On Tuesday, e-commerce platform ShopClues announced a quick two-day delivery of essential items for its customers in Delhi and Gurugram. The essentials include items related to personal hygiene and safety, groceries, over-the-counter medicines and medical equipment, etc.

"In this current situation, what is important is that our customers have quick access to products that are essential for their daily living without having to step out of their homes to make these purchases and still have them delivered at home as early as possible," said Sanjay Sethi, Chief Executive Officer, ShopClues.

The company has introduced contactless delivery, encouraging customers to pay online for their purchases.
All ShopClues packages will be dropped at the doorsteps to avoid human contact.

"To make this possible, we are very closely aligning our technology and logistic teams so that service to the customer is seamless and quick," Sethi added. The online platform said it will expand this service across the National Capital Region (NCR) shortly.
