Flipkart will pilot online food delivery in India within 30 days, with wider expansion contingent on results. The Walmart-owned marketplace is entering a Zomato- and Swiggy-led market while scaling its Minutes quick-commerce network and evaluating ONDC-linked options.

Why this matters

The move extends Flipkart's recent food-delivery planning signals, including reports of a launch in coming weeks and a challenge to Zomato and Swiggy, while linking expansion to the growing Flipkart Minutes dark-store network.
