Dear MEL Topic Readers,
'Just Dunzo it.' How Google's favorite Indian
startup is making city life easier
When you need a ride, you may activate an app
like Uber to get a ride without calling or paying to the driver. The company’s
biggest shareholder is SoftBank. When you want a particular food delivered in
China, you may use an online-to-offline food delivery service like Meituan,
which is owned by Alibaba. Now, if you want to get certain transportation or a delivery task done, such as picking up something like laundry, deliver a
forgotten textbook to your kid, bike taxi to somewhere like Uber or get a food
delivery like Meituan, there is a one-click service for you in India.
Founded in 2014 in Bangalore, India’s tech
capital, Dunzo Digital Private Limited is a delivery and transportation service
company. It became spotlighted when it obtained funding from Google in 2017.
Their delivery men wearing a bright green helmet with a lightning bolt logo are
seen in major cities such as Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Pune, Chennai,
Mumbai and Hyderabad. If you think about the traffic congestion and air pollution
in these major cities in India, such service saves not only your time and but
also your health. Since their services aren’t limited to what other delivery
servicers offer, "Just Dunzo it" is becoming an increasingly common
phrase as the app expands its service range and coverage.
Sounds like a handyman on a bike, doesn’t it?

online-to-offline, or O2O, service in India.
