Quick Commerce worked in India, didn't work in the west

Prime example that one should not just study foreign markets and take everything else for granted. The west already has much better convenience stores at every nook and corner. Something was different in India.

Today BlinkIt eclipsed Zomato valuation. Instamart is a key focus for Swiggy. Zepto is on a great path. All the VCs (except Nexus who backed Zepto) in India lost out in this race. They just looked at the west, and said it won't be possible. Grofers (Blinkit) & Zepto proved them wrong.

For entrepreneurs: Do not be derailed by VC speak, they will hardly ever get big bets right.
