Amid a 10-min rush, BigBasket plans one-hour delivery with more products on offer
06 November 2024
Amid the buzz around 10-minute grocery delivery, Tata-owned egrocer BigBasket is set to unveil its one-hour delivery service, BB Express, with 7,500-8,000 products on offer. Typically, 10- to 20-minute delivery services can offer half of that number of products as they prioritise speed over wider selection of products. The service will be launched next month and will be powered through the company’s 62 large-scale dark stores, cofounder and chief executive Hari Menon told ET. Delivery from these warehouses will be mostly through bikes.
“We have over 62 large dark stores spread across around 30,000 sq ft that are used for four- to five-hour delivery of core BigBasket business. These will power the BB Service with an SKU (stock-keeping unit, or product) range of close to 8,000,” Menon told ET.
Once launched, this will mark the multi-model approach of BigBasket trying to service various consumer needs. Menon also feels a wider selection to deliver in an hour is a sustainable service.
