Investor sentiment towards quick commerce is currently positive.
Swiggy believes there's room for multiple players in the quick commerce segment, and it won't be a duopoly as is the case with food delivery.

Swiggy aims to continuously improve profitability on each of its segments.
Swiggy is testing a new line of business with Rare, a private member's club.
