Fresh commerce 2.0: The new model of farm delivery
Financial Express Lucknow
|October 13, 2025

Zepto, for instance, sold 2.21 million units of produce daily in May 2025, up from 640,000 a year earlier.
The resulting price wars and unrealistic delivery promises squeezed smaller players. But the tide is turning again, as consumers begin to distinguish between"quick" and"fresh".
