Food delivery company Swiggy and personal concierge startup Dunzo have both tied up with wholesalers that run dark stores to do hyperlocal deliveries, three people aware of the companies’ operations said.

Hyperlocal deliveries, such as the ones that Swiggy and Dunzo attempt, are completed in two ways — through dark stores and in partnership with retail stores.
