A Bengaluru-based man ordered a laptop from Flipkart and got it delivered in just 13 minutes while he was sitting in Starbucks.

Now live in Bengaluru, this service aims to deliver items to consumers in the matter of minutes. Buyers can buy items like high-end electronics, unlike other quick commerce platforms in India.
