusabalalisa (imihlahlandlela ye-blusteak/digitaldawn); ukudla kudinga i-FSSAI, izimpahla ezijwayelekile zidinga i-GSTIN (taxgarden); inkampani engumzali i-Eternal iyinkampani esemakethe, izithiyo zokubambisana nokuhleleka kwezivumelwano kuphezulu.

Fee structure

Ayikho ikhomishini ye-marketplace; inkundla ithola umehluko wentengo yokuthenga nokudayisa futhi ikhokhisa izimali zokumaketha/zezokufaka zamabrendi (ukuthola imali ezikhangisweni ze-q-comm kuyisimomotheka somkhakha, ET BrandEquity); ukuqhathaniswa kwamanani kumabrendi e-D2C kubheke i-growwwtech, ngokomthombo osemthethweni/isivumelwano; inkampani engumzali iqhubeka ifaka imali engu-¥450–600 crore ukusekela ukunwetshwa (ET Retail), izinqubomgomo zezimali ziyashintsha ngokwezigaba zokunwetshwa.

Getting traffic

Izinyango ezimbili: ukudonswa kwethrafikhi yi-app yokulethwa kokudla ye-Zomato + i-app ezimele ye-Blinkit, ku-Q1 FY26 inani lama-oda okokuqala ledlula ukulethwa kokudla kwe-Zomato (NDTV Profit); ukusesha/izincomo zangaphakathi + ukumaketha okuhlangene kwamabrendi nezindawo zokukhangisa; izitolo ezimnyama zingena ezindaweni ze-Tier-2/3 zandisa isisekelo sabasebenzisi (ET Tech Top5); inzuzo yethrafikhi yezigaba ye-q-comm engu-45% yokuthenga ngesikhathi samaholidi (Business Standard).

Fulfilment & logistics

Inethiwekhi yezitolo ezimnyama inwetshwa ngokushesha + abagibeli abazisebenzelayo, kugxilwe ekulethweni kwemizuzu engu-10 (imizuzu engu-10 ilawulwa uhulumeni, Business Standard); isitoko silawulwa yinkundla ndawonye, umthengisi ubhekele ukuhlinzeka nokugcwalisa; ukulethwa nokuthenga kusebenzisana nge-ecosystem ye-Zomato (isistimu yochungechunge lokuhlinzeka i-Hyperpure).

Payments & settlement

Abahlinzeki bakhokhelwa ngokwesikhathi sokukhokhelwa (ngokusekelwe ku-invoyisi), imali i-INR, umjikelezo ngokwesivumelwano sokuthenga (ngokwesivumelwano); ayikho isistimu yokukhokhelwa yabathengi eyenziwa nge-marketplace.

Compliance

Ukubhaliswa kwe-GST ne-FSSAI yokudla kuyadingeka; ukuthobela imithetho kwezitolo ezimnyama nabasebenzi abagibeli kubhekwa (CNBC TV18 ihlaziya isakhiwo sokuqashwa se-q-comm); umkhankaso wokulethwa kwemizuzu engu-10 uqanjwe uhulumeni wafuna ukuyekwa (Business Standard); ngaphansi kohlelo lwenkampani esemakethe izivumelwano zabahlinzeki, izikhathi zokukhokhelwa nemigomo yokubuyiswa zenziwa zisemthethweni kakhulu.

Key risks

1) Ukunyuka kokusetshenziswa kwemali kwe-q-comm kudonsa phansi inkampani engumzali: inzuzo emsulwa ye-Eternal Q1 FY26 yehla ngo-90% yafinyelela u-¥25 crore (Zeebiz); 2) ukulahlekelwa kwayo kuyakhula: i-Q3 FY25 yalahlekelwa u-¥103 crore, +16% (Financial Express); 3) i-JioMart iyashesha ukulandela (ama-oda ayizigidi eziyi-1.6 ngosuku, ithi iyeyesibili, ET) kanye nempi yezibonelelo kucindezela imarjini; 4) abahlinzeki bancike egunyeni lenkundla lokuxoxisana, imigomo yesikhathi sokukhokhelwa/ukubuyiswa/amanani ingase iqiniswe ngenxa yengcindezi yokushiswa kwemali (ukuchazwa nje).

Best-fit sellers

Kufanelekile kakhulu kumabrendi nabasebalaliseli bezinto ezithengwa njalo, zasezitolo, zansuku zonke, amashomelo neziphuzo, ikakhulukazi labo abanolwazi lokuhlinzeka kwa-Zomato/Blinkit noma amandla okusabalalisa emadolobheni amakhulu; kufanelekile kumabrendi e-D2C abasebenzisa i-q-comm njengokwengezwayo ekudayiseni ngokushesha. Akufanelekile kubathengisi abancane bezinto ezingajwayelekile, zama-long-tail SKU noma abanegunya elibuthakathaka lokuxoxisana, abangakwazi ukuthwala isikhathi sokukhokhelwa, abanamarjini aphansi.
