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.

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

Some three dudes on Twitter launched an app swish in HSR. This is getting out of hand now, do we really need chai to be delivered in 10 minutes? saw some of the tweets posting about how they got delivery in 10-min. I think we are lacking great ideas in the ecosystem.

Quick commerce being a huge example

All the naysayers who said this is ridiculous will slowly be proved wrong

Title is from post comments Why'd anyone need this in 10-15 minutes?

They are planning to build a 10 story building inside the park and the protest is to stop that. Not an activist myself, just came across this today while visiting.

These past 6 months my performance at work has been dwindling and one primary reason I attribute is memory loss. I find it difficult to recall key points of mails, design reviews, MoMs etc. and often end up missing out things at assigned tasks. What's scarier is that it not only applies to new concepts, I often find myself forgetting even formerly familiar things. During morning updates and discussions I find myself giving uncertain inputs and asking shaky questions because I find it hard to remember key terms, figures etc. I sometimes even forget to pick up some assigned tasks altogether. Random brain freezes have become everyday affair. . Sleep-wise it has been little medium-poor but not so bad that could explain such drastic changes. I'm 30 yr old, male, unmarried and don't have any major health issues (except some stress / anxiety and accompanying Irritable Bowel Syndrome condition). . If anyone else experienced this, how have you dealt with it?
