He further added “The cool part - return or exchange will happen within 10 minutes of raising a request!” he added.

The new feature is a strategic move to stay ahead of the growing competition from Zepto, Swiggy’s Instamart, Flipkart’s Minutes, and BigBasket’s BBNow in the quick commerce sector, which is valued at around $5.5 billion. At present, Zepto offers a 72-hour exchange policy for apparel, but it only applies to damaged or defective items.
