Through Amazon Now, we’re offering a curated selection of everyday essentials delivered within 10 minutes, addressing immediate customer needs while maintaining Amazon’s standards for quality and reliability. We will expand the service over the next few months,” said the company in its statement.
This comes at a time when the space is seeing heated competiton in the space with Amazon’s rival Flipkart also launching Minutes and players like Eternal-owned Blinkit, Swiggy’s Instamart, Zepto, Tata Digital-backed BigBasket, looking to tap into the sector.
