Tata-owned BigBasket is expanding its omnichannel grocery strategy through self-service offline outlets and a Hyderabad large-format pilot, aiming to widen India reach amid competition. The company raised $200 million from Tata Digital and is considering an IPO by 2025.

Why this matters

The January 2023 move aligns with recent signals on BigBasket's resurfaced large-format grocery push and offline self-service stores, both positioned to broaden omnichannel reach and widen its India customer base.
