Snacks giant PepsiCo has appointed Dunzo a grocery delivery application to deliver its iconic brands such as Lay’s, Kurkure, Doritos to its customers’ doorsteps as companies look to strengthen their feet to go for the last mile deliveries during COVID-19 lockdown.
Though the PepsiCo’s partnership with Dunzo will take off in Bengaluru, other cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Gurgaon and Jaipur will soon experience their services too, said the spokesperson of the company.
To place an order, customers can select snack brands on ‘daily grocery’ on Dunzo’s app, and the same will be delivered to their doorstep within an hour of ordering. Along with chips brand Lay’s and Kurkure, Dunzo will also deliver Doritos and Quaker in various combinations or can be ordered as separate menu. The company is currently taking prepaid orders only to be on safer side and avoid contact.
“The tie-up with Dunzo will further strengthen our ‘Direct-to-Customer’ initiative and provide our products at the customers’ doorstep. By complying with the safety norms of social distancing and contactless delivery, we want to ensure that our consumers have uninterrupted and safe access to our products,” Dilen Gandhi, Senior Director, Marketing — Foods category, PepsiCo India, said.
According to the company, to ensure that the customers are able to procure products safely, PepsiCo India and Dunzo are taking safety and hygiene precautions during both pick up of stock from distributors and delivery at the consumer’s end.
