Anyone tried Zepto Cafe?
Quick commerce and also food delivery, Zepto is pulling out one surprise card after another. Prices are decent Quality is good Taste is what they described Secure double packaging Tbh, these founders (who don't age) will have us surprised all through. Though this doesn't look like profit generating to me. P.S. I will now have these purple capped bottles stacked up 🙈
I have tasted employment, I have tasted joblessness. I recommend nepotism.
