With the rise of accelerated-commerce platforms, many of us have been used to facilitate immediate delivery at any time of day (or night). In most areas of metropolitan cities, all types of items from snacks and grocery items to school supply and electronics can now be transported home. Recently, an Instagram post about the same by an American woman in Bengaluru went viral. Dana Mary shared a small clip of herself by enjoying a dessert and captioned it, “something about India is that you can reach your door in 20 minutes in 20 minutes in 20 minutes.” In the caption, he said, “Not only cakes … ice cream, coffee, a single can, cucumber, a pair of scissors, etc.. If you live in a major metro, you can get a lot!” He had many reactions on Instagram.
In the comments, some people shared their experiences with late dinner delivery. Many users reported that anyone can order several different types of non-food items and can distribute them almost immediately. Some said that similar services are also present in other countries, so it was not necessarily notable in India. The viral video attracted the attention of the popular Quick-commerce company Zepto. It commented, “India is a little surprised in this way.” Read some other reactions given below:
