E-commerce marketplace Flipkart has announced a pilot initiative with retail chain store, Spencer’s Retail, to introduce hyperlocal deliveries of groceries and other essentials in Hyderabad.
The engagement will help the companies in deliveries of essential products to consumers and thereby promote social distancing in the backdrop of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Under the pilot scheme, consumers will be able to order groceries and essentials from the Spencer’s Retail store on the Flipkart app. The orders are to be collected from a set of chosen sample stores across Hyderabad by Flipkart executives and delivered to the customer’s doorstep.
Flipkart is committed to fulfilling customers’ needs amidst the lockdown to promote social distancing. It has built a robust tech-backed platform to offer consumers real-time insights of essentials.
