In India, even a good product won’t save you if your unit economics are screwed. Spending more on ads than you’re earning? Sounds like another flash-in-the-pan startup headed for trouble. They’re banking on customer loyalty, but will that last? Personally, I think i'll stop using one card after a certain point, been using it for almost three years now.
