Flipkart Minutes Quadruples Business, Expands Quick-Commerce Beyond MetrosPreviousNext

Flipkart Minutes, Flipkart's quick-commerce arm, has quadrupled its business over two years, expanding to over 1,200 micro-fulfilment centres across 150+ cities. Growth is driven by Tier-2 and smaller cities, where the customer base has increased nearly 25 times year-on-year. The platform sees strong demand beyond groceries, including electronics, beauty, and gourmet products, with Gen Z emerging as a key customer segment. Flipkart plans to add 100 fulfilment centres monthly, aiming for profitability through scale and preparing for a standalone app launch ahead of the festive season.
