Bistro may look like a response to Swiggy and Rapido’s 'budget' food delivery apps, but the similarities end at affordability—the playbooks are fundamentally different.
The fintech’s financial services business has done reasonably well in Q4 FY26. But upping its lending game without the NBFC tag will be a tall task.
The RBI’s unusually harsh order raises deeper questions about management credibility—and whether investors should take assurances at face value.
