Big Bazaar’s online bet clicks as platform hits 50,000 orders a day

Future group’s retail chain Big Bazaar, which had launched its two-hour instant delivery service in April, has now touched 50,000 orders per day, reaching half its initial target of 100,000 orders per day in two months. The Kishore-Biyani-led chain had targeted at least three months to touch the 100,000-mark, persons in the know said, implying lockdown curbs over April-May, which had pushed up overall digital adoption, had aided growth.

Big Bazaar had integrated its offline stores with its mobile app and portal when launching the service. Any order placed online would be delivered in the stipulated time in a move to enhance its digital presence.

This is now expected to be stepped up, as the chain seeks to consolidate its presence online.
