I've sat in hundreds of kickoff calls where a founder pitches a feature with total confidence. Most of those features should never get built. Here's the one-sitting method I use to tell the real ones apart.

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.
@zeal1992 exactly, but people outside gujarat won’t be able to understand nor survive for long in our cities is what I feel, it’s too different for them but once they get used to the peace, it’s never going back
I am glad to share that Gujarat is set to take a historic leap in the field of Artificial Intelligence with the establishment of the Indian AI Research Organization (IAIRO) at GIFT City, to be operational from 1 January 2026.
With an estimated outlay of ₹300 crore over the first five years, IAIRO will be set up on a PPP model with equal participation of the Government of Gujarat, Government of India and industry partners. Leading pharma companies, through the Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance (IPA), have joined as anchor private partners.
IAIRO will function as a Special Purpose Vehicle and a national, non-profit, multidisciplinary AI research hub, focusing on advanced AI research and development, AI-driven products and solutions, capacity building and policy-oriented research, while fostering deep collaboration between academia, startups, industry and government.
The organization will operate on a hybrid compute model, combining on-premise GPU infrastructure with national platforms such as the IndiaAI Cloud, enabling scalable, secure and cutting-edge AI innovation.
Artificial Intelligence is one of the most transformative technologies of our times—reshaping healthcare, education, agriculture and the economy.
Under the visionary guidance of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @NarendraModi ji, Gujarat is proud to be at the forefront of India’s AI journey, becoming the first state in the country to establish such an institution on a PPP model.
This initiative will strengthen India’s AI ecosystem, prepare future-ready human capital, and further position Gujarat as a global hub for emerging technologies and innovation.
Introverts live a very private life. Away. Alone. Observing. Thinking. Learning. They’re never bored alone. But people bore them. Drain them. The small talk, the drama, the masks. It's just too much noise. Too many expectations. Too much blabber with no meaning. That’s why they step away. To breathe. To feel. To reset. To reconnect with themselves. All alone.
