A Hyderabad woman turned her curiosity into a quick experiment, pitting three quick-commerce apps – Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart – against each other to determine who delivers the fastest. The results had social media users talking.

Sneha, a student of the Indian School of Business (ISB) studying at the Hyderabad campus, shared this experiment in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter). She and her friend Aryan ordered different items from the apps simultaneously to test their promised delivery times.

Results you ask? Well, Blinkit stole the show, arriving first. Swiggy Instamart followed in second place, while Zepto lagged behind, taking 30 minutes despite its initial promise of 10 minutes.

According to Sneha, a chat with the Zepto delivery partner revealed the delay was due to the store’s distance from the campus.

compiled all the videos
here’s how it went:
> came first at 15 mins (slightly late on what was promised, but the delivery person was so happy, it made our day).
> followed at 20 mins – accurate timing and a super chill delivery guy.
