Gareebi? A huge factor is that people agree to work on 15-20 order fee, this won't be possible out of India

I think it's sometimes useful to order online. Not always. There was a post swiggy and Zomato are charging 580 rupees for a product, where as the restuarant was 400.

Here , I understand delivery fee/GST /platform fee are included in online delivery platform, but they are also increasing the price of the actual product, in this case they inflated the price from 400 to 460 rupees and charging GST on top of this. Which is absolutely wrong.

Hence, occasionally ordering from these places is advisable.

I'm an ardent believer in QC, but I feel it will run out of fuel sometime. You cannot expand beyond a certain number of cities, and you cannot expand to high consideration categories.

When you are unable to grow at this rates anymore, the next step would be to turn out a net profit. When you attempt to do that, Indian families that love the convenience right now, will start realizing that the nearby store is cheaper and worth the very small inconvenience.

I'm super bullish on QC still, but I feel it is a slight hype cycle.

Yeah nobody would want to accept this but unemployed, unskilled youth. Who are ok with borderline slavery.

QC was also quite popular in China and used to be big in Indonesia

7-eleven does deliveries (mostly under 30 mins) in Thailand, albeit it charges user equivalent of ₹150 as delivery fees regardless of total bill, and AFAIK they're profitable.

Nothing special or this kind of Statics are the reason behind it. Over the period Indians (including me) have a feeling that purchasing anything from online is a social status and we believe that we can get it at a better minimum price and that is actually really wrong.

And most of the educated people believe that it's a time saving when we purchase online. (but that's not the real truth)

Example : Heading to the market and getting vegetables is a bad one than purchasing the same from a big basket.

All are welcome to smash and spread hatred and damaging my thoughts in the reply section.

Because of low labour charges, that factor alone makes it possible here

Read this earlier and was wondering how and why the inexpensive human cost was not mentioned 🤔

In nutshell it is a just a cheap labour cost that is enabling quick commerce in india
