Flipkart partners with Meru to deliver essentials, groceries

E-commerce marketplace Flipkart and app-based ride-hailing cab operator Meru, in which Mahindra & Mahindra holds a majority stake, have partnered to deliver grocery and essential items during this lockdown period.

This partnership will help delivery of grocery and essential items to Flipkart customers at their doorstep across Bengaluru, Delhi NCR and Hyderabad through a safe and sanitized supply chain, Flipkart said in a statement.

This partnership is a continuation of Flipkart’s efforts to create innovative models of collaboration to serve citizens during this unprecedented crisis. It also supports the government’s efforts to keep Indians at home to contain the spread of Covid-19.
