@AK_Aspire @grok can you explain what this means

A 20-year-old Delhi techie, Aryan Nishad, has launched https://t.co/rlW7xL7nnF, a platform where citizens can anonymously report bribe demands.

Users can log the amount, location, department and the service involved. These reports build a public database that exposes bribery patterns across government offices in India.

The site even helps people turn their reports into formal complaints for anti-corruption authorities.

The response has been huge, 25 lakh requests in just 10 hours.

Anupam Mittal called it a potential game-changer for governance and accountability.

One simple website is giving common citizens the power to document corruption and make it visible.

Note: These are crowdsourced allegations, not confirmed proof against any official.

Swiggy owned 12% of Rapido. Within weeks of Ownly launching, Swiggy sold the entire stake for ₹2,400 crore to Prosus and WestBridge. That tells you everything about how seriously the incumbents are taking this.

“Zero commission” here actually means zero. As of the full Bengaluru launch, Ownly charges restaurants nothing. No commissions, no platform fees, no marketing fees, no subscription fees. Customers pay a flat ₹30 delivery fee. That’s the entire revenue model right now. Compare that to Zomato and Swiggy, where restaurants lose 25-35% of every order to commissions, plus advertising charges, plus packaging fees. On a ₹300 order, a restaurant on Zomato takes home roughly ₹195 after all deductions. On Ownly, they keep the full ₹300.

And even at those 25-35% take rates, the incumbents can barely make money. Zomato posted ₹102 crore net profit in Q3 FY26, but strip out the interest income from ₹17,820 crore sitting in FDs and bonds (roughly $2 billion in cash from years of fundraising), and operations are still in the red. In Q2, excluding treasury income, Zomato’s EBIT was actually negative ₹137 crore. The “profit” is their savings account, not their food delivery business. Swiggy lost ₹1,065 crore the same quarter, even after raising ₹10,000 crore through a QIP and pocketing ₹2,400 crore from selling its Rapido stake. Food delivery margins are real for Zomato, around 5.4% EBITDA, but both companies have been pouring those thin profits into quick commerce, which has been a massive cash furnace. Blinkit just hit EBITDA breakeven for the first time in Q3. Swiggy’s Instamart is still losing ₹908 crore a quarter.

Rapido’s bet is that this is a volume game. They pulled the exact same move in ride-hailing: replaced Ola and Uber’s 15-20% commission with a flat subscription for drivers. Drivers kept 100% of fares. Rapido now does 6 million rides daily across 500+ cities, valued at $2.3 billion. The playbook worked.

Food delivery is harder, though. A ride needs one driver. A food order needs a rider, a restaurant that packed correctly, and a delivery window measured in minutes. The graveyard is long: Ola Cafe (2015, dead in a year), Foodpanda ($50M acquisition, shut down), Uber Eats India (exited 2020, sold to Zomato), Thrive (80 cities, shut December 2024). Even government-backed ONDC saw food orders drop from 65 lakh to 46 lakh per month between October 2024 and February 2025.

What Rapido has that none of them did: 2 million two-wheeler riders already delivering packages and 30 million monthly users already opening the app. That’s logistics and demand that cost nothing extra to activate. NRAI’s 50,000 restaurants are signing up because keeping ₹100 more per order is the difference between surviving and shutting down.

The ₹30 delivery fee is the foot in the door. Subscriptions, restaurant ads, and data monetization are the actual business model. Whether Rapido can survive the burn long enough to get there, at $4-5 million a month before Ownly even launched, is the billion-dollar question.
