BigBasket is an Indian online grocery and quick-commerce company that operates through its main legal entity, Innovative Retail Concepts Private Limited, headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Founded in 2011 by Hari Menon, Vipul Parekh, V. S. Sudhakar, V. S. Ramesh, and Abhinay Choudhari, the company sells groceries, fresh produce, and household goods online and delivers across more than 60 Indian cities and towns.
The company became part of the Tata Group in May 2021 when Tata Digital acquired a majority stake, and it is now branded as a Tata Enterprise. It runs several service lines including the core bigbasket marketplace, the BB Now 10-minute quick-commerce service, BB Daily subscriptions, and BB Instant, and it has been expanding into categories such as fashion, electronics, pharmacy, and food.
In FY25 the B2C entity, Innovative Retail Concepts, reported operating revenue of about Rs 7,673 crore, down roughly 3% year over year, while net loss widened about 46% to around Rs 1,850 crore as spending rose amid intense quick-commerce competition from Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart. In July 2025 the company appointed Manish Bajoria as Chief Financial Officer, and reports indicate a succession process is underway for long-time CEO Hari Menon.

Practice real questions and get instant feedback before the real thing.
Q: Implement an LRU Cache.
A: An LRU cache evicts the least recently used entry once it hits capacity. You get O(1) operations by pairing a hash map for lookups with a doubly linked list that tracks recency order.
Q: Move all zeroes to the end of the array.
A: Use a two-pointer scan: keep a write index for the next non-zero value, copy non-zero elements forward, then fill the rest with zeroes. It runs in O(n) time and O(1) space.
Q: What is the difference between Client-Side Rendering (CSR) and Server-Side Rendering (SSR)?
A: CSR ships a near-empty HTML shell and builds the page in the browser with JavaScript, while SSR renders full HTML on the server so content arrives ready and is easier to index.
Q: What is JWT and how is it used in authentication? Explain the structure of a JWT token and where it is stored.
A: A JSON Web Token is a signed token with three parts, header, payload, and signature, used to verify a user statelessly. It's usually stored in an HTTP-only cookie or local storage.
