Flipkart, the Walmart-owned Indian e-commerce company, is internally testing a food-delivery service called "Eat-in by Minutes" in Bengaluru. The trial has grown from a few hundred employees to more than 8,000, and Flipkart has deployed a dedicated rider fleet through its logistics arm Ekart. The service draws on restaurants listed via ONDC and restaurants signed directly. It is intended to challenge the Zomato (owned by Eternal) and Swiggy duopoly. Flipkart reportedly told restaurants it plans a public launch by the end of October and expansion to five or six cities by year-end, and has proposed a base commission of about 10%, against 20-25% on incumbent platforms. This is business and market news with no cybersecurity incident, vulnerability, or threat activity.
