A victim of @MahindraXUV700. Never thought I’d see the day when I’d feel an Indian car company was taking its own customers for a ride. This kind of experience is deeply disappointing and honestly, unacceptable
@anandmahindra
Facts below (1/5):
In 2025, average earnings per hour (EPH), excluding tips, for a delivery partner on Zomato were ₹102.
In 2024, this number was ₹92. That’s a ~10.9% year-on-year increase. Over a longer horizon also, EPH has shown steady growth.
Most delivery partners work for a few hours and only a few days in a month. But if someone were to work for 10 hours/day, 26 days/month, this translates to ~₹26,500/month in gross earnings. After accounting for fuel and maintenance (~20%), the net earnings for the partner are ~₹21,000/month.
Note: Earnings per hour are calculated on total hours logged in, including the time when the partner might be waiting to receive an order. Earnings per “busy hour” will be higher but that’s not the right metric to look at.
On top of this - delivery partners earn 100% of tips given by customers. The average tip per hour in 2025 on Zomato was INR 2.6 and in 2024 was INR 2.4 per hour. Tips are transferred instantly, with zero deductions. We absorb the payment gateway processing cost ourselves. About 5% of the orders get tipped on Zomato; 2.5% on Blinkit.
Gen Z, believe me, these things will not change. Accept them now else be forced to later:
Money is very important
Being rich beats being poor
Being very rich usually feels good
Your own house is your own house
A car is better than a bike
Family always comes first
Families fight but families come first
Love always matters
Negativity sucks
Friends are important
Reputation matters
Trust is really important
Friends are very important
Going the extra mile usually pays off
Ghar ka khana is ghar ka khana
Raees baap is a super power
Don't piss off your parents
Ma ka thappad dua samajho
Baap ka thappad warning samajho
Biwi ka thappad kabhi nahi
Food with family at home is holy
Food with friends is happiness
Relationships matter
Big happy families are rare
Learn how to cook food
Cleanliness matters
Discipline elevates mediocrity
How you look doesn't matter
How you feel always matters
Very disappointed with this.
I don't understand why people in power and position need to misinform.
Why can't we simply follow science and evidence, progress through rationalism and logic, and stop embracing primitive beliefs and practices? Is it too much to ask?
Panchakarma is an ancient practice originating in Ayurveda where a person is made to vomit, given enema that induces diarrhea, exposed to leeches that suck our blood or veins cut for blood letting. This does not in any way increase longevity, or prevent diseases. Naresh Trehan, who mentions this, shamelessly and wrongfully, has an Ayurveda Wellness Center at his hospital, Medanta Medicity where they charge INR 6000 per day for undergoing this nonsensical procedure. He's a businessman here, and not doing this in good faith.
And as for Ayurveda being known as the "Science of Life," it is not. This is the biggest myth. Ayurveda means Knowledge of Life (Ayu means 'lifespan', Veda means knowledge, not science). There is no science in Ayurveda. It is a stupid pseudoscience. Don't fall for this BS.
Like I said, I'm very disappointed with this.
