Everything you need to know about #TheStoryGetsBetter -Dunzo’s 3D Animation Short Film —

As Teddy Roosevelt rightly claimed, “The best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing”. #TheStoryGetsBetter — the 3D animation film that we’ve produced in-house, has been exactly that. It’s a labour of love that combines in equal parts — art and heart, skill and soul, hard work and hope. And so, we set out building a story about Auro — a young writer, and his furry little friend — George. For those of you who haven’t yet, do pause here and take a few minutes to watch the film, for the discussions that follow are rife with spoilers. Paying attention to intention Our goal while embarking on the journey of this film was to leave our viewers with an…

Humans of Dunzo

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”. Having studied engineering, I worked as a Software engineer for 5 years at the start of my career. I did the…

Humans of Dunzo

“I feel that the last 4 years at Dunzo have really nurtured a sense of growth and maturity in me. The folks at Dunzo who initially joined the team (including me) were kids right out of college and so you can imagine the early days had that “college vibe”, where work was super hectic but it was accompanied by cricket in the lawn and hallways, music sessions, table tennis and getting yelled at by neighbors for sometimes (read: always) being noisy. That pretty much summed up the first year at Dunzo. By the second year, we had grown massively and I got to work with more smart, talented people from across the industry. I learned core operations and what having a data-driven approach means in the logistics business. I still remember the night when we first hit our 500 orders milestone for night operations and the journey to reach that number was not an easy one. Staying relentless on our promise with every single order has been the cornerstone of the work I’ve done here. My current role is perhaps the most challenging of all and I love the thrill of conquering those challenges every day. I’m so proud of how far we’ve come, but I’m even more proud of the fact that who we are and what we stand for remains unchanged”.

#WellDun2020

2020 has indeed been a defining year for all delivery businesses in India. The global health crisis and the ensuing lockdowns have led home deliveries to make the transition from being a lifestyle choice to a lifeline. Dunzo has seen an increasing number of customers embrace its safety and convenience during this challenging period. With the majority of the population being shut indoors for a larger part of the year, we’ve observed that the ordering habits of Indians have seen a distinct shift as compared to the preceding years. Altered routines and a change in priorities have caused a perceptible distinction in consumer behavior. From Condoms, IPills, and Pregnancy tests being the highest orders in the Medicine category, to most cities ordering cat food over dog food, to the recent surge in demand for healthy alternatives, some of these data points certainly stood out from the usual. We decided to compile a few intriguing insights from the year gone by, to throw light on how India got it, Dun, in 2020. Enumerated below, is the list of interesting patterns in user orders that we observed last year. It has most certainly been a year of surprises, and Dunzo users certainly did not disappoint with their buying habits. Irrespective of what the next year holds, Dunzo shall continue to serve in all its geographies with the single goal of bringing the magic of convenience to every home, and hopefully workplaces too, very soon.
