JD.com Inc. is exploring a possible foray into food delivery, a top executive said, potentially pitting the Chinese e-commerce giant against two of the country’s most formidable tech companies.
The company has “considered and explored” launching an on-demand food delivery service, JD Retail Chief Executive Officer Xin Lijun said in a Bloomberg TV interview. “As for when we will start doing it, it will depend on our capacity and when we can build up a talent team.”
