3. Beyond Groceries

Flipkart Minutes is expanding into electronics accessories, beauty products, and even fashion basics. The category mix is wider than competitors.

The Economics for Sellers

Quick commerce margins are different from regular e-commerce:

• Higher commission rates - Typically 5-8% more than standard
• Faster payments - Settlement in 7 days
• Lower returns - Essentials have minimal return rates
• Volume game - Make it up on quantity

Should You Join?
