Flipkart Enters India's 10-Minute Quick Delivery Market

  • Walmart-owned Flipkart has launched Flipkart Minutes, a quick commerce service in Bengaluru, offering deliveries within 10 to 15 minutes.
  • The service includes a wide range of items, from groceries to smartphones, with free delivery on orders over Rs 100 ($1.20).
  • Quick commerce is rapidly growing in India, with players like Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart expanding into various categories.
  • Analysts are optimistic about the sector, with Goldman Sachs valuing Blinkit higher than its parent company Zomato's food delivery operations.
  • Amazon remains focused on same-day delivery for Prime members and is reportedly in talks to acquire a stake in Swiggy.

First you will get the benefits for free and then the convenience fee when you get hooked. Casual habit of going out for a walk and getting a few essentials will be going away and everyone will need gyms to take care of their health

Yes, initially give benefits for almost free and then get wm hooked, then increase prices af, just like jio did.

Just like food delivery too

I think it’s shitty and borderline stealing if a grapevine affiliated account post such updates without posting the original link. I mean you mentioned TechCrunch and that’s great, but you should have linked. This is not a one off either, i have seen this happen on many posts from the account.

Please post the links as well. If it were a user, it was understandable. Not excusable for a company.

It'll be slowly expanded to more users and pincodes. It's on a gradual scale-up phase right now.

Only small percentage of users will be able to use this feature for now. Once systems are working at good levels and bug resolves, percentage will be increased and then opened to all
