Indian Food Delivery and Quick-Commerce Firms Face Growth and Profitability Challenges
India's food delivery and quick-commerce sectors face profitability and growth challenges as companies compete for new users amid shifting consumer behavior. Eternal and Swiggy debate low-cost delivery models, with Swiggy questioning the viability of micro-kitchens. Meanwhile, BigBasket's late move into quick commerce has led to rising losses and slower revenue growth, as rivals Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart dominate the market. Both sectors are adapting to a landscape where expanding user bases is key amid evolving market dynamics.
