"Amazon's quick commerce service aims to meet consumer demand for instant fulfillment, but it may have created this demand through aggressive marketing and subsidies."
"In India, quick commerce represents a small fraction of trade, with companies like Blinkit expanding into non-urgent categories to increase order frequency."
"The quick-commerce market in China is valued at $125 billion, with a significant portion of the urban workforce relying on digital platforms for employment."

The company has experience with ultrafast delivery in India and the UAE, where it has tested 10-minute and 15-minute services. However, quick commerce faces challenges, including manufactured demand and high operational costs, as seen in India's market dynamics and the decline in global investment.
