Flipkart has hired Kabeer Biswas, co-founder of Indian delivery startup Dunzo, as the Walmart-owned e-commerce group expands its quick commerce business in the world’s most populous nation.

The move, confirmed to TechCrunch by a source familiar with the situation, follows Flipkart engaging with Biswas over a potential acquisition of embattled startup last year, TechCrunch first reported. The talks fell due to complication in the ownership structure of Dunzo, which counts Reliance Retail as one of its largest backers.

Reliance has all but written off Dunzo in the quarters since.
