Agent vs Humans

The race to checkout

8 TO 10 SEPTEMBER 2026GFF 2026, BKC MUMBAI

A limited number of AirPods and iPhones. 40% off. Exclusively for Mastercard users. Live on BigBasket.

India’s first agent versus human race, and you get to pick a side.

The proposition

AirPods and iPhones at 40% off, exclusive to Mastercard, live on the BigBasket beta app.

Here is the catch. The offer stays open for five minutes. Once on 9 September, somewhere between 2 and 3 PM. Again on 10 September, same hour.

So you have a choice to make.

AGENT

Send an agent.

Authorise it once, set your guardrails, walk away.

It buys when the price drops, whether you are in a session, in a queue for coffee, or nowhere near your phone.

HUMAN

Race for it yourself.

Sit with the app open for an hour and hit buy faster than everyone else in the room.

One of these is going to look smarter by 3 PM.

Open to Global Fintech Fest attendees only. You collect at the venue. No collection, no order.

For people who would rather not spend an hour refreshing.

Read the rules and T&C before you start. Participating means you accept them.

    Only the first 500 people get to set up an agent. After that, authorisations close.

  2. 02

    Download the BigBasket beta app.

  3. 03

    On Android, register as a beta user during download. Google approval can take up to 20 minutes, so do not leave this until 2 PM.

  4. 04

    Open the Beta Agent chat and check whether authorisation is still open.

  5. 05

    If it is, authorise the agent for the product you want.

  6. 06

    Then stop thinking about it. When the offer opens, your agent buys, subject to stock, while you enjoy GFF.
