How India’s supply chains can power both e-commerce and quick commerce efficiently

India’s digital commerce is entering its most notable chapter so far. On one end is the behemoth e-commerce sector, which achieved a GMV of nearly $14 billion in 2025, growing ever more as millions come online from towns, metros, and rural belts. On the other is the quick commerce market, projected to hit $57 billion by 2030, which is redefining consumer expectations with 10-minute grocery deliveries and instant fulfilment for everyday essentials.
