But what's another amazon gonna do?. 
  
 Not sure why there is so much hype around zepto. Are they doing something better than others (not questioning, just asking).

Speed and quality.  
 Amazon's seller have ruined the platform. Zepto still has that control

Ab ho gya na fundraise? What's the point of saying these things now. You are not listed. You have already raised close to $1bn. It's not like this is bringing new customers.
What's the point of all this PR now?
Why not focus on execution instead of saying things that will bite you in the ass in the future

Zepto - I don't understand

Business analyst

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?

Not sure if we ever needed glasses for 10 mins. If it's not worse for the environment, and can be done with good economics, it's actually the best thing ever.

I'm just baffled at how every new thing is first criticized by everyone. Then, if it's truly amazing, it becomes the new normal very soon.

In the beginning, everyone was like "Why do we need grocery in 10 mins". Then it became normal. And now we're on to unimaginable stuff.

Great pre-marketing, but is this a new auto insurance product? Something new altogether? Felt a little confused after the video

Part time seller of posters here. Have burnt lot of money on Amazon ads - made few sales as well but ROAS is very low. Was thinking of using Shopify and using SEO to drive traffic. 
Tried Flipkart as well but found the policies and the support very poor. 
Its very sad to see Amazon and Flipkart monopolising almost all Ecommerce traffic in India.

People at A want to move to B, because culture at A is bad and B seems good. 

People at B want to move to C, because culture at B is bad and C seems good. 

People at C want to move to D, because culture at C is bad and D seems good. 

And finally

People at D want to move to A, because culture at D is bad and A seems good. 

Includes everything from Google, Atlassian, PhonePe, Swiggy, Microsoft, Amazon and everyone. 

People leave mainly because of their managers. Or people just want a reason to switch and get a hike. Or just want not to miss out on fomo at other companies.

Culture went bad?
