Swiggy's Instamart beats Zepto in quick commerce, manages to race ahead on....
Swiggy Instamart vs Zepto Swiggy Instamart vs Blinkit vs Zepto: In a significant development in the quick-commerce industry which is being currently ruled by Swiggy Instamart, Blinkit and Zepto, Swiggy's quick commerce arm Instamart has witnessed a massive growth and has reclaimed the number two position from Zepto based on net merchandise value (NMV). As per a report by Moneycontrol, Zepto has fallen behind Swiggy's Instamart in terms of net merchandise value (NMV). Here are all the details you need to know about the recent development in the quick-commerce market and why it is a massive development for Swiggy. Who rules the quick commerce market? As per data release by the media report, Blinkit had an NMV of Rs 845 crore and Swiggy's Instamart and Zepto could only manage a NMV of Rs 405 crore and Rs 375 crore respectively in the week of August 4-11. For those unversed, Net Merchandise Value (NMV) is the actual value of goods sold after reducing for returns and cancellations from the total order value. Why it's big for Swiggy Instamart? Experts are praising the development for Swiggy as this is the first time in several months that Swiggy's Instamart has overtaken Zepto in market share terms, the report said. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether Zepto will be able to regain the lost spot from Swiggy Instamart or not. Why Zepto CEO accuses rival company's CFO of targeting them? In a development from May this year, Aadit Palicha, the CEO and Co-founder of quick delivery platform Zepto, had alleged that the chief financial officer (CFO) of a rival company is running a smear campaign against them over the past few days. Palicha said in a LinkedIn post that the spam campaign includes 'calling our investors to make wild allegations about us with no empirical evidence, giving out false numbers/Excel sheets on Zepto through sources known to journalists, and paying bots on social media to spread a negative narrative'.

UPI fraud clampdown: NPCI to end P2P collect requests from October 1; Banks, apps told to block pull transactions permanently
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has directed banks and payment apps to stop all peer-to-peer (P2P) 'collect requests' on UPI from October 1, 2025, in an effort to curb financial fraud. In a circular dated July 29, NPCI said, 'It is hereby informed that by October 1, 2025 UPI P2P collect shall not be allowed to be process in UPI.' "All member banks, Payment Service Providers (PSPs) and UPI apps are hereby directed to implement the necessary changes in their systems and operational processes to ensure that no P2P collect transaction is initiated, routed, or processed on UPI beyond October 1, 2025," it added, reported PTI. The move means that all banks and UPI apps — including PhonePe, Google Pay, and Paytm — will no longer be able to initiate, route, or process P2P collect transactions after the deadline. At present, the maximum amount that can be collected from another individual per transaction is Rs 2,000, with a daily cap of 50 successful transactions. "By eliminating this feature, UPI reinforces its position as a platform that is fast and easy, while also being secure and reliable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Back Pain Treatments That Might Surprise You! Back Pain Treatment | Search Ads Undo This change, removing a high-risk channel, will significantly reduce fraud. Now, all P2P transactions will be payer-initiated, requiring the user to scan a QR code," NTT DATA Payment Services India CFO Rahul Jain said. In such cases, the payer will have full control over the transactions they initiate, he noted. NPCI had capped pull transactions at Rs 2,000 in 2019, but fraud incidents continued. 'This move will act as a safeguard for users, and such frauds will now be eliminated,' it said. 'NPCI's decision to discontinue UPI 'collect' requests closes a loophole long exploited in payment scams, marking a decisive step toward a safer digital economy,' said Reeju Datta, co-founder of Cashfree Payments. He noted that championing user-initiated 'push' transactions enhances consumer control and transparency while reinforcing trust in digital payments.
