A coconut vendor in Bengaluru has gone viral for cleverly advertising a price difference between his coconuts and those sold by quick commerce apps like Zepto, Blinkit, and BigBasket. The poster claims that while these apps charge between ₹70 and ₹80 for coconuts, his local shop offers them for just ₹55, highlighting the savings for customers. The ad has sparked discussions on social media, raising concerns about how high delivery charges from quick commerce apps might impact small businesses.
The post, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @peakbengaluru, garnered over 8,000 views, with users praising the vendor’s creative approach. Some users even shared their own experiences with similar pricing differences. This advertisement has fueled conversations about the sustainability of quick commerce platforms as they compete with traditional vendors offering more affordable prices.
