Flipkart Plans Standalone App for Quick-Commerce Service Flipkart Minutes

Flipkart plans to launch a standalone app for its quick-commerce service, Flipkart Minutes, aiming for a pilot around July and full rollout by year-end. This move follows competitors like Swiggy's Instamart app, seeking to enhance visibility amid a maturing quick-commerce market facing metro saturation. Flipkart currently operates about 750-800 dark stores, targeting 1,200 by June, aligning with rivals Zepto and Instamart. Industry experts note standalone apps may improve brand recall, though adoption varies.
