In India's congested cities, delivery apps cash in

Quick commerce apps are redefining the retail game in India, allowing customers to get hold of not only food and drink but anything else from clothes to iPhones -- within minutes.

At a warehouse managed by online grocer BigBasket in central Mumbai, employees work with military-like precision to pull off deliveries in just 10 minutes.

These warehouses are known within the industry as "dark stores", a reference to being closed off to customers.

Local tech companies have poured in billions to set up these nifty logistical networks across big cities, fuelling India's rapid shopping industry.
