A few Sundays back, I was sitting with my mom while she talked to her friend on the phone.
Suddenly, I heard her saying, "Why don't you Dunzo it?"
Even though I've been in the tech ecosystem for a while, I was confused, has my duty of delivering stuff to my parents friends' house forever been lifted? Do I no longer have to drive to my aunt's house to drop small items anymore? Have my parents adopted technology faster than I had imagined?
So the curious me asked my mom some questions;

How did you know about Dunzo?
What got you to trust Dunzo with your belongings?
Are you never going to ask me to drop your stuff at your friends' house anymore?

She looked at me and said, "Do you think you're the only one who can use an app?" and "No, I will still ask you to run chores."

Indians are slowly but surely realizing convenience & willing to pay more for it.
After this discussion, my mom asked me to book an Uber for her.

But coming back to Dunzo, we have drafted a short investment thesis on Dunzo for you to skim through.

Feel free to share your thoughts.

Software ate the world. It permeates every walk of our life today. It is truly intertwined with everything we do and surfaces wherever we go. We must ask ourselves; has it grown to support us and improve quality of life as expected in every sense or has it grown unencumbered like a wild weed in some ways and is in need of pruning?

In 1960, Marketing Professor E. Jerome McCarthy popularized the ‘4Ps of marketing’, which are still taught in Marketing 101 in every business school. Product, Place, Price and Promotion have been the go-to framework for many Brand Managers for decades.

👨‍💼 Japanese-Style Entrepreneurship

The world of Japanese business, according to conventional Western thinking, consists of huge manufacturing corporations, tightly interwoven corporate families, and hordes of lifetime employees working as devoted company salarymen. Today there is another world emerging—one of high-tech startups begun by young entrepreneurs who contribute their fresh global outlook and new generational attitudes to the traditional world of Japanese business. Masayoshi Son, 34, founder, president, and CEO of Softbank Corporation of Tokyo exemplifies this new Japanese-style entrepreneurship.

🤖 Personal productivity stack for being an idea and execution Machine

The very first experience of working with a group of people to achieve a goal started when I was 16 years old (2006) and we launched our School’s Platform where Students would interact and share their experiences etc.

Since then I have had the privilege to be a part of many extra curricular teams in School and College and then later on much bigger teams in Flat.to, Flatchat and Unacademy. And then I have had some privilege to see other Founders in action.
