Amazon to get into food delivery business in India

The discussions between Amazon India and Uber Eats are reportedly in their early stages where the two sides are possibly looking to explore a strategic alliance.

"People order almost daily from a Zomato or a Swiggy. These apps enjoy immense client stickability. Amazon believes this could be a great add-on to its membership plan," a source told the news daily.

As per the industry estimates, Swiggy last year had delivered around 8,00,000 orders a day while Zomato came a close second at 6,50,000. Whereas, Uber Eats lagged behind where it could manage between 1,50,000 and 2,00,000 orders per day.

Amazon.com Inc is planning a foray into the burgeoning online food delivery business in India this year, two sources aware of the development said, in a move that could raise competition in an increasingly crowded market.

Amazon is aiming to launch the new service delivering from restaurants ahead of India’s month-long festive season, which starts in September, one of the sources said.
