@harpreetsubhi @AmexIndia Very true, experiencing the most degraded experience with @AmexIndia

[Saquib @snsaquib]

@gurumilespoints Very true, nowadays all credit card providers have become so shameless until you raise it with RBI ombudsman they don’t respond, recently had such an experience with so called king of customer experience @AmexIndia

@imYadav31 I am using a @AmexIndia Plat reserve for 3-4 years. No retention offers this year. Requested for a downgrade, Amex said as they are not issuing any other card, downgrade not possible. In short, forcing to continue with the same card or close the account.

@jassneetsingha @AmexIndia I am holding this card for almost 3-4 years , this is the first time there is no retention offers.

[Saquib @snsaquib]

@AmexIndia You have a pathetic customer service. Spent 10 minutes waiting on your IVR and when it reached your customer care representative, she said she cant hear me and inspite of me clearly responding. Deliberately wasting my time.

Worst customer call service goes to @ICICIBank . When you call them, a stupid AI voice assistant will haggle in an infinite loop of chicken and egg and utlitmately take you to the IVR menu in which u will again waste time. So much maintaining a min. Balance and zero service

It is easy to criticise consumer internet startups in India, especially when you compare them to the deep technical excellence being built in US/China. Using our example, the reality is this: there are almost 1.5 Lakh real people who are earning livelihoods on Zepto today - a company that did not exist 3.5 years ago. ₹1,000+ Crores of tax contribution to the government per year, over a billion dollars of FDI brought into the country and hundreds of crores invested in organizing India's backend supply chains (especially for fresh fruits and vegetables). If that isn't a miracle in Indian innovation, I honestly don't know what is.

Why doesn't India have its own large-scale foundational AI model? It's because we still haven't built great internet companies. Most technology-led innovation over the past 2 decades has originated from consumer internet companies. Who scaled cloud computing? Amazon (originally a consumer internet company). Who are the big players in AI today? Facebook, Google, Alibaba, Tencent etc. (all started as consumer internet companies). Consumer internet companies drive this innovation because they have the best data, talent, and capital to put behind it. We need to build great local champions in internet that are generating hundreds of millions of dollars in FCF first if we ever want to get a piece of great technology revolutions. The startup ecosystem, the government, and the owners of large pools of Indian capital need to actively support the creation of these local champions, not pull down the teams that are trying hard to get there.

Zepto is still far away from being a great Internet company that can hold a candle to the global best. But we are executing day in and day out to get there. I can promise that any capital we generate from this business (and it honestly looks like we will) will be invested towards long-term innovation and value creation in India. That is essentially what I am dedicating the next few decades of my life to try to do: create dynamism in the Indian economy and our capital markets, in the same way the Americans have for decades. We have the talent and capital; we just need the execution.
