BTTV’s Correspondent Aastha Chopra spoke to a DTDC spokespersons, Subhasish Chakraborthy and Abhishek Chakraborthy, who highlighted the immense potential of rapid commerce in India. Abhishek told about 4 to 6 hour deliveries are poised to become a $20+ billion GMV market by 2030, creating a parallel $2+ billion logistics opportunity. With over 60% of shoppers willing to pay extra for same-day delivery, speed is becoming central to consumer loyalty. Chakraborthy also mentioned about Tier 2 and 3 cities now drive 40% of online retail spending, adopting rapid delivery faster than metros. Non-grocery categories from beauty to auto parts are fuelling demand. The spokesperson stressed that shared infrastructure and multi-speed strategies will be crucial for scale and profitability.
