BigBasket, one of the top online grocery platforms, is all set to enter the 10-minute food delivery space.

The company's CEO, Hari Menon, confirmed the development during an interview with CNBC-TV18.

The first phase of this new offering will include food and beverages from Starbucks, a brand that falls under the Tata Group's umbrella. It is expected to launch as soon as next week.
