Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Quick commerce platform Blinkit has increased the notice periods for its senior employees to as much as two months, all thanks to the cutthroat competition in India's delivery scene. This change is all about keeping top talent around as rivals like Zepto and Swiggy ramp up their hiring.

How important is Blinkit to Zomato? How long will the 10 min delivery burn games go on for? 

Any insider POVs?

Blinkit - Zomato

Business Operations

Are any folks around here from Blinkit ?
How is the company doing?
Will it survive in the long run?

Got an offer from Blinkit.

This is basis their model on Zomato - accounting for growth potential
The Blinkit acquisition and what Deepinder Goyal has pulled off with it, is unfathomable. Truly legendary.

Blinkit is now more valuable than Zomato according to Goldman Sachs

This marketing stint done by founders is definitely on rockets. They come on specific events, and later ain't visible. 




P.S: Singles on LinkedIn watching their subject rather than graphs are crying in the very corner and are somewhat PROUD for saving money

Zepto vs Blinkit

Growth Manager

While I'm proud of these two revolutionising the quick commerce space, I somehow have a bad feeling about this

Profits aren't coming, money is flowing
Don't know what the VCs are seeking?
Why bake a a pie that you can't eat later?

Too much money too soon, where have we seen that?

Hi folks, 

I'm Aadit, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. We're one of India's fastest growing consumer internet companies and are today present across 10+ cities in the country. 

I'd love to chat with you folks about my journey in building Zepto, my thoughts on the quick commerce space, organization building, amongst other things.

Ask away!

I'm Aadit Palicha, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. Ask me anything!

Hey @Aadit  
I’m @salt  
  
Some questions from my side: 
1. As companies scale there are many diverging opinions on how things should run. How do you ensure that the best ideas drive the company even though they might be in direct conflict with your point of view?  
  
2. What kind of impact have you seen via use of Machine Learning to streamline operational efficiency wrt initial benchmarks? 
  
3. What is the key focus area that you are currently working on? 
  
4. How do you balance creating shareholder value versus customer value?

Prime example that one should not just study foreign markets and take everything else for granted.
The west already has much better convenience stores at every nook and corner. Something was different in India. 

Today BlinkIt eclipsed Zomato valuation. Instamart is a key focus for Swiggy. Zepto is on a great path.
All the VCs (except Nexus who backed Zepto) in India lost out in this race. They just looked at the west, and said it won't be possible. Grofers (Blinkit) & Zepto proved them wrong. 

For entrepreneurs: Do not be derailed by VC speak, they will hardly ever get big bets right.

Quick Commerce worked in India, didn't work in the west
