Flipkart sets sight on quick commerce ops expansion

Walmart-owned Flipkart said on Friday that it was aiming to expand its quick commerce operations, driven by rising consumer demand for faster deliveries. The ecommerce giant was piloting its quick commerce service under the brand ‘Minutes’ in Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi NCR as it responds to growing competition from delivery platforms such as Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, and BigBasket.
