Online grocery platform Zepto is taking the next big step in quick commerce. From groceries and essentials to gadgets like iPhones and PlayStations, the platform has already revolutionized online shopping. Now, it looks like cars could be the next big thing in this fast-paced industry. Skoda India's latest teaser hints at something once hard to imagine, ordering a brand-new car on Zepto and having it delivered just like any other online purchase.

Skoda India's latest teaser hints at something once hard to imagine ordering a brand-new car on Zepto and having it delivered just like any other online purchase. In a new online video created with Skoda India, a Zepto delivery executive walks into a Skoda showroom and announces he's there to pick up an order, making the idea of delivering a car as simple as any other online purchase a reality.

The showroom staff then takes the delivery executive to his "order," which turns out to be a Skoda Kylaq, the brand's latest sub-compact SUV. The video wraps up with the message "Skoda x Zepto: Coming soon," and the caption suggests the launch date is set for February 8.

The teaser doesn't provide exact details but hints that Skoda cars might soon be available for purchase via Zepto. However, it's still unclear how the process will work. The ad doesn't clarify if Zepto will deliver cars within minutes, like with groceries, or if the process will be more time-consuming due to paperwork and logistics. Further details are expected to be shared soon.

Zepto's entry into this market might seem unexpected, but it fits into the rapidly growing quick commerce sector in India. Platforms like Zepto, Blinkit, and Swiggy Instamart originally focused on small, everyday items. But now, in response to consumer demand, they are offering high-value products like smartphones, gaming consoles, and other expensive electronics.

If Zepto successfully launches car deliveries, it could revolutionize how cars are sold in India. Car buying typically involves several steps like visiting showrooms, test-driving, completing paperwork, and arranging financing. If quick commerce platforms can simplify this process, it could attract tech-savvy customers who prioritize convenience over traditional dealership experiences.
