Palicha was referring to a statement made by Goyal in an interview to an economic daily.

"We think the total burn for all companies in quick commerce is around ₹5,000 crore per quarter, conservatively speaking. Substantially more than half of this is by Zepto," Goyal had said in the interview.

He had said that Zomato's Blinkit is burning around ₹35 crore per month on an average.
