Amit GuptaGUEST
And then parents give up.
Amit GuptaGUEST
Blinkit and Zepto keep getting orders for items and free samples are also coming in these products.
Amit GuptaGUEST
The kids are constantly getting an explosion.
Amit GuptaGUEST
They know that it is easy access.
Sucheta DalalHOST
It's partly addressed by FSCCI itself because it has said the role of e-commerce and quick delivery operators need to be checked.
Sucheta DalalHOST
So these are Amazon Flipkart, Zepto, Blinkit.
Sucheta DalalHOST
So the front of package labeling issue and the sale of fake and pirated products is a larger problem when it comes to e-commerce companies because they have allowed innumerable sellers to list products online with poor disclosure of ingredients and expiry dates in fact this is not the only problem and it's continuing for a decade they say we are a platform we onboard everybody we don't care whether it is you know genuine companies or fake pirated stuff Now, there are apps, there are apps which already flag vegetarian and non-vegetarian products.
Sucheta DalalHOST
Everybody has this because if you want to sell something in India, you have to clearly tag it as vegetarian or non-vegetarian, the green dot or the red dot, right? So you can have a hexagon as well, like the Supreme Court talks about.
Sucheta DalalHOST
It's not limited to Maharashtra FDA and the Tukaram Munday effect.
Sucheta DalalHOST
It's happening across the board.
Sucheta DalalHOST
The result? 14 food establishments connected with Blinkit, Zepto and Instamart had their licenses suspended after uncovering food safety and hygiene violations.
Sucheta DalalHOST
This was by FDA Maharashtra.
Nikita SharmaHOST
Cut to January 2026, and Shahi's litigation company, LegalPay, has committed 100 crore rupees over the next 18 months to financing commercial and insolvency disputes.
Nikita SharmaHOST
The firm has already worked with the likes of Zepto, PwC, and Deloitte, and claims to deliver returns exceeding 30% internal rate of return, or IRR, to its investors.
Nikita SharmaHOST
India's legal expense market is worth at least $20 billion annually and growing at 10 to 12% CAGR, Shahi estimates.
Nikita SharmaHOST
From the US and UK and Hong Kong to Singapore and Australia, third-party litigation funding has matured into a full-fledged asset class, with the former president of the UK Supreme Court calling it the lifeblood of the justice system.
7 MINS LATER
Nikita SharmaHOST
As litigation funds currently operate in India, the incentive structures don't fully align with the access to justice narrative.
Nikita SharmaHOST
LegalPay, by Shahi's own admission, largely funds commercial disputes between large corporates.
Nikita SharmaHOST
These are the Zeptos and Deloittes of the world, companies that could afford to fight if they wanted to but would rather not risk the capital or endure the wait.
Nikita SharmaHOST
The absence of regulation also explains why litigation funding has not scaled in India as an asset class.
Andrew LedermanGUEST
Incredible to see what they can do there.
Andrew LedermanGUEST
They have within 10 minute delivery from companies like Zepto, Blanket, many others.
Andrew LedermanGUEST
Amazon now is now spending some time in India as well.
Andrew LedermanGUEST
But ultimately, I was there this year.
Rachel VargheseHOST
They've not made one billion dollars yet, but if you take how much they've been selling over the last few months and project that over the next year, then they will hit a billion.
Rachel VargheseHOST
And it actually beats the time Zepto took to hit the same milestone.
Rachel VargheseHOST
Zepto is India's first pure play quick commerce platform, and it hit that same annualized number about two to three years after launch.
Rachel VargheseHOST
Amazon Now is doing it in under two.
Rachel VargheseHOST
It's no surprise really, because a few months ago, reports had shown that Now had been doubling its orders every quarter.
Rachel VargheseHOST
The app is now live in over sixty cities and especially in Tier II and Tier III cities.
Rachel VargheseHOST
The company has also shared its ambitions of pushing rather aggressively into these lower-tier towns.
Rachel VargheseHOST
Still, Amazon is months behind Flipkart's quick commerce app, Flipkart Minutes, and of course, far behind Zepto, Blinkit, and Instamart.
Aakanksha GuptaGUEST
Unless and until you're deciding to do, um, sales first, which means that you wanna invest in, let's say a Swiggy Instagram ...
Aakanksha GuptaGUEST
Sorry, Swiggy, uh, uh, Blinkit, uh, Zepto, those kind of players, then you'll invest with them to create that kind of asset, right?
Anupam GuptaHOST
Hold.
Anupam GuptaHOST
When you say invest in them, you mean-
Ken RayHOST
TechCrunch ran a piece Friday that had fast delivery e-commerce services delivering iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in as few as 10 minutes.
Ken RayHOST
While the devices were available through the usual channels, the piece has outfits like Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart, and Big Basket, services normally associated with food delivery, and the latest iPhones to go at launch.
Ken RayHOST
So you could get an iPhone at launch with lunch.
Ken RayHOST
Not the norm by any stretch.
Tushar GuptaGUEST
So to say that a merchant will be in a position to generate a new sort of invoice for every customer, And that is how the cost will be passed on to the consumer is also incorrect.
Tushar GuptaGUEST
Yeah, the likes of Blinkit and Zepto, what they'll do? They'll increase the platform fee by one rupee.
Tushar GuptaGUEST
They'll increase the handling fee by one rupee.
Tushar GuptaGUEST
That is what Zomato and Swiggy have been doing all this while.
Puneet KumarGUEST
For brands, it's always remained at the mercy of large distribution network that they have to build.
Puneet KumarGUEST
Like there will be some model that will formalize that retail, Blinkit, Instamart, Zepto and others, BigBasket and others are the answers to, let's say, the Kiranas.
Puneet KumarGUEST
But if you think of like, and again, I don't know whether which model will be successful, what will be the exact model.
Puneet KumarGUEST
But if you think of home materials, right? There are a million home material, building material shops in India.
