Walmart’s Flipkart, Amazon accelerate quick commerce expansion in India amid fierce competition

Walmart’s Flipkart and Amazon said on Wednesday they are speeding up expansion of their “quick commerce” business in India with a focus on smaller cities, as the two global giants compete in the $11-billion sector dominated by domestic players.

Flipkart and Amazon are late entrants to the space that has boomed in India ​and sees companies home delivering everything from iPhones to milk within ⁠10 to 30 minutes from neighbourhood warehouses – a phenomenon that has reshaped shopping patterns in the world’s most populous ​nation.
