The management also noted that on the profitability front, the food delivery business hit an important milestone last quarter by getting to adjusted Ebitda break-even.

“Our focus on profitability has sharpened over the past few months with the change in market context, without compromising our focus on growth. We are doing that by assessing everything with a critical lens and allocating resources by taking a long-term view to sustainable growth, as well as profit,” said Deepinder Goyal, CEO at Zomato.

Talking on inflation, the management noted that there is definitely a negative impact on the demand side but it is hard to quantify that in our business at this point, given multiple moving parts.

"Similarly, on the cost side, the margin is getting negatively impacted due to higher fuel costs and wage inflation. Having said that, the overall efficiency gains have helped us make good progress on improving contribution margins," said Akshant Goyal, CFO, Zomato.

The stock rose as much as 8.8 percent in intraday deals to ₹50.45.
