Flipkart has collaborated with Ninjacart to deliver fresh fruits.
The services will first begin in Bengaluru and may expand to other parts of India. With this, consumers can book a two-hour slot where the minimum delivery fee will be ₹29.
According to the ET report, the company aims to build a wide network of kirana stores in the next phase of its expansion.
Recently, Flipkart had announced the launch of Flipkart Wholesale, a new digital marketplace that will help transform the Kirana retail ecosystem in India by leveraging cutting-edge and locally-developed technology.
As part of this launch, the Group has also announced the acquisition of 100 per cent interest in Wal-Mart India Private Ltd, which operates the Best Price cash-and-carry business. This is aimed at leveraging the strong wholesale capabilities of the company and enabling growth and prosperity for kiranas and MSMEs, as per the previous report.
