Bigbasket plans to launch a 10-minute food delivery service by 2026, challenging Swiggy, Blinkit, and Zepto in India’s $7.1 billion quick-commerce market. Co-founder Vipul Parekh aims to attract Zomato and Swiggy users, leveraging dark stores. BigBasket intends to expand its dark store network from 700 to 1,000-1,200 by 2025, with Starbucks and Qmin on the menu. Parekh dismissed fundraising rumors, reaffirming plans for an IPO in 18-24 months, backed by Tata Group’s internal capital. The pilot program in Bengaluru will extend to 40 dark stores by July-end.
