Largest quick commerce companies in India: owners and store counts
Each app has two store counts. One is the company’s own figure. The other is the number of stores open now.
“Places with a store” counts every city and town where the app has a store. It runs higher than company city figures, because many suburbs and localities are counted separately. Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, BB Now, Flipkart Minutes and Amazon Now have 8,241 dark stores in 498 cities.

Amazon Now’s count includes 174 partner More stores it uses as dark stores. Company figures and store counts are taken on different dates, so they will not match.
Which quick commerce app is in the most cities?
Blinkit has stores in the most cities and towns. The other apps are far more concentrated.
- Blinkit cities: 467; its biggest is Blinkit in Delhi (218 stores).
- Swiggy Instamart cities: 197; its biggest is Swiggy Instamart in Bengaluru (171 stores).
- Flipkart Minutes cities: 185; its biggest is Flipkart Minutes in Bengaluru (133 stores).
- Zepto cities: 129; its biggest is Zepto in Bengaluru (183 stores).
- Amazon Now cities: 126; its biggest is Amazon Now in Bengaluru (121 stores).
- BigBasket BB Now cities: 103; its biggest is BigBasket BB Now in Bengaluru (128 stores).
One store is enough for a city to count, so these figures show spread, not size; for size, look at each app’s share of the quick-commerce market.

Quick commerce companies that shut down, including Dunzo
Many quick commerce companies have closed. Most shut because each order cost more to deliver than it earned. The larger apps could afford to keep spending for longer.
| Company | When | What happened |
|---|---|---|
| Dunzo | Offline from Jan 2025 | Started in Bengaluru in 2014 as a WhatsApp errand service and later ran Dunzo Daily from dark stores. Reliance invested $200 million for 25.8% in January 2022 and wrote the stake off in FY25. |
| Ola Dash | Shut 25 Jun 2022 | Ola’s quick grocery service, closed along with Ola Cars. Ola ran fresh food and grocery pilots again in Bengaluru from December 2024. |
| Zomato grocery | Stopped 17 Sep 2021 | Zomato closed its own grocery pilot and backed Grofers instead, which it later bought and turned into Blinkit. |
| JioMart Express | Shut early 2023 | Reliance’s first quick-delivery attempt. JioMart started delivering app orders from Reliance Stores again in 2024. |
| Snacc (Swiggy) | Shut | Swiggy pulled the app on 19 February 2026; its kitchens are being turned into Instamart stores. |

Which quick commerce companies make a profit?
Among the big apps, only Blinkit has a positive adjusted EBITDA, and only just: ₹184 crore in July–September 2026, about 0.9% of its net order value. Instamart and Zepto are still losing money, and Flipkart Minutes, BB Now, Amazon Now and JioMart do not publish separate figures. What a single order earns and costs an app is worked through in quick-commerce unit economics.
Why figures for quick commerce companies are hard to compare
Listed companies share more numbers. Blinkit and Instamart sit inside listed companies, so they publish figures every quarter, collected in the quarterly results of Blinkit, Instamart and Zepto. Zepto is private and has shared figures only for its IPO. Flipkart, Amazon and BigBasket publish little beyond occasional store and city totals.
Launch dates can mislead. Blinkit began as Grofers in 2013, and BigBasket existed for a decade before BB Now.
A “store” also means different things. A Blinkit, Zepto or Amazon Now store is a dark store: a store that serves online orders, even when it sits inside a partner More store. JioMart delivers from Reliance Stores, which are shops first.
