BigBasket has acquired RainCan, a Pune-based grocery subscription delivery service for an undisclosed amount. This development was first reported by Entrackr, citing a notification RainCan sent to its users. RainCan will be renamed BBdaily, according to the report.

As of now, the Android app has 50,000 installs. RainCan also seems to have an inbuilt wallet.
