Shiprocket alternative?

I use shiprocket as our delivery partner but most of the time our small business has to pay for weight discrepancies and for most RTOs (which on real ground it shouldn’t, as we do follow the guidelines and give our best information possible [complete transparency]) (One incident about RTO was such that my client was in his office campus and yet the delivery person didn’t deliver the goods and said the client was not available and nor did answer the call. At the same time, i did made a call and enquire about the same with the client to which i got to know that client was in the campus and he didn’t receive any calls!) If anyone from you can suggest us any delivery partner we will be helpful to you!

FedEx bro. FedEx. You’ll always have pick up/RTO issues with aggregators.

How does Shiprocket work?

I ordered something and got a message from Shiprocket that the delivery had been booked with them The tracking however takes me to Bluedart Are they a liasoning shipping platform? Why aren’t companies choosing Bluedart directly? Do they offer great discounts? How are they surviving working like this?

Your thoughts on Zepto brothers

Zepto brothers have been in the news lately for good reasons. The recent fund raise and the Nikhil Kamath podcast. I think both of them are quite brilliant, yes they did have privilege, but they used it quite well. Moreover, both of them seemed to be very well spoken, had the numbers in their mind, quite confident(although Aadit’s body language seemed to be a little off). Considering that these guys are so young, I felt like there’s a lot to learn for me from them.

How do you deal with your moral compass?

Hey! I have been working with a startup for the last two years & this is my first job. When I joined, I was of course this naïve, wide-eyed college graduate who believed in the goodness of people & the 'mission and vision' of the company. However, over the last 2 years I have realised that my company is definitely in a morally grey area in terms of business practices. We're not breaking any laws, but I can see that we're being unfair to our users on many levels. All for user acquisition, growth, revenue, profit. I can not reveal more information, but I can draw parallels! Just like how swiggy/zomato don't pay their fleet of deliverymen enough, or charge restaurants really high commission + reduce quantities for customers, or how Amazon affects small businesses & their profit margins, my company is also lowkey being unfair to our users. How do you deal with this feeling of guilt? Do you separate it from your personal life? Do you switch it off?
