3 Months Since the ARREST of a Great Patriot - Sonam Wangchuk.
And the Nation has already moved on… Remember this, A Nation of Cowards will Never Rise to become a Global Superpower.
Memory is the strongest form of resistance. In a democracy, questions shouldn't be met with detention; only with answers. In the end, truth will prevail!
Amazon’s 10-Min Delivery Ends Blinkit’s Path to Profit
Most Probable Outcome of Companies that Compete with Amazon:
1. Endless price wars & discounts.
2. Amazon opens 2 dark stores per day.
3. Smart Money will quietly exit Eternal.
High Valuation, No Moat – How It Will End:
Q2FY26: Average Monthly Active Users
Blinkit: 2.1 cr
Amazon India: 20 cr (10 times)
(Plus, 50 cr+ Google Play app downloads)
Why Moats & Technology Command Top-Dollar Valuations?
Amazon’s Moat (The “Unfair Advantage”)
1. Amazon Prime: Member Loyalty
2. Amazon Prime: Video & Music
3. Amazon Pay: Payment Wallet
4. Amazon Rewards & Discounts
5. Personalized Deals (User Data)
6. Alexa Shopping
7. AI Agents – Customer Service

8. Buy-Now-Pay-Later Platform
Axio $200M Cash Acquisition

9. Consumer Loans & BNPL
(NBFC License Acquired)
10. Endless Cash-Burn Ability
(From parent company)
Blinkit’s Moat
1. Zero. No unfair advantage.
2. Eternal is not a technology company. It is a platform.
Switching Costs: Moat of a Business
“When a man tells his wife to change her brand of Amul Butter or Maggi Noodles for the children, she will change her man.”
But when the man tells her to change her grocery platform from Blinkit to Amazon Now for better discounts, she will do it without blinking an eyelid.
Why Eternal & Other Indian Promoters Fail to Build Moats
Amazon spent decades building its moats; and did not care for profits.
For Amazon, customer obsession comes first.
For Indian companies, stock valuations come first.
Once you have an enormous valuation, you are under pressure to meet profit expectations.
Customer obsession (moat-building) is not your goal altogether.
You’re a prisoner of your investor expectations.
ENDQUOTE: What Should Zomato Investors Do Now?
“The highest of all switching costs is when people have to admit they are wrong.” – Charlie Munger
Your ego will not let you admit your mistake until the kingdom has been lost.
Ego is your enemy in investing.
Get rid it, and great wins will follow.
