Flipkart, a Walmart-owned e-commerce platform, has revamped its offerings for brands with the launch of an insights platform called IRIS.

IRIS, short for Insights and Research Intelligence System, purportedly assists homegrown direct-to-consumer (D2C) and new-age brands in gaining a deeper understanding of consumer behavior on the marketplace.

According to Flipkart, IRIS is set to furnish brands with comprehensive reports on user behavior insights, market trends, and industry-standard comparative analysis, aiding them in deciphering consumer perception of their brands.

Brands and sellers on the marketplace can utilize these reports to refine their marketing campaigns and improve customer engagement. Flipkart also asserts that data from IRIS will enable brands to expand their offline presence more efficiently.

Furthermore, the company announced the promotion of Sandeep Karwa, formerly the business head for fashion and softlines, as the new vice president leading Flipkart Ads. He assumed responsibility for the advertising vertical of the platform in January.

The e-commerce behemoth aims to capture a larger share of online ad spending from D2C brands. The company noted that retail media spending constitutes only 15%–20% of digital advertising expenditure in India, in contrast to 25%–30% in the US and 55%–60% in China.

The company claimed that digital advertising expenditure in India surged to over 25–30% in the first quarter of 2024. Despite this rapid growth, they emphasized that there is tremendous potential for further expansion.

This marks the second development this month for Flipkart, intended to strengthen its relationship with sellers. In May, the e-commerce giant revised its rate cards for sellers, removing collection and shipping charges and instead incorporating fixed and commission charges.

The debut of IRIS aligns with the company’s simultaneous plans to venture into the quick commerce vertical. The e-commerce giant has appointed Hemant Badri, Senior Vice President and Group Head of Supply Chain, as the head of the quick commerce business.

D2C brands are undoubtedly set to become a critical category for Flipkart in its quick commerce business, with IRIS expected to be extended to brands selling through this channel as well.

Regarding Flipkart IRIS, Karwa stated, “With Flipkart IRIS, our objective is to furnish brands with actionable insights regarding their business performance on Flipkart. By enabling brands to make strategic decisions supported by comprehensive data, the platform is positioned to unlock unprecedented growth opportunities for brands on the platform.”

Coincidentally, Flipkart is aiming to enhance its revenue streams and lower costs as it strives for profitability, in anticipation of a potential move towards public markets.

Around 33% of iD Fresh Food‘s sales originate from quick commerce platforms, while its traditional e-commerce sales have experienced a 25% decline over the past two years, as reported by Moneycontrol.

Sales through quick commerce channels have witnessed a remarkable surge, skyrocketing by over 100 times. According to the report, the company, which earned nearly INR 500 crore in FY23, generated INR 17 crore monthly from quick commerce in the first three months of 2024. This is a substantial increase from INR 15 lakh per month, recorded two years ago.

The report highlighted that the convenience of quick commerce has shifted household habits, diminishing the necessity for planning meals a day in advance, as everything is now accessible within just 30 minutes.

PC Musthafa, the Founder and CEO of iD Fresh Food, pointed out that the expansion of quick commerce hasn’t suppressed offline sales, which continue to be the main revenue source. Nevertheless, he stressed the growing importance of convenience and predictability to customers, underscoring the trend towards quick commerce compared to scheduled delivery models.

Among iD’s leading quick commerce platforms are Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, Blinkit, and BB Now. Musthafa noted that while Bigbasket has been surpassed by others, this change reflects consumer inclination towards quick commerce. However, Bigbasket retains its strength in scheduled deliveries, especially for long shelf-life FMCG products.

Despite critics questioning the financial viability of quick commerce models, Musthafa remains confident in their potential profitability. He points to uniform margins across platforms and advanced technological infrastructure as evidence of this potential.

He emphasised that quick commerce has provided a performance marketing model that enables precise measurement of advertising effectiveness, in contrast to traditional advertising mediums like streaming platforms, tv, or newspapers, where calculating the impact of spending is difficult.

Quick commerce allows for the immediate measurement of the outcome of every rupee spent on advertisements. According to Moneycontrol, iD usually targets a return on investment ranging from 1x to 3x. Through daily reports from quick commerce platforms, they quickly determine the sales generated from banner ads. This direct customer interaction facilitates efficient conversion, offering substantial opportunities for brands.

The swift rise of quick commerce is evident, with contenders like Blinkit and Zepto emerging as leaders in this unique market landscape. Flipkart‘s recent venture into this realm indicates further growth, heightening competition with established players such as Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart, and BigBasket.

Meanwhile, BB Now, associated with BigBasket, saw a growth of 14%.

Likewise, regarding monthly active users (MAU), Blinkit witnessed a 64% increase, Zepto surged by 93%, and BB Now saw an 18% rise.
