More figures from the call
“I think Sachin, at the cost of repeating, I think we do maintain the fact that store addition is going to be a factor of growth, right, because we are present in the 130 plus cities that we are.”
“As you can also see from the overall capacity utilization, last quarter, we increased it by close to 10% on an orders per day per store.”
“We typically start the decision to open a new store in that zip code when the store crosses around 2,000 orders a day. And by the time the store is up, which typically takes 2-3 months, those stores start doing roughly 2,300-2,500 orders per day.”
“As I mentioned, every quarter, roughly 5-7% of network is close to that.”
“So we will start the process in the middle of current quarter, and it is expected to fully transition over the next two to three quarters.”
“many of whom are coming into either they are in the final years of college or coming into employment and first-time jobbers and who will form the consuming class 3-5 years out, right, in a significant way.”
