Dark-store boom speeds up deliveries but shrinks quick-commerce rider pay
12-08-2025
Nilaya Varma, Group CEO & Co-founder, Primus Partners, shares his view on the evolving dynamics of quick commerce delivery. He highlighted that as dark stores move closer to customers, average metro trip lengths have fallen by 20–30% over the past year, reducing the number of orders that qualify for rider bonuses. To sustain rider incomes, platforms may need consistently high batching rates or a fixed-pay guarantee, as the current model risks creating more frequent but lower-value trips and increasing churn in metro markets.
