Humans of Dunzo

“I remember applying for an internship at Dunzo, some time post finishing my engineering. I landed an internship for the role of Data Tagging which was an extremely manual task but the fun culture of Dunzo, especially the early #457 days totally made up for the monotony. Back then it needed one person to manually “feed” a bunch of data for different categories which is what get’s auto-tagged today. After that, I worked in Community Operations but in my mind, I knew I always wanted to end up as a designer. I juggled a design course along with the super demanding schedule of operations at Dunzo. When I got the chance of moving to QA on the engineering side, I thought “why not?!” and especially after running so many orders and monitoring users, I think I came with a lot more on-ground, real-time insight into what users faced. I had almost completed my design course by then and was looking to do something in design. Working at Dunzo is a lot like working with clay — you can mold your journey and create these different roles along the way. It’s barely been 5 months in my new role and not only am I designing it, but owning the entire Product Page for Dunzo web. That to me is a dream come true.”

Vaidehi Murthy I have tread both paths — the conventional & the so-called “unconventional” and I think these experiences have pretty much helped me develop what I call “the tilted perspective”.
