For platform businesses the line that matters is how fast losses narrow as revenue scales; contribution margin and customer metrics carry the story the statements only hint at. The quarterly statements do not carry contribution margin, order or user growth and cash burn; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹0.10 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹135.97 trades at 1,359.7 times trailing earnings.
