Zepto views? Do you think it will last

I strongly feel they will implode. The numbers are terrible and a bunch of my ex colleagues who work there feel the same (they are hoping to cash on esop hence not switching)

Besides they don't have a consistent revenue stream which can cover their losses. Clearly QC fight will go on for a few years. VCs will have to pour atleast another 1.5B for it to survive

I think they've done exceptionally well but app has so many dark pattern that makes me wonder if they are really desperate. It could be just over enthusiatic PM trying to improve some metric but could be company wide pressure to increase revenue coz they are not doing so well.

I don't know for sure, ig we'll find out in couple years

It's not just an enthusiastic PM. These come from the top, VPs are aware and they run A/B with these and when conversions don't drop - they're like Why leave out free ka paisa. It's a cultural thing

I guess that makes sense because coz VP would have asked to roll back feature if it they weren't told about it earlier. I used to use the app more regularly earlier but on finding out that app is just trying to fool me at every step I don't feel like using it and only open it when other options are not available

I am also curious about founders age. It doesnโ€™t change in any article.

It's funny how everyone is waiting around for it to fail

If the company will not survive, what is the point of waiting on ESOPs? What kind of friends you have ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ
