Deepinder Goyal, Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our focus on profitability has sharpened the last few months with changes in the market context, without reducing our focus on growth. We do that by assessing everything with a critical lens and allocating resources by taking a long -term view for sustainable growth, and profit. “

The company says that it has reached adjusted EBITDA (income before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization). EBITDA loss stands at ₹ 150 Crore compared to ₹ 220 Crore reported in Q4.

Akshant Goyal, Head of Finance, said, “Revenue growth was driven by 10 percent of QoQ growth in the value of gross orders (Gov) and revenue growth per order. GOV growth in turn is driven by strong growth in the volume of sequences and mild growth in the average order value compared to the previous quarter. “

Some CEO structures

Zomato internally changed his name to ‘Abadi’ and plans to move to various CEO structures, according to Slack messages sent to employees by CEO and MD, Deepinder Goyal.

“We switch from the company where I am a CEO to a place where we will have many CEOs that run each of our business (for example: Zomato, Blinkit, Hyperpure, Feeding India), all act as colleagues with each other and work as A super-East with each other to build a large and smooth organization, “Goyal said in the message.

He added that Zomato was mature from running a single business to run several large companies. A larger entity over many of these companies will be called eternal. “The word Abadi is the mission statement itself. Eternal means forever, something that will last more than just a few lives. Without limits, eternal, eternal, endless, permanent – are some other words that can be used to describe eternal, “Goyal added in an internal message.

Scrip Zomato ended at ₹ 46.35, down 1.07 percent, in the market closed on Monday.
