by · Inc42

SUMMARY

  • Flipkart said the quick commerce arm’s volume has grown over five-fold since the network expansion began, especially as it services both metro and non-metro cities across the country
    Meanwhile, Amazon Now also announced plans to expand its fulfilment network to 300 cities, up from 100 cities it was targeting earlier this year
    At the heart of this is the rapidly growing Indian quick commerce market, which has moved beyond its original grocery-first model, despite concerns around profitability
