Dunzo v/s Zepto: How come laws of physics are not holding up?

Dunzo is struggling for survival while Zepto is turning into a unicorn. How come laws of financial markets working in opposite directions for both. Both Zepto and Dunzo operate in same segment which is Quick commerce. What is the catch?

I order from Zepto 2-3 times a day. Sometimes use zomato or Swiggy. Never used Dunzo

Woah, please don’t stop ordering. They’ll see a 90% valuation cut otherwise!

I’ve analysed in detail about how Zepto strategy is better but thats too long for here.

I’ll just say that I was a hardcore instamart user. Somehow Zepto managed to acquire me as a customer and retain me and is getting frequency out of me. Something Dunzo couldn’t achieve.
Says loads about effectiveness of Zepto’s strategy.

Dunzo never had its own store to begin with. Rest of them do. Dunzo reinvented too late too little.

Zepto will be in same position as Dunzo in next 3-5 years. Remember private market valuation is all about finding next investor.

Zepto stole Dunzo’s market share and had a better product from the beginning. They’re firmly in third place behind instamart and Blinkit

They're also only behind Zomato and Swiggy cuz these two built out a bit distribution channel and customer base over almost a decade.

If Zepto had been around that long, the gap would be much lesser.

P.S. - I'm a loyal Zepto user for QuickCommerce and Zomato for food delivery. Never use Swiggy.

Reliance pulls representatives from Dunzo’s board

Just read this after getting to know earlier today that one of the cofounders have resigned. Didnt even know that the cofounders never had a stake, they’d just get a salary. Super weird.

Extremely sad, I feel things wouldn't have been this bad if Reliance did not completely paralyze Dunzo

Heard from a friend who used to work there, apparently they see employee count reducing majorly, week on week. ...
