A silly morning banter with my mom which made me understand how Indian consumer expectation changes according to geographical location Morning call with mom Hey maa!! I bought a sofa Sofa why do you need sofa Bangalore mein ghar basana h kya (you want to live in bangalore permanently or what ) Nah maa i just wanted to have one I have rented it Rent ? Who takes sofa on rent ! People who move a lot they do ! God knows what's wrong with people it's always better to buy isn't it ! P.S I am from bhopal and my mum and dad still stay in bhopal and the concept of renting a furniture for them is unknown although irony is companies like rentmojo and furlenco are making some real good noise in this segment !! Although she is a crazy Meesho fan and loves shopping on it and boasting about the product she bought for say 299 !! hahaha

This is so relatable, my mom said the same thing, renting furniture and buying stuff like a whole set of cutlery is an alien concept. Is there any chance, our moms are the same person? 😂

Stop waiting for investors to believe in your idea. Your mom didn’t even believe in it, and she loves you.

One day, I visited my friend’s house. As I called her name, her mom, holding a laptop, said, "She’s showering, sit and wait." She sat on the sofa, occasionally asking, "How’s study?" but without eye contact. Her dad, beside her, was in a meeting. Th
