Glance and Swiggy Instamart Join Forces to Make Quick Commerce Quicker

The partnership brings one-tap shopping to Android lock screens, enhancing speed and convenience for millions of shoppers across CPG categories

Bangalore, 22 October 2024: Glance, the world’s leading smart lock screen platform, and Swiggy Instamart, India’s pioneering quick commerce platform, have announced a disruptive partnership to launch a one-tap purchase feature directly from Glance’s smart lock screens. This allows CPG brands on Swiggy Instamart to connect with over 230 million active users from the lock screen of their smartphones, making it easier for users to go from product discovery to purchase.

With 4 out of 5 new Android users in India interacting with Glance’s smart lock screen as their first point of contact, Glance has emerged as the premier discovery platform for brands. Their presence on the most prominent screen of the smartphone enables brands to connect with consumers early, driving both awareness and purchase decisions with ease.

Through this partnership, Glance looks to deliver impactful brand communication directly to users' lock screens at optimal intervals, sparking interest in products and making it easy for users to take action. With a single tap on branded promotional content, users are seamlessly redirected to the corresponding product page on Swiggy Instamart, enabling a quick and effortless purchase for consumers

To deliver this experience, Glance leverages Swiggy Instamart’s user behaviour and preference data to create sharply defined audience cohorts, allowing CPG brands to target consumers more effectively. By combining Swiggy’s user affinity signals with Glance’s engagement metrics, this data-driven approach ensures that promotions reach the right audience at the right time, improving purchase intent and conversion rates for brands.

Glance and Swiggy Instamart have rolled out this innovative approach with five leading CPG brands, including a well-known energy drink that saw a 20% increase in its baseline sales, and a leading nutrition supplement brand that recorded a 10% rise in sales and a 7% gain of market share growth on the platform. On average, these brands experienced over 10% uplift in sales, driven by both existing and new customers, demonstrating the potential of the Glance smart lock screen to drive meaningful consumer action.

Vasuta Agarwal, Chief Business Officer, of InMobi Consumer and Performance Advertising, said, “We are excited to partner with Swiggy Instamart to transform the way India’s CPG brands drive growth on quick commerce. By integrating Glance’s premier screen presence, targeting capabilities and reach of over 230 million users with Swiggy Instamart’s quick commerce convenience, we are setting a new standard for brand engagement in today’s fast-paced digital landscape. With one-tap purchases directly from lock screens, we aim to empower CPG brands to connect with consumers in real-time, effortlessly turning intent into action.”

As Swiggy Instamart continues to grow, we’re excited to collaborate with Glance to engage users instantly, creating real-time connections that translate into tangible business results.”
