Fees, Fees and more Fees: Marketing vs. Reality: • Promise: 2 rupee delivery fee • Actual: Up to 25 rupees (5% of order value) • Multiple fees: Platform, delivery, handling, etc. Financial Snapshot: • Daily orders: 300-400k • Est. annual revenue: <$35M USD Key Questions: 1. Is there a $3.6B valuation justification? 2. Core strengths: Tech? Profit model? Economic impact? 3. Innovation or imitation of Western ideas? My Concerns: • Quick unicorn status (<3 years) • Potential short lifespan (3-5 years) • Financial instability: Employee pay issues vs. founder/investor gains Is this model uniquely suited for the Indian market? What are the long-term implications?
