quick-commerce platforms

Bengaluru-based fashion platform Slikk has announced its 'Super Duper Sale', promoted as the city's largest fashion sale, starting October 1. The campaign highlights delivery within 60 minutes, positioning Slikk against rivals in India's fast-growing quick-commerce fashion market. Shoppers are sharing the announcement widely as attention builds ahead of the festive-season shopping rush.

DoorDash is expanding beyond food delivery by bringing more retail partners onto its platform and introducing a shopping assistant that works over text messages, allowing customers to browse and order from retailers conversationally. The move signals DoorDash's push to compete more directly with e-commerce and quick-commerce rivals for everyday shopping orders, not just restaurant delivery.

Instant commerce platforms promising deliveries in ten minutes are changing how fitness brands sell their products. Items like protein bars, supplements, gym accessories and recovery goods can now be bought on impulse alongside groceries, pushing fitness companies to rethink packaging, pricing and product ranges for quick-commerce shelves. The shift turns fitness consumables into everyday convenience purchases rather than planned buys, and analysts say brands that adapt stand to capture a growing share of rapid-delivery sales.
