Flipkart, which has proved a crucial profit  motorist for Walmart, is planning a big thrust on groceries, where it’s the number two player now and an under-entered member where it sees considerable eventuality to add value for guests. Though groceries are  masses that everyone buys, in terms of e-commerce it’s less entered along with the food member and Flipkart intends to drive growth in this area, according to Chief Executive Officer Kalyan Krishnamurthy. 

Krishnamurthy lately had a detailed  converse with brokerage establishment Jefferies, where he spoke about the  openings in the Indian E-commerce request, its implicit and Flipkart’s plans to cash in on those openings. He refocused out that three- fourths of thee-grocery request was slotted delivery or traditional delivery “where we operate. That request is growing presto, and the occasion size is huge.” Thee-trailer entered the grocery market in 2019 and has  fleetly gauged up. Last time, Flipkart  blazed the expansion of its grocery services to 1,800 metropolises across India. “Thee-grocery  request continues to see increased demand as consumers from league 2 and 3 requests will get access to high quality selection of  masses and ménage particulars from reputed brands at great value,” Flipkart Grocery vice  chairman, Smrithi Ravichandran, said at the time of the advertisement.

Still, Flipkart gauged down its quick-commerce service ‘Flipkart Quick’ in the after part of 2022 and consolidated the business with its coming- day grocery delivery platform ‘Flipkart Supermart’ as the Walmart-possessed company was bullish on the grocery  perpendicular. In the quick commerce grocery space, players such as Dunzo, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart are leading the members. On the other hand, Flipkart rival Amazon too sees huge opportunity for its grocery service in India and plans to continue expansion of this member. In November 2021, Amazon integrated its grocery stores Fresh and Closet into a single unified store called Amazon Fresh. The service was available across 300 Indian metropolises as of July, 2022. Reliance’s JioMart, on the other hand, lately stopped its quick grocery service delivery of the JioMart Express as it didn’t want to burn cash heavily.
