Industry & Competitive Context India's hyperlocal delivery industry evolved along two parallel tracks over 2015–2025: a business-to-consumer (B2C) track built around quick commerce (Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart), and a business-to-business (B2B) track offering "logistics-as-a-service" to merchants who lacked their own delivery fleets. Dunzo, founded in Bengaluru in 2015 by Kabeer Biswas, Mukund Jha, Dalvir Suri, and Ankur Aggarwal, began as an asset-light, app-based erran

Industry & Competitive Context India's online food delivery market has, since 2022, been shaped by the diffusion of "quick commerce" logic sub-15-minute delivery pioneered in grocery by Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy's own Instamart into adjacent categories.
