Walmart-owned Flipkart has been quietly building a food delivery service in India, expanding employee access to the platform ahead of a planned public launch, TechCrunch reported on October 20, 2026. The move signals Flipkart's push to challenge established food delivery players in the Indian market. Details of the service's features and launch timeline were not disclosed, but the rollout to thousands of employees suggests the company is in advanced testing stages. The expansion comes as Walmart continues to deepen its investment in India's e-commerce and delivery sectors through its Flipkart subsidiary.
