Mapping India’s quick commerce, honestly.

The short version

QuickCommerceMap is a public map and dataset of 4,081 dark stores across India - every location run by Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart, refreshed monthly from public signals.

It’s free for everyone to read. It’s funded by paid research reports and licensed datasets bought by investors, operators, and newsrooms. It’s independent of every platform it maps. It’s operated by Apexlayer Technologies Private Limited - a DPIIT-recognised, MSME-registered company headquartered in Gurugram.

From the founder

Why this exists

I’m Sachin Gurjar. I built QuickCommerceMap because nobody had a complete, public map of India’s dark store infrastructure - and I had access to one through building QuickCommerceJobs.com, the sister product that surfaces hiring at these stores.

Quick commerce in India runs on a network of roughly four thousand dark stores. They’re not glamorous. They’re the warehouses wedged between residential blocks where ten to twenty workers assemble your 10-minute grocery order. They opened so fast and in such a fragmented way that the only people with a clear picture of the network were the platforms themselves. Workers couldn’t see them. Researchers couldn’t see them. Journalists writing about the sector had to triangulate from earnings calls.

It felt wrong to keep this data locked up. So I made it public - for workers, researchers, journalists, and anyone curious about how quick commerce is changing India’s cities.

The dataset started as a side effect: I needed it to power QuickCommerceJobs. Once I had it cleaned and structured, the case for keeping it private became weaker every week. Investors were emailing me asking for the underlying CSV. Journalists were asking which platform had more stores in tier-2 cities. Founders of adjacent businesses (last-mile SaaS, real estate, logistics) wanted to know where the warehouses were densifying. None of them had a good source.

So I built the map. Free for the public, paid for the people who want clean structured access. And I wrote down - in plain language — how the data is collected, what its limitations are, and what we will and won’t do with it. Those commitments are below. They’re the most important thing on this page.

The data should belong to everyone who needs it. The cleanup should be paid for by the people who can afford it.

Six commitments

These aren’t marketing slogans. They’re the operating rules for the project. If you ever see us drift from one of them, write to us - we’ll either fix the drift or remove the commitment so the page stays honest.

What we are NOT

Almost as important as the commitments above. A short list of what this project doesn’t do, so nobody mistakes us for something we’re not.

The data behind this site

The numbers below are from the most recent monthly snapshot (April 2026). Every page on the site is generated from this dataset. Every page on the site shows the refresh date in the footer. The full per-store CSV is available under a data license.

Refresh cadence: monthly, on the 1st. New stores discovered between refreshes ship in the next monthly diff. Closures are flagged after 2 consecutive missed scrapes and confirmed in the changelog.

Who built this

QuickCommerceMap is operated by Apexlayer Technologies Private Limited, a private limited company incorporated in India under CIN U58201HR2025PTC135312. Apexlayer is also the publisher of the sister product QuickCommerceJobs.com (jobs at dark stores) and Annotara (data annotation tooling).
