**Bengaluru, India** – In a move that promises to revolutionize the way consumers purchase electronics, Bigbasket, the popular grocery delivery platform, has announced a partnership with Croma Electronics to offer 10-minute doorstep delivery of the new iPhone 16 series.
Initially available in Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR, and Mumbai, this service will allow customers to receive their iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, or 16 Pro Max within a mere 10 minutes of placing their order. Bigbasket claims to have already delivered the first iPhone 16 to a customer in Koramangala, Bengaluru, in a record-breaking seven minutes.
This partnership marks Bigbasket’s foray into the electronics market, aiming to expand beyond its traditional grocery delivery services. The company is looking to offer a similar rapid delivery service for other electronic devices, including laptops and PlayStations, in the near future.
The iPhone 16 series, launched globally today, is available in India starting at INR79,900 for the base model, with prices varying for the Plus, Pro, and Pro Max variants. The phones are available through Apple’s online and offline stores, as well as other retailers across the country.
While the speed of Bigbasket’s delivery service is impressive, it remains to be seen if consumers are ready to embrace this new level of instant gratification for electronic purchases. Some might argue that the need for a phone delivered within 10 minutes is less pressing compared to the urgency of grocery deliveries. Only time will tell whether Bigbasket’s bold initiative will resonate with Indian consumers.
