The move will position BigBasket against rivals like Blinkit’s Bistro, Swiggy’s Snacc, and Zepto Café, as it eyes a larger share of the convenience-first food and snacks market
New Delhi: Tata Group-backed grocery platform BigBasket is gearing up to enter the quick commerce food delivery segment with a 10-minute delivery service across India by March 2026, according to a Reuters report citing co-founder Vipul Parekh.
The move will position BigBasket against rivals like Blinkit’s Bistro, Swiggy’s Snacc, and Zepto Café, as it eyes a larger share of the convenience-first food and snacks market.
The company, which began pilot operations in Bengaluru, plans to scale its dark store network from 700 to 1,200 locations by the end of FY25. By July 2025, BigBasket aims to run the service from 40 dark stores, enhancing delivery speeds through a hyperlocal fulfilment model.
Customers will be able to access items from Tata’s Qmin and Starbucks under the new offering, with no third-party restaurant partners involved. According to internal data, 5–10% of BigBasket users already combine food with grocery orders, a number expected to rise.
Rejecting fundraising speculation, Parekh confirmed that the company is not seeking external capital and is instead planning a public listing within 18 to 24 months.
