It’s a warm, sunny and pleasant late-September afternoon as I walk to the “3M” office of on-demand delivery service Dunzo, arguably one of Bengaluru’s most loved startups. In the last two years, it spread like wildfire through the city’s close-knit and well-connected community. Literally, every user older than 60 days came to know of it from a friend, family member or colleague, incredulously asking them why they didn’t “just Dunzo” something.
“Something” could be sending visa documents across the city; ordering food from restaurants not served by the likes of Swiggy or Zomato; finding a Halloween costume for your kids at the last hour; picking up a few bottles of your favourite craft beer; buying medicines; getting posters framed; sending a broken iPhone to the nearest Apple store for repair; getting coffee; buying tickets to the latest movie directly from the theatre once online bookings are full…
If there’s something in your head right now that you think is too ridiculous to add to the above list, chances are someone’s already tried it on Dunzo.
