A structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data, while secondary sources like journals, reports, and online articles were referenced to strengthen the analysis By analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data, this study contributes to a better understanding of how instant delivery platforms like Zepto are not just fulfilling consumer needs but actively shaping them.
