Stahl Kitchens and Swiggy Instamart serve up speedy kitchenware
MUMBAI: Stahl Kitchens, one of India’s fastest-growing premium cookware brands, has partnered with Swiggy Instamart to bring its signature tawas, kadhais, frypans, and cookers to doorsteps in record time, sometimes within 10 to 15 minutes.
By joining the quick commerce revolution, Stahl is reshaping how consumers shop for kitchen essentials. What once took a week to deliver can now arrive before your dough rises, as the brand debuts across key metros including Mumbai, Delhi ncr, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Gurugram.
The curated selection on Instamart features Stahl’s acclaimed artisan hybrid and artisan triply ranges, known for their durability, residue-free cooking, and chip-proof performance. Also available are the sleek xpress cookers in 1 litres, 1.5 litres, and 2.5 litres variants, designed for fast, safe, and efficient cooking. To mark the launch, customers can enjoy up to 15 per cent off on cookers and 20 per cent off on other cookware for a limited time.
“India’s culinary landscape revolves around three essential pieces of cookware: tawas, pressure cookers, and kadhais. The inclusion of frypans on Instamart reflects the evolving aspirations of Indian households embracing global cooking trends,” said Stahl Kitchens director & CEO Dhruv Agarwal.
MUMBAI: From flights to tracks, Cleartrip is now trying to keep every journey on the same ticket. Cleartrip, part of Flipkart, has launched train ticket bookings through a partnership with Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, marking its entry into India’s vast rail travel ecosystem.
The integration allows users to search, book and manage train journeys directly within the app, as the company pushes towards becoming a unified, multi-modal travel platform. The move plugs Cleartrip into one of the world’s largest transportation networks, where over 800 million reserved passengers travel annually, alongside a daily footfall of around 23 million across Indian Railways.
The offering includes bookings across routes nationwide, covering General and Tatkal quotas as per Ministry of Railways guidelines. Users can also access real-time seat availability, fare insights, PNR status tracking, berth preferences and digital payment options within a single interface.
The expansion reflects a broader shift in travel platforms from specialising in a single mode to stitching together end-to-end journeys. For Cleartrip, the bet is not just on scale, but on simplifying a system often seen as complex and fragmented.
Company executives said the focus is on embedding predictive intelligence and personalisation into the booking journey, aiming to make everything from discovery to post-booking support faster and more intuitive.
The train booking feature is currently live on the app, with plans to extend it to the web platform soon, signalling a push towards a seamless cross-platform experience.
In a country where railways move billions each year, the next battleground for travel apps may well be decided not in the skies, but on the tracks.
