Magicpin to deliver food in 15 minutes

Offline discovery and rewards platform Magicpin has announced its quick delivery service MagicNOW, a new 15-minute food delivery offering piloted across major Indian cities and metros. According to the company, MagicNOW will provide fast food deliveries within a 1.5 km to 2 km radius and will initially launch in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi-NCR, and Pune. During the pilot phase, conducted between November 14 and December 15, MagicNOW claims to have completed 75,000 deliveries from a network of more than 2,000 food brands, including Chaayos, Faasos, Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald's, Taco Bell, and over 1,000 local restaurants. The company stated that the service is designed to cater to the rising demand for ultra-fast delivery of popular, quick-to-prepare dishes without compromising on quality or freshness. MagicNOW will only deliver food prepared by partner restaurants and will not operate through any dark stores. Delivery for MagicNOW will be powered by Velocity by Magicpin, an aggregator of third-party logistics (3PL) providers. Under Velocity, Magicpin consolidates 3PL services from partners such as Shadowfax, Dunzo, Rapido, Porter, OLA, and Zypp, streamlining supply chain operations for brands and sellers. The Anshoo Sharma-led company currently offers Velocity to multiple brands, including KFC, Burger King, and IGP Gifting. In October, Magicpin claimed to have emerged as the largest food delivery seller on the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), processing nearly 150,000 daily food and logistics orders. The instant food delivery market is heating up as established quick commerce players like Zepto, Swiggy, and Blinkit dominate the segment, while emerging players such as Swish and Zing are also gaining traction. Blinkit, owned by Zomato, launched its new 10-minute food delivery service, Bistro, last week. Meanwhile, Zepto is preparing to roll out a dedicated app for Zepto Cafe, to offer 10-minute food deliveries, and Swiggy introduced its own 10-minute food delivery service, Bolt, in October this year.

Ola Consumer, the hyperlocal delivery arm led by Bhavish Aggarwal, has started piloting quick food delivery services in select areas of Bengaluru. The service is being offered through the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), a government-backed initiative. Under the food delivery section on the Ola Cabs app, Ola claims to deliver food items from various restaurants within 10 minutes. Ola currently offers F&B services via ONDC but only in limited cities. Apart from food delivery, it also offers last-mile logistics services for grocery shopping and pharmaceuticals via ONDC. Inc42 reported the development first. Ola will join the likes of half a dozen companies which have initiated or on the verge of launching their instant food delivery services. On Tuesday, offline discovery and rewards platform Magicpin also announced its quick delivery service MagicNOW, a 15-minute food delivery offering piloted across major Indian cities. The instant food delivery market is growing with quick commerce players like Zepto, Swiggy, and Blinkit leading the segment, while new players such as Swish and Zing gain traction. Ola ventured into the food delivery space in 2017 with the acquisition of Foodpanda for mere Rs 28 crore. The company aimed to challenge Swiggy and Zomato by leveraging its vast driver network. In 2018, Ola further acquired home chef marketplace Holachef to strengthen its position. However, the vertical failed to gain traction. By mid-2019, Ola scaled down Foodpanda's operations, focusing on in-house food brands, and by early 2020, it officially shut down the segment, citing a strategic shift to its core mobility biz. Ola's current foray into 10-minute food delivery seems trend-driven but faces significant challenges, especially with its mobility business struggling.
