Walmart-owned Flipkart, Amazon are squeezing India’s quick commerce startups
India's quick commerce market is experiencing rapid growth, but the aggressive strategies of Walmart-owned Flipkart and Amazon are intensifying competition. Flipkart, which entered the sector later than rivals like Blinkit and Swiggy, has quickly expanded to over 800 dark stores and plans to double that by 2026. This expansion comes amid a challenging environment for existing players, as evidenced by Swiggy's recent leadership changes and ongoing profitability concerns.
Key Points
