Airtel’s Earlier Attempt Paused

Bharti Airtel was the first to leverage quick commerce services for 10-minute delivery of SIM cards; however, the service was put on hold following DoT scrutiny. Since the SIM delivery is already under scrutiny, we believe Jio has now partnered with Instamart to come up with the delivery of Jio phones. However, according to a recent report, Jio’s 4G feature phones see a waning interest amid a preference for smartphones.
