Quite a few D2C fmcg brands, even the ones we see featured on SharkTank India wouldn't survive if this channel was non existent. Where would they have gone otherwise?

You’d have ordered from your neighbourhood Top In Town or family mall

i would have been saving 10k/month of delivery charges and random purchases.

My Take - Probably there would have been less 2 wheeler accidents rather than driving revenue growth for all these companies.

I had heard Waycool was also talking to raise at unicorn valuation, but they've fired like 300 people on Monday, so that's pretty uncertain. What to make of Zepto, though?

India's 109th unicorn?

- Ola's Bhavish Aggarwal plans to use robots in dark stores, unlike competitors who rely on human labor.

Ola Enters Quick Commerce Market, Challenging Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, and Flipkart Minute

Journalist

I am currently building Kirana.Pro an anti Zepto model where we don’t have any dark stores. Instead we partner with nearby Kirana stores. What do you think of this idea? Can it win like how Namma Yatri won against Ola and Uber?

Anti Zepto model by partnering with Kiranas

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.

- Dark stores are being tested with employees at Flipkart’s Bengaluru headquarters, with plans to stabilize and scale up the service in specific areas.
- Flipkart’s quick commerce push is driven by revenue potential, with top platforms like Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, and Blinkit expected to surpass $1 Bn in revenue for FY24.
- This development follows Flipkart’s expansion into digital payments and fintech products, highlighting its strategy to adapt to the evolving digital commerce landscape.

Flipkart Plans 100 Dark Stores Ahead of Big Billion Days Sale

How long will Zepto go on with cash burning?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

This is a big big number

Now imagine, we did not have Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, Zepto, Dunzo (its pretty much there)
What would your next bet be?
Well 
1. You have some of your local grocery stores who would deliver for you, but it might take a bit of time 1-2 hrs etc. and you need to build a relation, and only some stores do that
2. Restaurants need to have delivery available who if anyone remembers, it was a pain to coordinate, sometimes they dont do beyond 3 kms. You will have to go on your own. Which will also cost you money. Restaurant deliveries usually have a delivery fee, plus the cost of food. There is still a lot of coordination involved to get what you want. Brochures, phone number etc. 
3. Having a full time person who will do all of these for you, Building tends to have someone who also delivers ( like a chotu or someone )

So lets take the cost of 3 for now if you needed full time
1. Monthly cost - ~ Rs. 10,000 - 15,000 if you needed full time
2. What are you spending on swiggy etc?
 1. No of times you are ordering: lets say twice a day
  1. 2 * 30 * 20 = Rs. 1200
  2. Lets say total amount you are paying is 10000 in amount
  3. Some folks might even argue that you restaurenters are charging 30% extra. ( lets say 30% on 10,000 ). 
  4. So lets factor in 3000 Rs more, so we have total sum, 4200 now.
  5. Time saved = 20 * 15 minutes = 5 hrs a month

So we saw three choices
You can do things on your own
5 hrs of your own time ( which does not cover your cost to move around, so if anyone does not have a vehicle, they have to either walk more, or pay for auto etc )
Spending on convenience Rs. 4200 
Spending if you had a chotu - Rs.10,000. This is debatable, you can argue, this person can also will end up cleaning and doing 3-4 other things.

Some will also say restaurants mark to and sell. My request to you is, even with all the markup how much extra are you paying. And then compare to your alternatives before them.
If someone has a better math or see any flaws in this. share input
