To facilitate the delivery of essentials at consumers' doorstep in the fastest and safest manner possible, Flipkart today announced its partnership with modern retail store chain, Vishal Mega Mart.
Under this partnership, consumers across 365 Vishal Mega Mart stores will be able to order products and get them delivered at their doorstep by Flipkart. The products will be available as per the Government guidelines across all zones.
