Overview
Dunzo is an on-demand hyperlocal delivery platform in India that connects users with delivery partners to complete groceries, packages, food, medicines, and other errands in cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi. The service works through a mobile app where customers place orders and a network of delivery partners picks up and delivers, earning revenue from delivery fees, store commissions, and surge pricing. It expanded into quick commerce (Dunzo Daily) and piloted bike taxis, aiming to offer fast, wide-ranging last-mile services under one umbrella. Despite substantial funding, high cash burn and competition led to layoffs and, by January 2025, the platform ceased operations and investors wrote off the stake.
