The service
What is Quick Commerce Management?
Quick commerce management is the end-to-end operation of a brand's presence on 10-minute delivery platforms: choosing which platforms and cities to enter, planning pack sizes and margins so the listing is profitable, completing onboarding, building the catalogue, keeping products in stock across dark stores, coordinating purchase orders, running ads and promotions, and reconciling what the platform pays. It is closer to running a distribution business than to running a marketplace listing.
At gaa-tha one team owns all six platforms for a brand. We start with a platform-by-city map of where your category sells, fix the pack sizes and price points before onboarding, and then run availability, purchase orders, content, ads and ratings on a weekly rhythm with a single monthly review across Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart, Flipkart Minutes, Amazon Now and BigBasket.
Scope

Process
How we work
Five steps, in the order they happen.
Map and prioritise
We map your SKUs and target cities against each platform's category strength, then agree an entry order — usually two platforms first, not six.
Fix the economics
Pack sizes, MRP, platform margin, promotional depth and logistics cost are modelled per SKU so nothing goes live at a loss.
Onboard and list
Documents, brand approvals, category licences, catalogue and images are completed platform by platform, with the first purchase order as the finish line.
Run the operation
Weekly availability checks, PO follow-ups, content fixes, ad optimisation and promotion planning across every live platform.
Review and expand
A monthly review with sales, fill rate, ad ROAS and reconciliation, then a decision on new cities, SKUs or platforms.

Questions about Quick commerce
Answer-first, so humans and AI assistants get the point quickly.
A quick commerce agency gets a brand listed on 10-minute delivery platforms and then runs the account: catalogue and images, city and dark-store availability, purchase orders and replenishment, promotions and ads, ratings and monthly reporting. gaa-tha does this for Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, Flipkart Minutes, Amazon Now and BigBasket from one team.
Quick commerce is delivery of groceries, FMCG, beauty and everyday items in roughly 10–30 minutes from local dark stores. In India the platforms that matter are Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, Flipkart Minutes, Amazon Now and BigBasket with BB Now. Each has different category strengths and city coverage, which is why we plan by platform and city rather than treating them as one channel.
Start where your category and target cities overlap best. Blinkit and Zepto lead in metro grocery and FMCG, Swiggy Instamart adds strong snack and impulse demand, Flipkart Minutes and Amazon Now bring their marketplace shoppers, and BigBasket suits staples and larger packs. We map your SKUs and cities against each platform before recommending an order.
No. Most brands do better launching on two platforms, proving availability and sell-through in a few cities, and then expanding. Each platform adds purchase orders, stock commitments and ad budget, so spreading thin before the operation is stable usually costs more than it earns.
By tracking availability at dark-store level every week, forecasting from sell-through so purchase orders are raised before stock runs out, and chasing dispatch and receipt on every PO. Out-of-stock on quick commerce means losing the search rank and the shelf, so availability is the first number we manage.
Platforms work on margins, listing or onboarding charges and sometimes marketing contributions, and these vary by category and change over time. We share the current structure for your category before you sign anything, and plan pack sizes and pricing so the margin works after those charges.
Yes. The same team runs Shopify stores, Amazon and Flipkart accounts and quick commerce, with one content library and one monthly review. That keeps pricing, pack sizes and creative consistent across channels and stops one channel undercutting another.
A one-time onboarding fee per platform and a monthly management retainer that scales with platforms, cities and SKUs. Ad spend and any platform charges are paid by you directly to the platform, so there is no markup on media.
