For those living in the urban centres of India - and increasingly in the country's smaller cities and towns - almost anything can be delivered via shopping apps, many of which can deliver groceries and other essentials in the time it takes to hard boil an egg and for less than 50 cents.
While only 6% of India's $900bn retail market comes from e-commerce, the sector is one of the fastest growing in the world. In 2022, 200 million people in India bought something online.
But in a country of 1.4 billion people, with the economy growing faster than almost anywhere else, companies and analysts say these numbers still only scratch the surface.
By 2027, the number of online shoppers is predicted to rise to 500 million in a market worth $170bn.
Some analysts fear the rise in e-commerce has opened the door for large businesses to build monopolies at a cost to the vibrant traditional marketplace, while others say the boom has exploited India's growing gig workforce.
The sudden rise of e-commerce is all the more remarkable given that, unlike in the west, where vast supermarket chains virtually control the market, regulations mean India has retained its hyperlocal way of shopping.

I hoped Finland would be a progressive dream.I've had to think again Mike Watson
Oulu is five hours north from Helsinki by train and a good deal colder and darker each winter than the Finnish capital. From November to March its 220,000 residents are lucky to see daylight for a couple of hours a day and temperatures can reach the minus 30s. However, this is not the reason I sense a darkening of the Finnish dream that brought me here six years ago.
