“It’s still at pilot stage. The macro doesn’t matter because we have enough cash in the bank. If the business makes sense, we will press hard on it. Right now, we are just trying to learn if this model works and will it be applicable everywhere. We don’t want to make big mistakes with Zomato Instant,” Goyal added.
Goyal also told CNBC-TV18 that the company will not infuse any significant money into the instant food delivery service at the moment.
