Food delivery giant DoorDash is reportedly in advanced negotiations to acquire grocery delivery service Instacart in a potential deal valued at around $17 billion, according to a source familiar with the discussions. The move would mark one of the largest mergers in the on-demand economy, combining two major players in the rapidly expanding delivery sector. Industry analysts suggest the deal could reshape competition in both food and grocery delivery markets, though final terms and regulatory approvals remain uncertain. The announcement, if confirmed, would signal a major shift in how consumers access essential services through digital platforms.
