Introducing Bounce Daily App 2.0 — the mission control centre for Bounce Daily. Every extra minute matters when you’re out on the road delivering. That’s why we’ve reimagined the Bounce Daily App to make sure gig workers never lose time. We are enabling gig workers to deliver

Last week, I took on a new project at hand - Understanding the rider's journey in the Q-comm. industry. I spent a week delivering orders for @ZeptoNow and @letsblinkit , and here are some insights and potential improvements both of them could make.

I was fired from @Cloudflare Last 3 months were amazing working with the most awesome team, but it turns out my @DevinAI code caused this outage -- and 30 mins later my email acess has been revoked. If you happen to have open roles, hit me up

Late-night deliveries proved enjoyable - calmer roads, pleasant weather, and less stress. However, an urgent safety concern is protection from stray dogs, particularly after 10-11 PM. On three occasions, I narrowly escaped dog bites - a common issue echoed by other riders. Had I

Before diving deep, a brief note: While Zepto scores higher for its store conditions (based on my observations at the dark store visited), the overall rider experience at Blinkit seems more mature. This maturity likely stems from Blinkit’s integration within the larger @zomato

Apple is so doomed. Launched an iPad Air (M3) today, but no one's talking. There used to be a time of glorious Apple events, we used to be excited about. What went wrong?

One issue that I did come across while delivering with @ZeptoNow was erroneous distance calculations. The attached order details below show I've been compensated for 1.4km while the actual distance was 3.5km, I tried asking the store in charge but received no response.

This concludes my observations from actively experiencing rider operations. Overall, the experience is good; there may be small caveats for improvements, but one has to appreciate the amount of work these companies have put in to make everything possible. Incase you liked this,

Blinkit store staff did ask me to follow a dress code: Blinkit t-shirts, full-length pants, and shoes. Zepto’s, however, did not emphasize dress code. Blinkit provided a t-shirt immediately after my first delivery, whereas the Zepto store manager informed me of a two-week wait.

Blinkit has reporting features for poor roads and unsafe areas, which Zepto lacks entirely. Suggestion: Blinkit could make this feature more prominent. Given customer order frequency (5-10), Blinkit could soon accumulate valuable data on road conditions. Post its rebranding to
