What they do

BigBasket is an online grocery delivery platform that started in 2011

It is piloting 10-minute food delivery in select Bengaluru locations, with plans for nationwide rollout by end of fiscal 2026

The service uses only Tata-affiliated brands like Starbucks and Qmin, and competes with Swiggy Snacc, Blinkit Bistro, and Zepto Cafe

BigBasket has started piloting 10-minute food delivery in select locations in Bengaluru.
The menu includes beverages (coffee, tea, juice), snacks, meal bowls, and desserts.
All items come from Tata-affiliated brands — Starbucks and Qmin — with no external restaurant partnerships.
The service uses dark stores (small warehouses dedicated to quick delivery) for fulfillment.
BigBasket plans to expand the food delivery service to 40 dark stores by July-end 2025.
A nationwide rollout is targeted by end of fiscal 2026.
The company is also targeting an IPO within 18–24 months.
Co-founder Vipul Parekh said external fundraising is not needed; internal Tata Group capital is available.

India's quick-commerce market is valued at $7.1 billion.
Blume Ventures' Indus Valley Report calls quick-commerce the 'fastest-growing industry segment ever'.
Competitors like Swiggy (Snacc), Blinkit (Bistro), and Zepto (Zepto Cafe) are already active in this space.
Tata Sons was reportedly unhappy with BigBasket's slow response to the quick-commerce rise.

BigBasket brought online grocery delivery to India in 2011.
It is owned by Tata Digital (Tata Group).
The company currently operates about 700 dark stores and plans to reach 1,000–1,200 by end of 2025.
About 5%–10% of eligible customers combine quick-food items with regular grocery orders.
BigBasket plans to increase its product range to 30,000+ SKUs in all tier-1 cities.
It also plans to launch pharma deliveries with Tata 1mg.
