Even as quick commerce is slowly fading in many markets and several heavily-funded startups have folded in the past two years, India is emerging as a striking outlier where the model remains vibrant.
Zomato’s Blinkit leads the quick commerce market in India, having cornered as much as 46% of the market share by GMV in the quarter that ended in December, according to a new analysis.
Reliance Retail-backed Dunzo, which pioneered the quick commerce model in India, has virtually lost its entire market share.
However, the long-term sustainability of the quick commerce model remains to be seen.
Flipkart is weighing entering the quick commerce market by as early as May this year, TechCrunch reported last week.
Using a small model of the lander, Altemus demonstrated how engineers believe the spacecraft, called Odysseus, made its descent given the most recent telemetry data.
“The vehicle is stable near or at our intended landing site,” Altemus said.
Part of the reason for that is because the onboard camera, an instrument called EagleCam, was powered down during landing.
The company originally thought Odysseus was actually upright, but Altemus said that was based on “stale” telemetry data.
Much of the mission’s success came down to very quick thinking by Intuitive Machines’ mission controllers — and just a stroke of very good luck.
Google announced today at CES that it has collaborated with Samsung to combine their sharing solutions into a singular cross-Android solution under the Quick Share name.
The new offering grows the network of devices that users can share content with across the Android ecosystem, including Chromebooks.
Back in 2020, Google introduced Nearby Share to make it easy for users to share files across devices.
Samsung also has its own similar capability called Quick Share.
Google also announced that it is working with PC manufacturers like LG to expand Quick Share to Windows PCs as a pre-installed app.

As 2023 comes to a close, a critical cohort of tech companies has regained the value it lost after the summer rally, potentially setting the stage for a stronger IPO cycle in early 2024 than some may anticipate.
Earlier this year, we saw three companies go public in quick succession: Arm, Instacart and Klaviyo‘s IPOs represented a liquidity peak, but they failed to inspire other tech companies to a rush towards the public market.
The three companies had pretty good IPOs, too, but they mostly failed to make the sort of splash some had hoped for.
Arm’s stock has performed well compared to its IPO price (trading at $71.30 per share today, up from its $51 list price), but Klaviyo and Instacart haven’t fared as well.
Klaivyo’s shares are trading 24 cents above its IPO price, while Instacart’s stock is trading at about $5 less than its listing price this morning.
