The quick commerce industry in India has been booming like anything. From something as small and cheap as a nail cutter to as expensive as a PS5, brands like BlinkIt and Zepto are delivering what they promise. If you order something like an expensive laptop then there is a chance that you will get your new laptop within 15 minutes from placing the order. E-commerce giant Flipkart is now taking on brands like BlinkIt and Zepto by introducing its Minutes program, which will deliver your order within 15 minutes. 


An X (formerly Twitter) user tested Flipkart Minutes by ordering an Acer Predator Neo (2023) PHN16-71-757P gaming laptop that costs above Rs 1 lakh. Senior Director of Technology at JioCinema, Sunny R Gupta, recently placed an order for this laptop via Flipkart Minutes and got it delivered to a Starbucks outlet (where he was at the moment) in just 13 minutes. He shared his experience on X and said that he will now get used to quick commerce.

Netizens React


Some users wondered why the quick commerce platforms are rushing this much as no one probably would need a laptop so urgently that they would want it delivered in just 10 minutes. Gupta while responding to this said, "To be honest, I was looking at laptops for a few months now. Today, when I went to my shortlist and selected the specific laptop there was an option to get it in 15 minutes... I'm not complaining."






A user was shocked by such quick delivery from Flipkart and wrote, "Can't believe Flipkart is delivering super fast now! 😂 I actually stopped ordering from them after it took 15 days to deliver a phone that was supposed to arrive in 4. Guess competition really does work wonders!"






Desi-Ness For The Win


Gupta's tweet went viral due to which Flipkart got a decent amount of publicity for free. At the core of his heart, according to Gupta, he is Desi so after spending over a lakh, he jokingly said that Flipkart could've at least given him a bag.






Flipkart Minutes responded to his tweet and soon showed up at his place and gifted him a cool Wildcraft bag.
