Amazon Expands Ultrafast Delivery, Increasing Competition in India and US Markets

Amazon has expanded its ultrafast delivery service, Amazon Now, offering 30-minute deliveries in the US and 10-minute deliveries in India, where it launched last year. The service operates through small warehouses stocking thousands of products and leverages Prime membership to boost order frequency. In India, Amazon's rapid growth and lean operational model are intensifying competition with market leader Blinkit, which is adjusting its strategy amid market share pressures in key cities.
