Curtains on 10-min delivery | Zepto, Swiggy, Flipkart follow Blinkit to drop branding

After Blinkit, major quick commerce players Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, and Flipkart Minutes have dropped their '10-minute' delivery branding following pressure from the government and labour rights groups over the welfare and safety of delivery partners. The move comes after Union Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, in a meeting last week, urged quick commerce firms to prioritise worker safety by removing rigid 10-minute deadlines. It was being said that such hyper-fast delivery promises place undue stress on riders, potentially compromising their road safety. Quick commerce firms could not be immediately contacted for comments.
