Very Good comparison and example.How an innovative idea and it’s implementation can put one ahead of established and experienced person,family and entity.

In a calculated strategic maneuver, the leading foodtech giant Zomato, spearheaded by Deepinder Goyal, has unveiled plans to inject a substantial sum of Rs 400 crore (equivalent to $48 million) into two of its critical subsidiaries, Blinkit, founded by Albinder Dhindsa, and Zomato Entertainment. This investment drive aims to bolster Blinkit's swift commerce operations while reinforcing Zomato Entertainment's pursuits in the live events and ticketing sectors. With Rs 300 crore ($36 million) earmarked for Blinkit's expansion and Rs 100 crore ($12 million) allocated to Zomato Entertainment, the decision underscores Zomato's strategic vision and commitment to diversifying its portfolio. This infusion follows Zomato's sustained support for Blinkit, marked by a total investment of Rs 2,300 crore ($277 million) since its acquisition in August 2022. Notably, Blinkit's impressive performance, achieving EBITDA profitability and a robust 19.4% revenue growth in Zomato's Q4 FY24 results, has garnered attention from analysts, with Goldman Sachs suggesting a valuation exceeding that of Zomato itself. #Zomato #Blinkit #ZomatoEntertainment #DeepinderGoyal #AlbinderDhindsa #FoodTech #Investment #QuickCommerce #LiveEvents #startup77

“Haldiram’s vs. Zomato: Two Icons, Two Journeys, One India” In 1937, Ganga Bishan Agarwal began crafting #bhujia in a small shop in Bikaner. Nine decades later, #Haldiram’s is a $10B snack empire, rooted in #tradition and family ownership. The founding family still holds 90%—their collective wealth is $9B. In 2008, two tech entrepreneurs launched #Zomato from a shared dream. By 2021, Zomato went public, with a valuation of $10B. But rapid scaling came at a cost—#dilution. Today, the founders own just 7%, or $2B. Two iconic companies, two contrasting stories: • #Ownership vs. #Speed: Haldiram’s prioritizes generational wealth and control. Zomato embraced fast growth, distributing ownership widely. • #Traditional vs. #Digital: Haldiram’s thrives on products and #FMCG; Zomato is a #platformeconomy powerhouse. • #Sustainability vs. #Scalability: Haldiram’s journey is one of patience and #legacy. Zomato represents the high-stakes game of modern #capitalism. As an #investmentbanker, these are the kinds of questions that always come to mind when we’re analyzing a company: • What’s the #longtermvision of this company? • Is it building for #generationalwealth or sprinting toward #marketdominance? • How will the company balance #growth with retaining #ownership? Haldiram’s and Zomato both created immense value, but through drastically different paths. While Haldiram’s built an enduring #familybusiness, Zomato leveraged technology and capital to accelerate growth exponentially. Capital has become a time machine, turning multi-generational wealth creation into a one-generation sprint. But this acceleration comes with trade-offs. Can we strike a balance between #speed and #sustainability, between #wealth and #ownership?
