Initially focussed on delivering daily essentials to doorsteps, it is now evolving to influence consumer behaviour by offering a wide range of products, beyond just groceries, with extremely short delivery times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This shift has not only transformed the nature of quick commerce but has also pushed established players like Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, and Zomato\u2019s Blinkit to broaden their offerings. These companies are now venturing into electronics, clothing, and footwear, while also launching platforms for quick food delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notably, the three giants together reported over <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/features\/zepto-turn-in-the-spotlight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1 Bn in revenue in FY24<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> while a report estimates that the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chryseum.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Quick-Commerce-Industry.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quick commerce industry in India has seen a sales surge of 280%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the last two years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such has been its sudden rise that many project quick commerce platforms to eventually eat into the market share of traditional ecommerce platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fearful of missing this opportunity, Flipkart has already entered the burgeoning space with \u201cMinutes\u201d and Amazon has begun piloting its quick commerce offerings under a new label called Tez.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to established ecommerce brands, a wave of new startups and conglomerates has entered the market, eager to replicate this success and claim their share of the quick commerce space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Nykaa and Myntra have been experimenting with this for apparel deliveries, Swish wants to utilise the model to bring piping hot quick-to-prepare dishes to users within \u201c10 minutes\u201d. And this is just the tip of the iceberg as many new players in the ecosystem are now looking to emulate the growth trajectory of the \u201cTrinity\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a new wave of quick commerce players and adopters continue to spawn, we thought of curating a list of companies planning to ace the \u201c10-minute\u201d delivery game in the country. Without further ado, here\u2019s a look at the Indian quick commerce landscape outside of the Blinkit, Instamart and Zepto universe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Editor\u2019s Note: This is neither an exhaustive list nor a ranking of any kind. We have listed the startups alphabetically.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>Meet India\u2019s New Quick Commerce Brigade<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>1. Amazon India<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Indian arm of the US-based ecommerce giant has been slow to jump on the quick commerce bandwagon. Despite the rising competition, Amazon <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/buzz\/amazon-india-mulls-foray-into-quick-commerce-space-early-next-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plans to roll out<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> its quick commerce vertical in the first quarter of 2025, even though its closest rival, Flipkart, already has made its foray into the segment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon claims to be already building up to the launch, saying that it is strengthening its supply chain for grocery and essentials through Amazon Fresh and is currently targeting deliveries within 20 to 30 minutes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earlier this year, its grocery delivery arm expanded its footprint to 130 cities, including Ambala, Aurangabad, Hoshiarpur, Dharwad, and Una, doubling its presence from about 50 Indian cities a year ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside, Amazon India has also been pushing for same-day deliveries across various product lines for its Prime membership customers as it lines up quick commerce foray.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Blinkit Bistro<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being one of the biggest players in the quick commerce game, it was only natural progression for Zomato-owned Blinkit to foray into the quick food delivery space. As part of its expansion plan to boost the top line, the Albinder Dhindsa-led <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/buzz\/blinkit-launches-new-app-bistro-to-take-on-zepto-cafe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">company spun off a new app, called Bistro,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in December 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently in its pilot phase and catering to select pincodes in Gurugram, Blinkit\u2019s Bistro delivers meals, snacks, and beverages like tea and coffee in up to 15 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notably, Bistro\u2019s launch came just days after Zepto also launched a separate Zepto Cafe app to deliver beverages and snacks within 10 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. BBnow<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tata\u2019s BigBasket is arguably one of the biggest competitors to the three incumbents in the Indian quick commerce arena. Having already experimented with 30-minute deliveries for some products for the past few years, BigBasket, as a natural extension, became a full-scale quick commerce platform earlier this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BigBasket\u2019s quick commerce strategy will see the deployment of 500-600 dark stores nationwide, which will work alongside its 56-60 large warehouses. It plans to link clusters of dark stores with these warehouses to streamline the delivery of both popular grocery items and non-grocery products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As per reports, BigBasket has set its eyes on generating $1 Bn out of its projected $1.5 Bn sales for the ongoing financial year 2024-25 (FY25) through the quick commerce vertical. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. FirstClub<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded by former Cleartrip\u2019s chief executive Ayyappan R, FirstClub <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/buzz\/former-cleartrip-ceo-ayyappan-r-in-talks-with-vcs-for-quick-commerce-biz-roll-out-as-competition-heats-up\/#:~:text=Former%20Cleartrip%20CEO%20Ayyappan%20R,Out%20As%20Competition%20Heats%20Up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aims to establish itself as a Costco for India<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The startup is said to be in talks with Accel and RTP Global to raise capital for the quick commerce-centric retail venture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FirstClub will likely focus on delivering a curated selection of premium products in a timeline of 20 to 30 minutes. This quick commerce offering will also uniquely feature an offline retail presence, which is why large VCs are in talks for the seed round.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This platform is looking to offer consumers a variety of products, including unbranded goods like dry fruits and freshly ground atta, along with premium food items such as blueberries and avocados.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Flipkart Minutes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In what has been touted as Flipkart\u2019s biggest bet in years, Minutes was first piloted by the ecommerce major in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/buzz\/flipkarts-quick-commerce-service-minutes-goes-live-in-parts-of-bengaluru\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">parts of Bengaluru<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in August. Subsequently, the company expanded its quick commerce offerings to Delhi NCR.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modelled after giants like Blinkit, Instamart and Zepto, Minutes sells an assortment of grocery and non-grocery products within \u201c10-minutes\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What sets it apart from competitors is the company\u2019s claim that its users can cancel or refuse to collect their orders if the experience does not \u201cmeet expectations\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. JioMart<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reliance Retail-owned JioMart has also made a comeback in the quick commerce arena by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/buzz\/jiomart-rolls-out-pilot-in-mumbai-navi-mumbai-for-grocery-delivery-in-an-hour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">piloting instant delivery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of groceries and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) in some parts of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The service went live on the JioMart app under the \u2018hyperlocal delivery\u2019 section and is said to deliver orders within an hour in the initial stages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The retailer, however, plans to reduce the delivery time between 30 and 45 minutes during the later stages, while also expanding its product categories to include apparel and electronic items.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JioMart will bank on Reliance Retail\u2019s network of over 18,000 stores across the country to fulfil its orders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reliance Retail previously operated its quick commerce venture under a pilot called JioMart Express, which was shut down in early 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. magicNOW\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having experimented with state-backed ONDC for some time now, hyperlocal delivery platform Magicpin, too, took the quick commerce plunge in December last year with the launch of magicNOW, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/buzz\/magicpin-launches-15-minute-food-delivery-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15-minute food delivery service<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking on the might of Blinkit, Swiggy and Zepto, Magicpin appears to have been experimenting with quick delivery for some time now. Before the full rollout in December, the Delhi NCR-based startup claims to have completed 75,000 deliveries during its pilot in select localities of Delhi NCR and Bengaluru.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Operating within a 1.5km to 2 km delivery radius, magicNOW directly partners with restaurants to offer freshly cooked food to its customers. It has partnered with over 2,000 QSR brands including Chaayos, Faasos, Wendy\u2019s, Burger King, McDonald\u2019s, Taco Bell and more than 1,000 local restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new service will be powered by Magicpin\u2019s Velocity service, which aggregates third-party logistics providers, including Shadowfax, Dunzo, Rapido, Porter, Ola, and Zypp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It plans to expand to Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune in the near future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Myntra<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2024 was all about Flipkart-owned Myntra\u2019s experiments with quick delivery. It became one of the first fashion and lifestyle ecommerce platforms in India to jump onto the quick commerce bandwagon last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though Blinkit, Zepto and Swiggy have added fashion SKUs in the past few years, Myntra is the first dedicated player in this space. In September, the ecommerce major piloted a four-hour delivery service in some parts of Bengaluru and Delhi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the experiment, the company, in November 2024, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/buzz\/exclusive-amid-quick-commerce-race-myntra-launches-2-hour-delivery-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">began rolling out its \u201cM-Now\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offering, which offers a 30-minute to 2-hour delivery feature in some parts of Bengaluru.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notably, an internal assessment conducted by the company also showed a significant increase in consumers\u2019 propensity to complete purchases when offered shorter delivery times. Earlier, Myntra\u2019s \u2018M-Express\u2019 service delivered orders in a 24 to 48-hour window to select cities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Nykaa<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listed beauty marketplace Nykaa, too, has been experimenting with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/buzz\/nykaa-pilots-10-minute-deliveries-in-mumbai-to-fight-quick-commerce-onslaught\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quick commerce pilot <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the financial capital of the country. In October 2024, Nykaa launched a 10-minute delivery pilot in select parts of Mumbai, covering 5% of its SKU base.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, brokerages expect Nykaa to witness higher fulfilment costs due to its ambition of fast deliveries, adversely impacting its EBITDA margin. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>10. Ola Food Delivery<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To cash in on the 10-minute food delivery segment, Bhavish Aggarwal-led <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/buzz\/ola-pilots-10-minute-food-delivery-on-ondc\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ola Consumer began piloting quick food deliveries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in some parts of Bengaluru in December last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The offering, which was rolled out on the native Ola Cabs app, claims to deliver food items from various restaurants within 10 minutes. This marks yet another attempt from the company to disrupt the food delivery segment via Open Network For Digital Commerce (ONDC).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previously, the company ventured into quick commerce under the label Ola Dash in 2015. However, Ola pulled the shutters down on Dash in mid-2022 to channel its focus on its electric vehicles and mobility businesses.<\/span><b><i><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>11. Ola Grocery Delivery<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A week after Ola Consumer began piloting quick food deliveries in December 2024, the Bhavish Aggarwal-led company also rolled out a 10-minute <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/buzz\/now-ola-pilots-10-minute-grocery-delivery-in-bengaluru\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">grocery delivery service<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in select pin codes in Bengaluru.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The launch officially marked Ola Consumer\u2019s foray into the quick commerce segment even though the mobility major has been experimenting with grocery deliveries on ONDC for some time now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Via this new offering, Ola will deliver grocery and kitchen staples such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy items, along with home care and personal care products, to customers in select parts of Bengaluru.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>12. Slikk<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slikk is one of the newest entrants in the quick commerce space, having been founded in August 2024 by Akshay Gulati, Om Swami and Bipin Singh. Earlier this year, it raised INR 2.5 Cr in a pre-seed round led by Better Capital, with additional participation from Untitled Ventures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/startups\/can-slikk-crack-the-quick-commerce-fashion-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fashion ecommerce<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> platform claims to deliver branded apparel items within 60 minutes in select locations of Bengaluru and claims to be catering to about 100 users per day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slikk claims to have implemented algorithms and machine learning to gauge customer preferences and shopping behaviours to personalise its app.<\/span><b><i><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>13. Swiggy SNACC<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amid the increasing cut-throat in the quick commerce arena, Swiggy launched a new 15-minute food delivery app on January 8.

However, instead of launching a separate application, this option was integrated into Swiggy\u2019s food delivery app.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, Swiggy has also launched a new service, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inc42.com\/buzz\/swiggy-launches-10-minute-food-delivery-service-bolt\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swiggy Bolt<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, to deliver quick-to-prepare dishes in 10 minutes from popular restaurants and QSR chains within a two-kilometre radius of consumers.<\/span><b><i><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>14.

The startup delivers a range of fast food offerings in just 10 to 15 minutes via its application.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swish operates as a vertically integrated startup that controls all aspects of operations in-house, including food preparation, delivery and supply chain. While it currently operates just one cloud kitchen, it caters to nearly 150-200 orders daily, with an average order value in the range of INR 250 to INR 300.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the near future, it plans to set up 45 cloud kitchens to cater to the \u201cmost high-demand areas of Bengaluru\u201d, and expand outside the startup hub in due course of time.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>15. WAAYU<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded in 2022 by childhood friends Mandar Lande and Anirudha Kotgire, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/waayu.app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WAAYU<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a quick food delivery platform, which claims to serve fast and nutritious food to customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking a different route than established giants in the space, WAAYU is looking to make a dent in the quick food delivery space with its zero-commission fee model. Unlike its rivals, WAAYU operates on a subscription model, which is designed to be affordable and easily accessible for restaurants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It charges a one-time setup fee of INR 4,650 and a monthly subscription fee of INR 1,200 from individual restaurants, freeing them from giving commissions on every order. For deliveries, it partners with third-party logistics platform for last-mile operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the B2C side, it claims to have achieved 25,000+ app downloads and was able to acquire 1-1.5 Lakh users on its app till September 2024. Afterwards, it joined the ONDC as a seller app and, as a result, the number of users on its platform grew 10 Lakh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the financial front, the startup reported a revenue of INR 75 Lakh+ in FY24 and is looking to generate around INR 2 Cr in FY25, as per the cofounder.<\/span><b><i><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>16.

What also sets Zing apart is that it does not partner with third-party restaurants and has set up its own cloud kitchens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hyperlocal cloud kitchen startup claims to handle over 100 orders daily, with an average order value of INR 220.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going forward, the startup has set its eyes on scaling up its operations to 100 kitchens in the next one year and entering Bengaluru and other cities in the Delhi NCR.
