23 Aug 2026, 11:00 AM	TechCrunch	4.0	Two years after launch, Walmart’s Flipkart is closing in on India’s quick-commerce leaders Flipkart Minutes, launched August 2024, has grown to 1.1-1.2 million daily orders from ~400,000 in November, closing the gap with Swiggy's Instamart at ~1.4 million daily orders. Blinkit still leads at 3.4-3.6 million daily orders, followed by Zepto at 2.4-2.6 million. Flipkart's growth is driven by aggressive dark-store and delivery infrastructure expansion. Why: For Malaysian or SEA founders eyeing quick-commerce, the India data shows a latecomer with deep capital (Walmart backing) can nearly triple order volume in under a year via infrastructure spend rather than product novelty — useful if evaluating whether to enter or compete in rapid delivery. Otherwise, no direct action needed for most builders. quick-commerce india-market e-commerce competitive-landscape
