Bengaluru/New Delhi: Ever since Swiggy opened up the food delivery market in Indian cities, Zomato has been playing catch up.
Now, following Swiggy’s entry into grocery delivery, Zomato may be eyeing an acquisition of Grofers, India’s second-largest grocery delivery startup, a person familiar with the matter said, on condition of anonymity.
These talks are at a very early stage and may not materialise into a deal, the person said. The Zomato-Grofers talks were reported by the tech news site Entrackr earlier.
Both Zomato and Grofers denied that they were in talks to merge. The proposed deal could be pushed by investors at the two companies.
