BigBasket is expanding from digital grocery into self-service and large-format physical stores to build an omnichannel customer base. GlobalData says the move addresses renewed in-store grocery demand; BigBasket may pursue further funding before a potential 2025 IPO.

Why this matters

The move aligns with recent signals on BigBasket's offline grocery push and wider omnichannel expansion, while its B2C loss widened 66% to ₹3,073 crore in FY26.
