Quick commerce is fast evolving from a BigBasket/Kirana alternative to an Amazon alternative 💪🏻

Product Marketing Manager

- Amazon's decision to not enter India's quick-commerce market is proving costly as firms like Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart thrive.
- Quick-commerce in India is growing at over 125%, while traditional e-commerce growth lags at 11-12%.
- Amazon's rival, Flipkart, has launched its own quick-commerce service, Flipkart Minutes, to capture urban market share.
- Analysts suggest Amazon's focus has shifted to its cloud business, with $12.7 billion earmarked for AWS operations in India.
- Regulatory challenges and strategic missteps have hindered Amazon's growth, allowing competitors to outpace the e-commerce giant.

Amazon's Missteps in India's Quick-Commerce Market

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

While I'm proud of these two revolutionising the quick commerce space, I somehow have a bad feeling about this

Profits aren't coming, money is flowing
Don't know what the VCs are seeking?
Why bake a a pie that you can't eat later?

Too much money too soon, where have we seen that?

Consultant

All the naysayers who said this is ridiculous will slowly be proved wrong

This is BIG. Such bullishness on quick commerce.

Growth Manager

- BigBasket plans to pivot entirely to quick commerce, offering only 10-30 minute deliveries
- Move aims to capitalize on growing 10-15 minute grocery delivery market
- BB Now already contributes over 50% of BigBasket's total revenue
- Company targeting $1.5 billion in sales this fiscal year, with quick commerce expected to make up 60%
- Shift comes as BigBasket eyes IPO in 2025 and aims for profitability

BigBasket to completely pivot to quick commerce

- Quick commerce success in India has led to new business models in food, fashion, and pharmacy. 
- Early-stage funds like Accel and India Quotient are investing in these startups. 
- Rapid food-delivery startup Swish has raised about $2 million from Accel. 
- Blitz, a network of dark stores, is building capabilities for consumer brands and discussing a follow-on round of Rs 50 crore with IvyCap. 
- Quick commerce has compelled ecommerce majors and brands to accelerate delivery.

Flipkart Minutes Expands to Gurugram Amidst Quick Commerce Boom

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I feel like BigBasket competing with Zepto, Blinkit, Instamart 🥲

- Myntra is testing a four-hour delivery service in Bengaluru, New Delhi, and two other cities.
- The service will initially offer a smaller selection of items to customers.
- Myntra plans to expand this service to multiple cities by the end of the year.
- The quick commerce sector in India is booming, led by Zepto, Blinkit, and Swiggy Instamart.
- Myntra's move follows its M-Express service and aims to boost sales with faster deliveries.

Myntra Joins Quick Commerce Race with 4-Hour Deliveries in 4 Cities

Ab ho gya na fundraise? What's the point of saying these things now. You are not listed. You have already raised close to $1bn. It's not like this is bringing new customers.
What's the point of all this PR now?
Why not focus on execution instead of saying things that will bite you in the ass in the future

Zepto - I don't understand

Product Owner

- Flipkart aims to have around 100 dark stores operational by the launch of Flipkart Minutes, currently accessible to select users in certain pincodes.
- The move is part of Flipkart’s strategy to compete with Zepto, Blinkit, and Swiggy Instamart this festive season, focusing on fast delivery for non-grocery segments.
- Dark stores are being tested with employees at Flipkart’s Bengaluru headquarters, with plans to stabilize and scale up the service in specific areas.
- Flipkart’s quick commerce push is driven by revenue potential, with top platforms like Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, and Blinkit expected to surpass $1 Bn in revenue for FY24.
- This development follows Flipkart’s expansion into digital payments and fintech products, highlighting its strategy to adapt to the evolving digital commerce landscape.

Flipkart Plans 100 Dark Stores Ahead of Big Billion Days Sale

What even is going to be the differentiator? 
  
 Zepto kills it at speed. Blinkit kills it at speed and depth of catalogue. 
  
 Hard to imagine where Flipkart can stand. Especially given Q Commerce can work in only Tier 1 and 2 where these brands have a heavy footing.  
  
 Flipkart does not even have a brand presence anymore in top 5 cities!

Well this seems to be a well thought move to penetrate Tier 2/3/4 cities in India?

Why existing companies barely succeed at new things... Flipkart finally woke up to the Q Commerce opportunity 😮‍💨

The Morning Vine 🍇

Saw a thread by Deedy, praising qCommerce in India, and then saw few replies telling why it would/wouldn't survive in future? Thoughts...

Will quick commerce eventually die in India, like it did in USA?

Quick commerce isn't easy. BigBasket tried & hasn't been 'quick enough'

Swiggy is slowly becoming unusable. They have already increased minimum amount in Instamart for free delivery from 99 to 149 to 199 now. This is really becoming a problem. Is there any other alternative to this? They are slowly showing their true colours now that they are aiming profitability.

Swiggy FEE Mafia

Yeah. But that's the price you'll have to pay for convenience. They were always gonna start making money one day

Sales

Flipkart is trying to enter two different market segments at the same time: Quick Commerce and UPI. There are already proven players in the space and it isn't possible to enter these segments without loads of investment. I wonder what Flipkarts game plan is and how it is going to execute it
