BigBasket builds offline grocery footprint to broaden reach and support IPO ambitions
Tata-owned BigBasket is expanding beyond online grocery with self-service stores in Bengaluru and a large-format supermarket pilot in Hyderabad. The retailer plans a tighter in-store assortment than online as it builds an omnichannel model and targets wider customer access.
Tata-owned BigBasket is expanding offline formats to build an omnichannel grocery business, with self-service stores in Bengaluru and a Hyderabad supermarket pilot. It expects smaller in-store assortments than online, raised $200 million in December 2022 and may pursue an IPO by 2025.
Why this matters
The move follows BigBasket’s FY25 revenue decline amid quick-commerce competition and an earlier offline retail push signal, pointing to broader India expansion and channel diversification.
