In this edition of Briefing Room, Madhavdas G and panellists investigate the alarming dark side of India’s booming 10-minute quick-commerce delivery industry. Recent regulatory inspections and food safety raids on dark stores belonging to platforms like Zepto and Blinkit have uncovered unhygienic conditions—ranging from organic waste and pest infestations to expired and contaminated food items stored alongside daily essentials. With over 26 million urban households relying on these apps every day, Briefing Room examines whether the relentless race for speed is compromising consumer health and basic safety standards.
