The 10-minute delivery revolution has changed the entire kitchen system of India. Now people have stopped worrying about running out of items. Instead of going to the market, people have started giving priority to ordering goods at home.

On the last evening of the year 2024, people ordered a lot of things from these delivery apps, which includes everything from condoms to grapes. Swiggy Instamart, BlinkIt, Big Basket and other companies have also shared some data related to this.
