Amazon is all set to start its food delivery business in India from Bengaluru next month, as per a Economic Times report.
The launch of the service, which would be offered as part of either Amazon’s Prime Now or Amazon Fresh platform, may happen almost in a month. Amazon will have to compete with estabished players such as Zomato and Swiggy.
This will be a joint venture between Infosys cofounder NR Narayana Murthy’s Catamaran Ventures and Amazon India.Amazon's entry in the food delivery business comes at a time when Zomato and Swiggy have started cutting back on discounts.Last month, Bezos told the audience at an Amazon event in New Delhi that the company plans to invest $1 billion in India.
