Big challenge for Blinkit, Swiggy, Zepto as Amazon launches new service with..., to start with THIS city and... Amazon, the big American online shopping company, has now entered the quick delivery market in India. The service has started in Delhi, where people can now get items from Amazon Now delivered in just 10 minutes, just like other fast delivery apps such as Zepto, Instamart, Swiggy, and Blinkit. Before Delhi, Amazon tested this service in Bengaluru last month, and it was successful. Now, the company is slowly bringing this quick delivery feature to more cities, starting with West Delhi, and plans to expand across the whole city soon. According to Bloomberg, Amazon expanded its 'Now' service to the national capital, New Delhi, making it only the second city in India to get access to the ultra-fast delivery feature after Bengaluru. Amazon's 10-minute delivery to cover all of Delhi Soon In an interview with The Economic Times, Abhinav Singh, Vice President of Operations at Amazon India, said that the company has already started its quick delivery service in many parts of Delhi, and the network is expanding rapidly. He added that the service will soon be available in the entire city. Amazon plans big investment in India Last month, Amazon announced it will invest USD 2 billion (around Rs. 16,000 crore) to make its delivery network stronger in India. As part of this plan, Amazon is setting up many new dark stores across the country. These dark stores are small warehouses built inside cities so that orders can be packed and delivered faster to nearby customers. About Amazon deliveries Until now, Amazon was known for delivering orders in one or two days. But now, because fast delivery in just 10 to 15 minutes is becoming very popular especially among young people and busy professionals Amazon has also decided to join this quick delivery race. To make deliveries faster, Amazon has opened five new fulfilment centres in India. These centres will help the company deliver faster in smaller cities and towns (Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas). This move is also part of Amazon's bigger plan to reach more customers quickly, especially during busy times like festival shopping seasons.

Indian YouTuber shares what daily life in China looks like, highlights cultural difference
What does a regular day look like for an Indian living in China? For YouTuber Abhinav Singh, it is a mix of cultural discoveries, daily routines, and surprising comparisons. In a now-viral vlog, the Indian dance choreographer, who has lived in China for six years, offers a candid look at his life abroad, from commuting to work to cooking dinner and navigating a different cultural landscape. Titled 'Indian in China SHOCKED!', the video features Singh walking viewers through his typical day while reflecting on the cultural nuances between India and China. He begins with his morning routine and carpools to work with Chinese colleagues before heading to a local grocery store, where he compares food prices with those in India. Interestingly, he also whips up a plate of momos for dinner—his personal favourite and a dish loved by cricketer Virat Kohli. Along the way, Singh highlights everyday habits and social differences that many Indians might find unusual, including lifestyle choices, food preferences, and cost of living. 'What's it like for an Indian to live in China? In this vlog, I reveal shocking cultural differences, CHEAP grocery shopping in China (price comparison!), and surprising habits Indians won't expect,' reads the video description on his YouTube channel, Desi Boy in China. Singh has built a digital following by documenting his life in China—exploring local cultures, cities, and food while offering insights into life as a foreigner in the country. His content resonates with Indian viewers curious about life beyond borders, especially those considering relocating to China for work or study. In a similar trend, another Indian, Saloni Choudhary, recently went viral for her tour of a university dormitory in Shenzhen. A student on a fully funded scholarship, Choudhary shared glimpses of her 'cosy and perfect' room and described her experience living in a mixed-gender building on campus. 'I'm studying here on a fully funded scholarship, which means I don't have to worry about tuition fees, dorm expenses, or most other costs — such a blessing for international students,' she wrote, encouraging others to explore education opportunities in China. Both creators are part of a growing number of Indians sharing life abroad through social media, offering a firsthand look at cultural integration, challenges, and the perks of international living.

What Indians Miss In China? This Vlogger's Grocery Run Says It All
YouTuber Abhinav Singh's recent vlog captures what daily life is like for an Indian living in China. Living in another country often means adjusting to everyday experiences that can feel very different from what one is used to. For Indians living abroad, these moments of cultural difference can be both surprising and eye-opening. YouTuber Abhinav Singh, who runs the channel Desi Boy in China, recently shared a vlog that explores exactly this contrast by showing what daily life is like for an Indian living in China. In his latest video, titled 'Indian in China SHOCKED! (Grocery Shopping, Daily Life & Surprising Habits)," Abhinav gives a glimpse into his routine. He writes, 'What's it like for an Indian to live in China? In this vlog, I reveal shocking cultural differences, CHEAP grocery shopping in China (price comparison!), and surprising habits Indians won't expect!" Abhinav, who is a dance choreographer working and living in China, begins his day by heading to his workplace, which is located about 14 kilometres away from his home. He travels by metro and uses this moment to show how the local commuters behave. While exiting the metro, he sees how people stand in proper lines on the escalator. They leave the left side open for those in a rush. After finishing his dance class, Abhinav visits a nearby shopping complex. He points out how these complexes also include bakeries with fresh food items available. In a segment titled 'CHEAP Grocery Shopping in China (What Indians Miss)," he highlights the convenience of buying pre-cooked items. For example, he picks up ready-made chicken from the store. All he needs to do is heat it at home, which saves both time and effort. Later in the evening, Abhinav conducts another dance class before heading home again. His vlog also includes a brief interaction with a woman cab driver who is seen speaking in English. Abhinav points out that when locals see people like him speaking in English, they feel encouraged to start learning English as well. The video drew a number of comments from viewers. Another viewer gave some feedback, writing, 'Show more local things, bro." Earlier, another Indian YouTuber, Atharva Maheshwari, shared a vlog where he highlighted how a vegetarian can survive in China. He visited a local market in Kunming and showed the wide variety of fresh vegetables, fruits and local produce available there. view comments First Published: July 08, 2025, 18:42 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Just a few weeks ago, we announced an additional investment of Rs 2,000 crore. 'We are adding 30 new delivery stations in cities like Nagpur, Panchkula, Hubli, Mohali, Howrah, Indore, and many more. This expansion will substantially improve the same-day and next-day delivery speed for customers in not just these cities, but also all of the areas close to the cities,' Abhinav Singh, VP of Operations at Amazon India, said.
