Not even Bigbasket?

No. Grofers used to be the only one.

No Flipkart Grocery or Amazon Fresh ?

Flipkart Grocery has just recently started their services in Guwahati. Although, many items are now unavailable in stock. See if they deliver.

Grofers was available in our area, but after the rebrand it's showing "sorry, we don't deliver in ____".

Now I have no way of ordering groceries online. Even Jio Mart isn't available for me.

Same thing happened in my area too. They basically gave up all areas where they wont be able to deliver in 10 mins. I am not asking them to deliver in 10 mins, they could have got more subscribers with 30 mins too

What JioMart is doing is not fair to it's competitors. As a consumer I am more than happy to get more discount and free shipping. But how are others supposed to sustain a business model when other one is giving free shipping even on a Rs. 5 product since almost a year and a half. I am not shocked about Grofers discontinuing their services in certain areas. Also rebranding didn't help. I have not seen one single ad or promo about BlinkIT. Grofers was atleast popular.

Restarted using blinkit, impressed with the fast delivery. They are delivering anything mostly under 30 mins.

On other side, Blinkit is charging Rs 5 for each delivery. Earlier, they were charging only till certain amount of order value.
