with NOV growth of c20% y-o-y and CM margin to have largely been sustained at * Employed by a non-US affiliate of HSBC Securities (USA) Inc, and is

have grown 1QFY27 GOV at c19% y-o-y, slower than in recent quarters, with CM

improving slightly q-o-q, but EBITDA margin declining q-o-q due to wage hikes.

Quick Commerce (QC): We expect Blinkit will have reached c19% q-o-q NOV
