Paani ki tarah paisa bahake market kharaab karna aata hai bas. BC existing products ko inprove kar lo na. Ya koi nayi category invent karo. Koi ek cheez to dhang se kar lo.

Expect to see more rowdy delivery drivers on the road. Be prepared to get your expensive cars scratched. I wonder why anyone needs groceries in 5-8mins. We were fine when groceries were bought on weekly basis. It pushed us out of our lazy seats. These quick deliveries are only making us lazy and making delivery boys ride in risky manner.

Ola is in only 1 business and that is the business of raising Money.

Ola cabs are horrible but no he'll launch Ola money,food delivery,prepaid card, ola electric, Ola maps, AI, cloud and what not.

Bhavish know how to sell stories and he'll keep doing and getting richer.

Make hay while sun shines so use discounts and all for new service but do not bat your money on him.

Kyu karna hai quick commerce! Do it for B2B sector instead, too many businesses would die for faster deliveries.
