Zomato: Food-delivery platform Zomato has pulled out of around 225 small cities last month, the company said in its December-quarter earnings report. "Recently, in the month of January, we have exited ~225 smaller cities, which contributed 0.3% of our GOV in Q3FY23. The performance of these cities was not very good in the last few quarters" Zomato Chief Financial Officer Akshat Goyal said in the letter to the shareholder of the company.
According to Zomato's annual report for 2021-22 released in August last year, the food ordering and delivery business was present in more than 1,000 cities.
