The quick commerce revolution is redefining India's job market! Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart are gearing up to hire over 4 lakh people by March 2025—an impressive leap from their current workforce of 2.6 lakh. This includes 60,000 full-time employees and 2 lakh delivery partners. What’s fueling this massive growth? ✅ Expanding into new cities ✅ Launching more "dark stores" (local hubs for faster delivery) ✅ Adding diverse product categories These companies, which started with 4,000-5,000 SKUs, now offer over 20,000 products! Here’s what’s in store for them: 👉 Blinkit (by Zomato): 1,000 dark stores by March 2025, aiming for 2,000 by 2026. 👉 Zepto: Backed by $300M, targeting 700 dark stores by FY25. 👉 Swiggy Instamart: Post-IPO, 538 new stores by 2028 with an investment of ₹559 crore. The boom is undeniable, especially in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. But here’s the big question—can this model thrive in smaller Tier 3 cities with populations of 5-10 lakh? With growth comes opportunity, and this wave is set to transform both business and employment landscapes. What are your thoughts on quick commerce and its impact on our cities? #QuickCommerce #Blinkit #Zepto #SwiggyInstamart #JobGrowth #Ecommerce #Innovation
