🚚 The Lord of All Deliveries? Why Shadowfax is Charging into Dalal Street

You have seen them in blue and mint-green jackets, moving through traffic even late at night. They are the people behind the “deliver it now” culture. Whether it is groceries from Zepto or clothes from Meesho, Shadowfax is often the one delivering your order.

• High Valuation: At an EV/EBITDA of about 106 x, Shadowfax is priced higher than Delhivery. Investors are paying for future growth, not current profits.
