Flash.co

Been wondering how this startup is gonna become profitable at any point. Going to be the same Cheq or CRED story at best.

For the uninitiated, they have their own flash.co email IDs that you can use for shopping, bookings, etc. that you can use to get discounts and stuff. They also have a nice order tracking UI.

It is doomed. If they layoff I hope they fire the UI/UX design first for such an atrocious app design
