Yes Securities believes the company’s asset-light business model, cutting‐edge engineering, and automation capabilities will help it leverage operating efficiencies and improve profitability in the coming years. The brokerage has listed a unified infrastructure network, proprietary technology stack and capabilities, vast amount of data intelligence and R&D, and strong relationship with a diversified customer base as key positives of the company.

2. While Brokerage house Angel Brokerage said that for 9MFY22, the company has reported an EBITDA loss of Rs 232 crores and a net loss of Rs 891 crores. In terms of revenue, Delhivery posted robust growth of 82 percent during this period and it is expected to turn EBITDA positive by the FY22-end. A slowdown in e-commerce services in India will impact the company due to its huge dependence on express parcel services, and concentration of select customers. Its top-five customers contribute 41 percent of the total revenue.
