Currently, the service is limited to specific areas but is expected to expand rapidly, according to a report by The Economic Times. This isn’t Zomato’s first foray into quick food delivery.

It was replaced by “Everyday,” a platform offering home-style meals prepared in central kitchens, which has since expanded across major Indian cities. Now, with this 15-minute delivery initiative, Zomato is directly taking on Swiggy’s Bolt launched in October 2024. Bolt has already gained traction accounting for over 5% of Swiggy’s food delivery orders and operating in 400 cities as of December.

Similarly, Zepto offers its Cafe service, delivering food in just 10 minutes. Apart from these giants, smaller startups like Swish and Zing are also vying for a share of the growing rapid delivery market.
