Meru Cabs and Flipkart have partnered together to provide people with essential items and groceries amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in India. The partnership between Meru and Flipkart will also see the two companies promoting and supporting social distancing norms during the lockdown period.
The partnership will see Meru cabs deliver essential items and groceries to Flipkart customers at their door-step. The service will be initially available in Bangalore, Delhi-NCR and Hyderabad. The two companies will ensure that their supply chain is safe and sanitised as well.
