They have corrected a bit of late as well. What is the sense on the prices going forward? Are they expected to be as volatile or what are the levels that you are watching out for?

The stock seems to be doing well over the last one month and ever since it is listing we have very bullish brokerage notes coming in for Swiggy as well. What is making Zomato more attractive than Swiggy to hold in your portfolio right now? Manish Sonthalia: So, not specifically commenting on Swiggy because regulation prohibit us from commenting about stocks that are not a part of our portfolio, but I would look at the entire space like this, that the TAM, the size of the opportunity is humongous.
