Priya Foods (Ramoji Group) needed quick-commerce paid media that could scale without watering down brand efficiency. The brief was simple: prove where ROAS actually compounds — and cut where it does not.

What the April 2026 window showed

From the verified CXO briefing window: ₹5.07L spend produced ₹18.98L revenue and 16,388 units — a blended ROAS of 3.74x across platforms. That blended figure is not “above 8x.” The above-8x proof lives in brand and category keywords on Blinkit.

Blended ROAS

Blended across platforms, from the verified CXO briefing.
  • Priya Foods brand keywords on Blinkit: 33–46x ROAS — the hireable proof (above 8x)
  • Non-brand: 4.8–5.0x · Competitor: 0.7–1.0x (the leak)
  • Tomato Pickle KW: 70x — brand-keyword illustration inside the split, not the headline flex
  • Priya Foods by platform: Blinkit overall ~7.1x · BigBasket cumulative: 5.86x · Zepto W2: 1.9x (diagnosed)

Brand vs non-brand vs competitor architecture

On Blinkit we split spend into three buckets and measured each with the same ROAS lens:

Verified Priya Foods results on Blinkit. Bars show the reported range.
  • Brand: 33–46x — the scaling spine
  • Non-brand: 4.8–5.0x — useful, but not the same efficiency
  • Competitor: 0.7–1.0x — exposed as the leak

Protecting high-ROAS brand and category keywords, then starving weak competitor spend, is how brand ROAS stayed above 8x while overall platform efficiency held near ~7.1x.

FAQ

Was Priya’s blended ROAS above 8x?

No. April blended was 3.74x. Above-8x is verified on Priya Foods’ brand keywords on Blinkit (33–46x) and Tomato Pickle KW (70x).

What about Zepto?

Zepto W1 was 3.1x and W2 1.9x in the diagnosed window — a brand gap vs Blinkit, not a scale-first platform in that period.
