Tata Digital aka Tata Neu?

What’s the observation about Tata Digital aka Tata Neu in the Industry? I’ve been part of it for quite some time and I’m having a feeling that the insider observations are quite different from what’s known to others.

To summarise my observations:

  1. No vision on running digital business
  2. Toxic leadership
  3. Very bad work life balance
  4. Sub par pay compared to similar orgs
  5. Poor engineering culture
  6. No money to burn anymore - cash crunch
  7. Lot of senior exits
  8. Layoffs across levels

Do you feel the same?

Installed this app 3-4 times only to uninstall it shortly after.

What is this app even used for? 🤔

Hehe. That’s the most obvious question everyone has. The loyalty system under the hood is pretty decent. For someone who uses big basket regularly, the rewards are decent to spend later on Croma or Cliq. Or maybe even 1mg. However the experience is sub par or even poor. So I’m not sure how users would even use it to get things done. The corresponding apps of the brands are actually much better by themselves.

I use Tata Neu for all my purchases. The reward rate offered on Tata Neu coupled with Tata Neu Infinity card is the best in India at the moment.

It is a glorified loyalty program. I mentioned this when they launched but got lot of hate from Tata fan boys.

The loyalty actually works. Have made a lot of discounts and cash backs using it. However the over all experience for a customer is very very lacking. So churn is immense. And cost of acquisition is very high possibly. And it being just a Tata Products only platform makes it not a daily driver.

I used the app once and i felt it more like a single page application that directs you to various other tata websites that are loading within app.

Was extremely slow to the level it was frustrating to use and immediately got uninstalled.

I was invested then in tata teleservices and immediately knee it had no future and exited the share. You see if a shareholder doesn’t believe in your product then your product is simply shit. And shitty products are made in toxic environments.

I know it because i work on one and the toxic dev culture is the real reason it is shitty as fuck

The idea is pretty brilliant, considering the cashback especially with the credit cards but the app sucks so much holy shit. It doesn't even remember your location and everytime you open it defaults to the Mumbai airport for some reason. The UX is shitty and the app feels very slow. Great idea but bad execution.

Great idea but lala leadership gives you neu. Large groups are better off being investors than taking control.
