Networking is overrated.‼️ When I entered college, everyone told me to network: network with seniors, network on LinkedIn, etc etc. This advice made me feel insecure, ( bechara introvert kya karega) as I thought I was bad at networking and wouldn't be able to compete. However, when I focused on doing my work instead of networking, people started coming to me. As a result, my network became more filtered and included good people.

If you look at almost all the biggest startups (mostly from 2010 onwards), they are basically habit-changing platforms. Take these examples: Zomato: Who needs an online food ordering platform when we can just call and order food? Zepto: Who needs 10-minute delivery when we can just buy groceries from a nearby store? Ola: Who needs a cab booking platform when we can just find a taxi outside our house? Airbnb: Why would anyone live in someone else's house? UrbanClap: Why do we need an app to hire a plumber, carpenter, etc when we can just call them directly? Dunzo: Why would we need someone to pick up and deliver goods within the same city? At the time of start, probobly everyone would have asked the founders these questions. But as you can see now, each of these companies has completely changed our habits, and all have become unicorns! What do you think?

Ola really changed the game with standard pricing. Apart from a few in Mumbai, no where else was a taxi going by meter and also seldom available at your door step. Same for urban clap, lack of standard pricing but also a steady stream of jobs for plumbers etc. With Airbnb generated revenue for home owners and provided cheaper options for Travellers for long and short term stay which hotels and motels did not. Zepto and Dunzo. I agree, local market has far less priced goods.

What if we make an app which can serve food delivery. It's just like instead of calling we will provide an app. This will make delivery free till a particular radius and minimum order. (which is already being done on call)
