E-commerce platform Flipkart is known for selling fashion and electronics items. From clothes to electronic items, you can buy anything on Flipkart while sitting at home. But now Flipkart is going to launch a new service, in which you can also order food online from Flipkart itself.

According to the information received so far, Walmart and e-commerce company Flipkart may soon start online food ordering service. For this, Flipkart has also signed an agreement with the government-backed Open Network for Digital Commerce.
This means that Flipkart will soon allow its users to order food items online from restaurants and fast food outlets along with shopping. It is believed that Domino's and McDonald's may also join this service.
Talks are going on between Flipkart and ONDC
According to the news so far, talks are going on between Flipkart and ONDC. Flipkart officials are in discussion with ONDC officials to close this partnership.
How Flipkart will work on ONDC
Flipkart works directly on the customer side of the ONDC platform. This will allow users to order food while shopping on Flipkart. Due to this partnership, Flipkart will not need to directly partner with any food delivery person or restaurant. Because ONDC's food vendors can easily see Flipkart users.
Other online food apps will face competition
If Flipkart brings its online food service, it can compete with other online food delivery service providing apps like Swiggy or Zomato. At the same time, users can get the benefit of this service of Flipkart. Customers are likely to get cheap food from Flipkart's online service.
