Walmart-owned Flipkart is quietly building a food-delivery service in India, and it has now expanded access to thousands of employees, according to TechCrunch. The move is a step ahead of the service's public launch, though no date has been reported.
The internal rollout gives Flipkart a chance to test its operations before opening up to a wider audience. It also signals that Walmart's e-commerce arm is preparing to compete in India's already crowded food-delivery market.
TechCrunch's report does not provide further details on the service's features or launch timeline. Still, the expansion to employees suggests Flipkart is making progress on a service that could challenge established players.
