The Core Business generated ₹527 million of adjusted EBITDA at a 12.8% margin. Meanwhile, the Emerging Business, which includes checkout, marketing solutions, cross-border, and omnichannel services, lifted its contribution margin from 9.3% to 15.3%. Its rupee contribution grew from ₹98 million to ₹277 million, though it still recorded an EBITDA margin of -24%, improved from -38% previously.
Within the Emerging segment, Martech revenue surged 193% year-on-year, followed by Omnichannel at 92%. Cross-border revenue declined slightly by 2.3%. The percentage of Core Business merchants using Emerging products rose by 150 basis points to 8.8%, indicating deeper cross-selling penetration.
Platform Scale and Operations
As of the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Shiprocket reported trailing twelve-month GMV of ₹346,618 million. The platform processed 216 million unique transactions and served 224,314 active merchants.
Key product developments during the quarter included:
- RADAR: An AI-powered courier intelligence tool flagging SLA breaches and RTO risk at the pincode level.
- AI Ads Stack: A platform for static, editable, shorts, and 360° creatives, plus AI Assist and AI Calling for order confirmation.
- Appointment-based Delivery: Cargo deliveries to quick commerce dark stores with integrations into platforms such as Blinkit and Zepto.
- Quikpay: A one-tap UPI checkout feature showing shoppers their preferred UPI app with instant discounts.
- Steal Deal: Limited-time offers inside the cart to increase average order value.
- AI Assist Chatbot: Instant shopper recommendations on merchant storefronts.
What the Numbers Show
The divergence between segment growth rates highlights a strategic shift in revenue composition. While the cash-generative Core Business grew steadily at 22%, the Emerging Business expanded at more than three times that rate (70%). This rapid scaling in higher-margin emerging services drove the overall contribution margin expansion of 124 bps, even as absolute investment in these new lines increased. The surge in adjusted EBITDA from ₹10 million to ₹89 million indicates that the operational leverage from the Core Business is increasingly offsetting the losses in the Emerging segment, leading to a narrower net loss despite aggressive top-line growth.
