Flipkart Expands Fulfillment Network as Quick-Commerce Rivals Burn Cash

India's top three quick-commerce firms have lost over $1.4 billion in four years. Walmart-backed Flipkart Minutes is adding roughly 100 micro-fulfillment centers monthly — from 340 to over 1,020 — targeting 1,500 by end of 2026, ahead of a planned IPO. Walmart's balance sheet is the edge against venture-funded rivals Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart.
