Quick Commerce channel entry & scale

Northern India, metro market focus

THE SITUATION

A well-established traditional sweets and namkeen brand — beloved in its home market for product quality and unique taste — wanted to expand its reach beyond its local retail presence into the fast- growing Quick Commerce channel. With the Indian traditional snacks market at significant scale, and QCom platforms rapidly becoming the dominant impulse purchase channel for food, the opportunity was clear. The challenge: QCom requires a completely different commercial approach — dark store listings, platform-specific brand and product ads, pricing strategy, and sustained investment in visibility. INTIN was brought in to design and execute the full QCom entry and scale strategy.
