# Quick commerce companies in India: the apps brands should know

Rewalto counts the quick commerce apps in India by their dark stores, every week. This post lists those apps and what a brand should check on each: whether the app has a store serving a pin code, and whether a product is listed and in stock there. The counts are share of dark stores, not orders or GMV.

## Key takeaways

- Rewalto's dark-store map counts the quick commerce apps it finds every week; this post reads the latest count live.
- The list is of data sources, not a ranking by orders or GMV, which Rewalto does not publish.
- Check three things before selling: the pin codes served, the product listed and in stock, and dated readings over time.
- For each app's share of all stores, read the market share page, which uses the same count.

This post is the timely take. The evergreen how-to is the guide [How to sell on Blinkit, and 3 checks after you list](https://rewalto.com/guides/how-to-sell-on-blinkit), which covers the topic in full.

## What is this list, and what is it not?

It is the apps in Rewalto's weekly dark-store count, listed as data sources. It is not a ranking of orders or GMV, which Rewalto does not publish, and it is not a shopper's guide to delivery speed.

A store is counted once however many pin codes it serves. Counts are what the apps show shoppers, so they are a floor, not a census, and they are not figures from the companies.

For each app's share of all stores, see [quick commerce market share by dark-store count](https://rewalto.com/data/quick-commerce-market-share). For what a dark store is, see [what is a dark store](https://rewalto.com/blog/what-is-a-dark-store).

## Which apps are in the weekly dark-store count?

Rewalto's dark-store map counts the quick commerce apps it finds, store by store, every week, and shows each count with the day it was taken.

Counts are what the apps show shoppers, so they are a floor, not a census, and not figures from the companies. The free [dark-store map](https://rewalto.com/data/dark-stores) lists every store, and [quick commerce beyond the metros](https://rewalto.com/data/quick-commerce-beyond-the-metros) splits the count by city tier.

- Each app's dark stores and cities are on the live [dark-store map](https://rewalto.com/data/dark-stores), read with the day of the count.

| App | Dark stores | Share of all stores | Cities with a store |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [All apps](https://rewalto.com/data/dark-stores) | On the live map | 100% | On the live map |

Counts from Rewalto's weekly dark-store map, read live with the day of the count. Share of dark stores, not of orders or GMV.

## What should a brand check before it sells there?

Three checks, in this order. Each one reads what the app shows a shopper at an address, with the date of the reading.

- Does the app serve the pin codes that matter? Use the free [dark-store pin code lookup](https://rewalto.com/tools/dark-store-pin-code-lookup). A result means a dark store was seen serving that pin code in the latest weekly count, not a live delivery promise. The [coverage map](https://rewalto.com/tools/dark-store-coverage-map) shows the same for a whole brand.
- Is the product listed and in stock there? An app can serve a pin code and still not list a product, or list it out of stock. See [listed but unavailable](https://rewalto.com/guides/listed-but-unavailable), [pin code shelf truth](https://rewalto.com/guides/pincode-shelf-truth) and the free [pin code availability check](https://rewalto.com/tools/pin-code-availability). Assortment per dark store is planned, not live.
- Keep dated readings. Prices and stock are dated readings, not a live feed. [Monitors](https://rewalto.com/monitors) can alert you when a listing you follow changes, and [prices and stock by pin code](https://rewalto.com/data/commerce) keeps the history.

## Is share of stores the same as share of orders?

No. A store count says how many stores an app runs. It does not say how many orders each store delivers, how large the baskets are or what the app earns. Rewalto publishes store counts only, with the date of each count. The [market share page](https://rewalto.com/data/quick-commerce-market-share) sets out the share of stores for every app and explains the difference.

## How do you get the underlying store records?

The records sit on [dark stores in India](https://rewalto.com/data/dark-stores): one record per store, with its app, city, pin codes, status and dates. Download them from the Rewalto dashboard, call the API (GET /v1/data/dark-stores), use the command line tool, or ask an AI agent with the list_dark_stores MCP tool. See [connect an AI agent](https://rewalto.com/guides/connect-ai-agent-api-cli-mcp) and the [MCP server for India data](https://rewalto.com/guides/mcp-server-india-data).

## Quick answers

### What are the quick commerce companies in India?

Rewalto's weekly count lists the apps it finds dark stores for, as data sources. The list and the store counts are dated on the page and come from the dark-store map.

### How many quick commerce apps does Rewalto count in India?

The number of apps in Rewalto's latest weekly dark-store count, shown with the day of the count. If the catalogue adds or drops an app, the number on this page matches the dark-store map on that day.

### Which quick commerce company has the most dark stores in India?

The [market share page](https://rewalto.com/data/quick-commerce-market-share) ranks every app by its dark stores, with the day of the count. Rewalto publishes store counts, not orders or GMV.

### Is a dark-store count the same as market share?

No. A store count says how many stores an app runs, not how many orders it delivers or what it sells. Rewalto publishes store counts only, with the date of each count.

### Why are some apps not in this list?

The list is the apps in Rewalto's weekly dark-store map; an app with no store count is left out rather than given an invented one. BigBasket's BB Now delivery areas are listed separately and are not counted as stores.

### How does a brand check whether an app serves its pin codes?

Use the free pin code lookup for the latest weekly count of which apps have a dark store seen serving that pin code. Then check whether a given product is listed and in stock there. A missing app is not proof the app does not deliver.

### Do BigBasket's BB Now delivery areas count as dark stores?

No. Rewalto lists BB Now's named delivery areas separately from BigBasket's stores. An area is not a store.
