Why is Reliance Betting on Quick Commerce Despite Losing ₹1,979 Cr. to it?

Remember when we had to wait 7-10 days for a delivery? Yeah, just a few years ago, we were all glued to our "my orders" section, obsessively tracking our packages, praying they'd arrive a little early— or at least on time. The excitement of that "out for delivery" notification was real. Then came 2-day deliveries, and we thought, "Wow, that's fast!" But now? A whole two days feels like an eternity. We want things abhi, abhi, abhi—like an errant child throwing a tantrum for a candy bar. This race for instant gratification has given rise to a new breed of retail: quick commerce, where your order zooms through the streets and lands at your doorstep in record time.  Of course, seeing the scope, everyone wanted a slice of the segment.

So, it did what it does best and looked for a shortcut to enter the game by acquiring Dunzo. It was a total disaster. Think about it: when was the last time you saw a Dunzo delivery partner?  It's almost ironic that Dunzo was the one to start the whole "get it in minutes" trend. So, how did this pioneer fail? Let's find out!
