A simple picture i took before starting my Diwali journey to my hometown and yes the journey from both the homes in NCR and Lucknow (door to door) was exactly the same as shown in the picture at the time of start (even with a 35 mins break).
What works :-
1) Start Early (see right top corner 😎)
2) 467 KM of Expressway (Yamuna+ Agra Lucknow)
3) Maintain a constant speed (with all experience I usually get 80~85 kmph avg speed)
4) Take some rest midway (usually it's good to give your car some rest too after about 3 hrs of driving)
Yes, you can travel the entire length of Uttar Pradesh in about 10-11 hrs, there's an expressway after Lucknow to take you all upto Ghazipur (17 kms before Bihar Border).
With Increasing Expressway Network in 🇮🇳 the Journeys are now :-
Accelerated
Better
&
Comfortable...ABC !!
I did drove 2500 kms In a span of 5-6 days!!

⭐️ Vision-driven decisions, not chasing numbers.
⭐️ Efficient capital and resource utilisation.
⭐️ No room for extravagance.
⭐️ People and culture are paramount.
⭐️ Trust is our brand's cornerstone.
⭐️ Adaptability is key.
With gratitude, we acknowledge - Two pillars of strength that have fuelled our journey

Decoding Consumer Behaviour in Tier 2 cities with Quick Comm! It will be interesting to see how this scales, and if Blinkit will learn from its insights of Grofers where they expanded to multiple Tier 2 cities and then had to scale back due to lack of order volumes!
What would work for Quick Comm -
>Faster delivery thanks to lesser traffic
>Cheaper rentals/cost of dark stores and fewer dark stores providing wider catchment due to lesser traffic
Potential Challenges
> Lesser use cases, fewer order volumes - Fewer people live in big community housing where there's much lesser friction to stepping out of the house to grab something urgently
> Lower propensity to pay - We dont want to pay for peeled garlic or peeled pomegranate, most folks stay with their parents, who are far away from this kind of a lifestyle! Quick comm has been scaling in cities like Mumbai as consumers value convenience and speed over money! (Case in point Pluckk)
> Low trust for Food/groceries online - Burnt their fingers with Bigbasket/Grofers sending raw/stale vegetables
> Lesser traffic (hi again!) - It takes us under 10 minutes to pick up a 2-wheeler/car and buy whatever we need from the store nearby, why would we pay delivery fee (or Zepto Pass membership when it comes to Nagpur)
Is Quick commerce going the same way where marketplaces burnt their hands?Happy to hear more thoughts ! 😃
The cost of acquisition for the "Late majority" is profit depleting, and hence instead of trying to acquire new users, they are now focusing on getting more value from existing users! There is a clear marginal utility in consumer acquisition, and brands on ecommerce need to realise when is the point to focus more on value creation over consumer acquisition?

Blinkit is now live in Nagpur 🍊
We opened our first store yesterday which delivers in Dharampeth, Gokulpeth and Ram Nagar and we plan to expand Blinkit across Nagpur in the coming weeks.
🌟 Celebrating 10 Years of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan 🌟
As we mark a decade of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, it’s time to reflect on how far we have come and the journey ahead towards a cleaner and healthier India. Launched with the vision of a Swachh Bharat, this initiative has transformed not just our surroundings, but also the mindset of millions of Indians, instilling a deep sense of responsibility for maintaining cleanliness.
At Reliance Jio, we are proud to contribute to this mission through our unique initiative of Swabhaav Swachata and Sanskaar Swachata. While cleanliness of our environment is essential, we believe that inner cleanliness of thought, character, and values is just as important. These two pillars—behavioral cleanliness and value-based cleanliness—are at the heart of our celebrations this year.
Swabhaav Swachata: Encouraging positive behaviors and personal responsibility towards cleanliness.
Sanskaar Swachata: Promoting ethical values and social responsibility, ensuring that cleanliness becomes a way of life, not just an action.
Together, let’s continue to uphold the spirit of Swachh Bharat by not only keeping our surroundings clean but also embracing cleanliness in our thoughts, actions, and values.
Let’s build a Swachh future for the generations to come! 💪🌍

The world today flooded with intelligence (abundance of information) needs such places to develop intellect(reasoning power to handle intelligence correctly)
So far I feel reading books and emerging into its content creates a personal world to question our existing mindset, knowledge, and perspectives.
As this self created world is free from the judgment of others, we feel free to do a lot of self questions and answer along with the content of the book we read.
Once we finish a book our existing knowledge becomes redefined and so improves our reasoning skill.
Great initiative by Shantanu Naidu. This initiative restored my faith in the Next generation for creating a better place to live.

The last month of the year has begun and for the residents of Delhi , todays newspapers gave the 'good' news - apparently for the first time in 23 days the air quality of Delhi 'improved' to 'poor' category.
What was frightening was not that the AQI has improved to poor , but our acceptance of the fact that air quality has deteriorated over the last half a decade.
Not questioning the status quo is one of the biggest barriers to innovation and transformation.
Be it business plans , brand plans , therapy plans - all are based on a set of assumptions - many of the assumptions are not challenged and as a result the brands gasp for air for while consuming disproportionate resources in order to grow.
And just like quick solutions cannot fix air pollution, similarly 'jugaad' solutions can not help a brand grow sustainably.
So as the business plans for the coming year are prepared , do ask questions that challenge the status quo, address the root cause and eschew quick fix solutions.
And thus infuse a fresh breath of innovation in the plans.
