Zomato on Monday refuted news reports of shutting down Instant, its 10-minute food delivery service. Less than a year after its debut, the NSE-listed company is closing its 10-minute food delivery service ‘Zomato Instant’ as it strives for profitability in the face of challenging market conditions, The Economic Times reported on Monday. “It didn’t look like it would turn profitable. The company was not getting the daily volume required to even pay the fixed costs. It wasn't scaling up to that level,” a person aware of the development said.
