Swiggy Instamart is experimenting with physical retail, signalling a potential expansion beyond its quick-commerce delivery model. No details on store format, locations, investment or rollout timeline were provided.

Why this matters

The test builds on recent signals that Swiggy Instamart is trialling a physical retail format and reportedly moving into stores, while former Instamart architect Karthik Gurumurthy has raised $3M in a Matrix-led round.

Omni-channel is steady, with 1,488 signals recorded in the past 90 days.
