I never said its fair. I said its fairly common as in all these apps to it. Like it or not there is a price for convenience. Grocery margins are anyway thin with a huge burn rate, so yeah all quick commerce apps try to make money off us however they can.

Surge pricing kicks in when demand exceeds the number of serviceable customers.  
 If the customers are happy to pay the surge, and you're hitting your max stress levels, it is good for the business. 
  
 Either Zepto is far from its current capacity, or they don't know how to make money.

Software Engineer

Yeah.  
 It's a dark tactic to increase ARPU

India's retail distributors are pushing the antitrust authority to look into Blinkit, Swiggy, and Zepto for what they claim are predatory pricing tactics that threaten local retailers. Quick commerce is booming, but it might be messing with the traditional distribution game.

Blinkit Expands to Smaller Cities, Plans Rapid Growth: Zomato CFO

Journalist

It wouldn't have been much of an issue had they taken 2 days to ship it.
You gained good PR, and revenue of the day.
But at what cost?

But again, it is India - people will work 70hrs and not question why

I had to travel somewhere urgent and I didn't have earbuds so I ordered one from blinkit and guess what earbuds box was empty so I immediately reported that on blinkit and got my refund but what they did is they charged that amount from the delivery partner. I felt bad about him but they should fix this problem if they want to grow a number of categories on their app otherwise they will remain a 10 min grocery app forever.

Guys is this real? If the battery charge decreases the price increases. I was trying to book flights( I was in a hurry) , and at the moment the charge was below 20, prices were jumping. But the moment I plugged it in the power Bank the price decreased. 
(👀 Anyone from goib3bo can answer)

One must always be careful with automated notifications 🙈

Swiggy is slowly becoming unusable. They have already increased minimum amount in Instamart for free delivery from 99 to 149 to 199 now. This is really becoming a problem. Is there any other alternative to this? They are slowly showing their true colours now that they are aiming profitability.

Swiggy FEE Mafia

Yeah. But that's the price you'll have to pay for convenience. They were always gonna start making money one day

When an order value is above INR 199, you folks used to deduct the delivery fees automatically. But now, you have made it as a manual option hidden under layers of UI.

Do you want your users to keep digging your UI to click and avail the free delivery?

Shame on you Zepto!
