Instacart Business Model allows easy access to the grocery stores and facilitates the customers by delivering their groceries at their doorstep in a limited time. The services charges and advertisements help instacart to earn and grow their business.

Instacart is an old concept which lost almost 1 billion at the rise of the dot-com bubble and yet became commercially feasible and operational.

Journey to success

In June 2001, after the three years of operations, Dot Com Company was filed for bankruptcy. At that time, over 3500 employees were working at the Webvan.

To launch various operations, the Webvan funded about eight hundred million dollars, which was really big. The Webvan aimed to become the best online grocery store and deliver the products to their customers in a minimum period; that is how it got promoted and gained market value.

In 1999 Webvan quickly become public, but in 2001 it busted.

So the company became helpless and didn’t make a profit, however, earned a loss of about $617 million. The business idea of Webvan was best? But how?

In 2007, Amazon started amazon fresh to deliver grocery to amazon prime members, and then in 2017, they did investments with Whole Foods. The incorporation between whole foods and amazon fresh is operational to date.

It is all because of time that although Webvan had buyers and customers, yet it was bankrupted in no time.

During The dot com bubble, excessive internet-related companies had bet the massive growth of the use of the internet. But they still use business playbooks for sketching the business plans and expanding their business.

Though Webvan had an outclass business plan and had high venture funds of over eight hundred million dollars, it still busted and failed.

It is all the timing; doing things at the wrong times brings bad luck. In the case of Webvan, an inadequate execution framework resulted in failure and indebtedness.

If a company needs to be present before the market, then it requires gradual market validation. Many companies started at bad times but flourished due to their perfect market-entry and market strategies, which helped them expand their business and grow.

It takes many years to build up a business platform, and the platform that helped Webvan to reach the heights would come in 2007 when Steve jobs at the Cupertino stage declared that “all we want to make a leapfrog product that is smarter than mobile, and it is easy to use, this is the iPhone.”

The Back story of Instacart

In the future, the web era will help the business playbook to become the originator and initiator. The implementation of this playbook resulted in the growth of platform business models. Initially, platforms have fewer capital assets than their operations, as they all want the core interaction to gain the value of their platform and achieve favorable results.

Through this lean product playbook, in 2012, instacart penetrated the market as an online grocery store. Instead of spending a lot of money on building massive warehouses, instacart built an app to access their customers and retailers easily.

The instacart earned money and increased their markup through the delivery charges. The concept of instacart was of Mehta, the founder of instacart. He got inspiration from his childhood when he had to stand in the ques to take the groceries in winter.

Later he moved to Seattle, where he worked for companies, and in 2008-2010 he worked for amazon as fulfillment optimizations. Mehta receives the order and afterward delivers the order at the customer’s hand.

After earning the experience of two years, he left the job and started his own company. Meanwhile, he had to move to San Francisco. Mehta initiated 20 companies, but none worked, all failed.

After some time, Mehta did other works such as started an ad network for social gaming companies and initiated a social network for lawyers from one about one year. But nothing worked; everything busted.

When in 2012, the web became famous worldwide, Mehta decided to expand his business, so for this, he developed an app to connect the customers to their retailers.

But unluckily, Mehta failed to apply for the Y-Combinator acceleration program on deadline. But he didn’t lose his hope. No matter the time was gone, He kept planning to enter the program.

To pave his path and enter the program, Mehta often contacted y-combinator partners, but no one considered him and his idea.

Then a YC partner, Garry Tan, asked him that he will never be able to enter the company.

Yet Mehta didn’t stop; he continued his efforts, so instead of presenting his idea, Mehta bribed Garry tan with six-packs of beers to convince him to build the app with Mehta. The strategy of Mehta worked, and Garry Tan set up a meeting with him to know his program and work altogether.

Gary Tan liked his work and accepted his application, and so Mehta became the first person ever whose application was accepted even after the target date. That’s how Mehta began his journey of development.

Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods

The future took an exciting twist when Mehta instacart became most popular and gave competition to a company in which he was once employed, that is Amazon

As a background, whole foods became the most perishable partner of Mehta’s instacart. The whole foods and Mehta’s instacart remain partners for a long time, and in 2016 whole foods announced a multiyear delivery plan with instacart, which gave another height to Mehta’s instacart.

But in 2017, amazon played a trick. They snatched whole foods from instacart for almost $14 million, so instacart and whole foods no more remained partners.

The conflict is that amazon became the king of the online grocery market, and other companies in this industry like Costco and Walmart combined with instacart.

Customers

Customers of instacart place orders to deliver groceries at their doorstep and enjoy their comfort zone. Most of the happy users reviewed that they are satisfied by the services, and it is terrific that they receive the grocery by sitting at home without paying for the fuels in vehicles or dealing with the crowded areas.

You might find instacart expensive because they add service charges, which increase the prices of grocery as compare to retail prices.

The grocery retailers

For retailers, Instacart has become a way to earn extra money within feasible working hours. Mehta’s instacart promotes their products and increase their exposure. Because the retailers typically do not provide delivery services to their customers, which instacart has provided them at cheap rates.

What is the role of shoppers?

Shoppers are the individuals who are involved in the shopping of delivery of products. Instacart introduces two types of shoppers that can earn extra money by working smoothly. Instacart encourages and motivates people to become their shoppers and provide them an excellent chance to earn extra bucks.

In-store shoppers

They are the part-time workers of instacart, and they have the responsibility of packing the products for delivery. They have access to the app through their smartphone, but they do not deliver the stuff.

Full-service shoppers

These are the shoppers who are responsible for shopping and delivering the order. They have access to both smartphones and vehicles.

How does Mehta’s instacart make money?

The customer’s workflow is simple.

  • They just have to select a store and place an order through instacart.
  • The customer pays online and places an order
  • Through the app, the shoppers in the vicinity will receive the notification of order.
  • They will then collect the grocery from the selected store. And then, they will pay to the store through the prepaid debit card.
  • Then the grocery will be delivered to the customers at home.

Shoppers are paid hourly for their services, And sometimes companies tip them.

Instacart does not charge any of the stores affiliated with them. But instacart has other means of making their revenue.

Fees

Instacart has the following types of fees

  1. Delivery fee

Orders which are below $35 may have delivery fee ranging from $3.99 to $9.99. The delivery fee depends upon how soon the customers want to receive their order and how big the order is.

  1. Heavy fee

The heavy fee applies when you buy a big and overweight product like pet food and beverages. If the weight of items is greater than 50lbs, then you have to bear the heavy fee.

  1. Service fee

A service fee is a 2% to 5% endowment or donation provided by the non-express customers.

Alcohol service fee

This is an additional cost offered to the customers who buy alcohol-related products.

Instacart Express membership

The instacart membership is for those who want to become their regular customers. It offers low annual and monthly costs and free deliveries even at the order above $35.

The benefits provided by instacart express are

  • No, deliver charges at the order of more than $35.
  • Lower service charges
  • charge no extra money at the peak delivery hours.
  • No charges for any kind of order.

Instacart offers the annual membership at $99 for the one year, with many delivery benefits.

Promotion and marketing

When one of the partners of Mehta’s instacart asked Mehta that how much they have to pay for getting into this platform, at that time, Mehta decided to make extra money through marketing and advertisement.

Through advertisement, instacart earned a revenue of $14 billion in June 2020, which made it a decacorn.

Markup cost

Instacart earns through markup because they get the product cheaper than the market rates. Instacart uses this money to pay shoppers.

Key takeaways of instacart business model

Instacart was made with the purpose of online grocery shopping. It was founded by Mehta, a former employee of Amazon, and in 2010 became popular.

Over time, instacart flourished and proved that practicable and useful their idea was. Whole foods were are important clients of instacart later, which was purchased by the amazon, which pressed instacart.

Instacart is viable and provides an ease to its customers by delivering the grocery at their doorstep and also served as an income source for the shoppers. Instacart itself earns through service fees, membership, advertising, and marketing, etc.

Challenges and their solutions

Along with the tremendous success instacart has to face some problems:

  1. As instacart was the part-time job for the shoppers, so it became complicated for them to retain the shoppers. Instacart found a solution to it that it allowed users to tip the shoppers during their checkout.
  2. Another challenge faced by instacart was the delivery time. To make the customers, it was essential to deliver the products on time, so the company placed the shoppers outside the stores, which improved the delivery time and saved the time of shoppers.
  3. When the product is out of stock from any store, it creates a problem for the company to deal with the customer’s needs. But instacart found a smart solution to this too. They added the option of often out of stock in their app and made their purchasing process more efficient and systematic.

Final verdict

The business of online shopping has a bright future because, according to the eCommerce trends in 2020, the expected increase of online grocery shopping is from 15% to 25%, and in 2021 it will increase to 73%.

Over time Mehta instacart has earned great market value and success. According to Forbes, instacart had revenue of $1.9 billion along with 500,000+ satisfied customers. Usually, a customer pays $95 per order and uses the service twice a month. However, instacart express customers place the order more than four times per month.

Instacart is planning to expand its business to other cities in the US. This company has become the most dominant market in the US and Canada.

However, the financial details of this procurement were not publicized. Also, in August 2019, they announced a partnership with Mercato, an e-commerce platform, to further expand their growth and reach to specialty stores and independent grocers.

This partnership allowed for same-day deliveries to over 750 independent grocers across twenty-two (22) states. On February 27, 2020, the company publicized that it filed papers privately to go public.

Criticisms and Lawsuits

  1. In-N-Out Burger filed a lawsuit against DoorDash demanding trademark infringement and biased competition. The lawsuit was dismissed after two months and DoorDash no longer offers food delivery from In-N-Out Burger.
  2. Burger Antics filed a lawsuit to stop delivery of their food by DoorDash after numerous complaints were reported by their customers.
  3. The delivery workers of the company filed a class action lawsuit after being labelled “independent contractors”. The company accepted to pay $5 million.
  4. CBC, on July 7, 2018, reported that DoorDash included a new restaurant to its list without the consent or knowledge of the restaurant’s owner. The restaurant consultant named Sharif Virani told CBC that several clients complained of the same issue and were not able to get in touch with DoorDash to remove their establishments from the list.
  5. On May 4, 2019, DoorDash reported that sensitive information about over 4.9 million customers, merchants, and delivery workers were stolen using a data breach. However, those who joined after April 5, 2018 were not affected.

Tipped Wage Controversy

In July 2019, there were several criticisms against the tipping policy of DoorDash by publications such as Vox, The New York Times, and The Verge. This policy was described by the Gothamist as “really looks, feels, and smells like a swindle.” By default, DoorDash pays drivers a guaranteed minimum fee per order. If a customer adds a tips, it goes directly to the company instead of the driver.

This led to the company ceasing to pay the guaranteed minimum to drivers, and instead paying whatever was left of the tip after the minimum was subtracted. DoorDash announced its plans to alter its pay model after the story was published in the New York Times. A week after the article was published, a DoorDash customer filed a class action lawsuit against the company for its “materially false and misleading” tipping policy.

On August 20, 2019, an article was published by Vox with the title “DoorDash is still pocketing workers’ tips, almost a month after it promised to stop”. DoorDash publicized an alteration to its tipping policy on August 22, 2019, promising that it will “roll it out to all Dashers next month” (that is September 2019).

How does DoorDash make money?

DoorDash has raised over $700 million from different investors over several rounds of funding. According to The Wall Street Journal, DoorDash is in the process of raising approximately $500 million in funding. This gives it a valuation hike of over $6 billion. Not to mention, it is already a successful company. But, do you know how this company makes money? In this article, we are going to discuss about it. Before, starting on that topic, let us know something about the company’s background in brief.

A brief history

In the fall of 2012, DoorDash’s founders were working on building technology for small businesses. So, they were collecting reviews for an app they built. During that time, a store manager seemed not so impressed by their app. They came to know that the biggest challenge for store managers was to find customers for food delivery. This cracked the idea on their mind. After several months, in January of 2013 Palo Alto Delivery was live. The founders claimed that they received their first order within half an hour of their app release.

How were they different from their competitors?

DoorDash followed a slightly different approach to be different than their competitors. While a majority of their competitors were focussing on impressing the users, they focussed on keeping the restaurants impressed. CEO Tony Xu and COO Christopher Payne developed a software for restaurants that minimized their workload. Also, the software they made was easy to embed on their websites. Due to such extensive services, the company received outstanding reviews which helped it to gain reputation in the market.

Raising Private Capital for sustainability

As all businesses face problems, DoorDash too did. The major problem it faced during its rise was to differentiate itself from its competitors. In order to stay afloat, it turned into a venture capital funding to help find a way out. Nearly $1 billion was raised and DoorDash used it to expand its reach from 600 to more than 3300 United States cities. It was not until 2018 when the annual sales tripled.

How does DoorDash make money? The DoorDash Business Model

DoorDash has a business model that is based between two parties: the users and the restaurants. The users can find food to eat and DoorDash takes the duty to deliver it to their door. In this process there are three ways DoorDash finds to get its revenue.

Delivery fees: As simple as that. DoorDash Business Model uses this as a direct revenue stream from the users for the service it offers. Doordash charges $5 to $8 per order depending on the time of day, distance travelled and its relationship with the restaurant. The deliveries are done by its hired drivers known as Dashers.

Commission: This is yet another way of revenue for DoorDash Business Model . The start-up takes a 20% commission fee from the restaurants for every order placed. This is where DoorDash Business Model charges more than its competitors. But, this is normal. For a company who pays special attention to the restaurants, this charge seems acceptable. This is where much effort of DoorDash lies.

Advertising restaurants: If you are aware of digital marketing, you may be familiar with this method of earning. Now, let me give you an example. As there are many restaurants available on DoorDash, a new comer would definitely like to gain some user attention. So, the restaurant owners pay DoorDash to push them up to the top of the list for a temporary period of time. Now, this is a win-win situation for everyone: the users, the restaurants and DoorDash. The restaurants get noticed by users. The users can be aware of different restaurants available to them. And finally, it is a major source of revenue for DoorDash.

The pricey business model of DoorDash Business Model seems working like “so far so good”. Also, its market share is trailing its competitors like GrubHub and UberEats. In this situation, there is one more challenge for DoorDash – to raise more capital. On the other hand, its competitors’ offerings are raising pressure on DoorDash Business Model to hold its position in the market. However, the billion dollar food delivery industry has further scope of growth as the mobile users continue to grow worldwide. Thank You.

Uber Technologies

The boom in the Uber company’s growth and its ability to stay in controversial light have made it very well-known and one of the most fascinating companies that have emerged in the past decade. Uber, established in 2009 grew rapidly to become the most valued setup corporation in the whole world.

The Boom in Uber’s Growth:

With the sudden boom in the company’s growth came several controversies that ended up in reducing the firm’s valuation from a hefty $70 billion to just $48 billion, as was seen in Jan’18. However, now that the company has announced a new tender, this amount is foreseen to be increased to $62 billion.

At the beginning of 2018, the Dragoneer Investment Group and the Japanese conglomerate Softbank group made their bid for the shares of 20%, which was a 30% discount on the last valuation. This deal is reported to have given Softbank 15% shares in the company whereas Uber in return has got an ally in Asian countries. This entails that Uber is now in power to change the whole environment if any public missteps are taken. The other remaining 5% of the shares were allocated to the remaining investors in the group. This year has not proven to be a very great year for Uber, what with an Uber vehicle getting involved in a fatal car accident. Also, the New York City Council voted against Uber to pause the new licenses being issued to services such as Lyft and Uber on 8 August’18.

Despite the fall in their valuation, Uber is still valued in the market more than General Motors Company and Ford Motor Company. Now we all are very intrinsic to see how Uber’s plan of going public by 2009 is going to work out.

How Did Their Founders Meet?

This company’s story began in 2008, Paris. Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick, both very good friends, were attending the annual ‘LeWeb’ conference. This conference is described by The Economist as “where revolutionaries gather to plot the future”.

Back in 2007, both of these friends had sold their business they co-founded for a large amount. StumbleUpon was sold for $75 million to eBay by Camp and Red Swoosh was sold to Akamai Technologies for $19 million by Kalanick.

We have it in the rumor that they both decided to do something similar to this when they couldn’t get a cab one winter night after the conference. In the beginning, the concept was just to be able to order a Limo through an app. After the conference in Paris was over, both friends went their separate ways but Camp stuck to the idea even back in San Francisco and purchased the domain name UberCab.com.

Ubercab Coming into Existence

In 2009, Camp started to work on a prototype of UberCab as a part-time project while he was still the CEO of StumbleUpon. By the summer of 2009, Camp had already convinced Kalanick to play a part in this company as a ‘Chief Incubator’. In early 2010, the service of Ubercab was tested only on three cars in New York and later on in May it was launched in San Francisco.

Ryan Graves was the GM in the early life of the firm and a very important person too. Later on, in August 2010 he became the CEO of Uber. However, in December 2010, Kalanick was back as the CEO and Graves were given the role of COO and a member of the board.

What gave the sudden rise to its popularity is the ease of ordering a cab no matter wherever you are. With just a touch on the screen, a ride can be ordered. GPS systems identify the location and calculate the cost automatically on the user’s account. It was in October 2010 that the company received its major funding of 1.25 million by First Round Capital.

Order of Cease-and-Desist

San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency sent a cease-and-desist order to the company in October 2010. The main issue identified was the word “cab” in its name. The company immediately responded to it by changing the name to only Uber and buying this domain name from the Universal Music Group.

Uber Reports Losses

2011 proved to be a very critical year for the growth in Uber. Early in 2011, Uber raised funds of $11 million Series A round of funding through Benchmark capital extending to Paris, Washington DC, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, and New York. It was announced by Kalanick in the 2011 LeWeb conference that the company raised from Series B $37 million from Goldman Sachs, Jeff Bezos, Menlo Ventures. It was in 2012 that Uber announced UberX, which is a hybrid car and is comparatively less expensive and the best alternative to black car service. Uber received $3.5 billion’s funds from Saudi Arabia’s Wealth Fund.

As Uber is not a public company yet, therefore it does not have to report the earnings publicly. But on its own choice, the company opened up in April 2017 for the first time to Bloomberg where it announced a global loss of $3.8 billion in 2016. This figure includes losses from China when it sold in summer 2016—-. Not keeping this in an account, the net losses $2.8 billion. It was also discussed with Bloomberg that the more they shift to the Uberpool—-the faster their income is likely to grow. Due to this, the last quarter of 2016 was seen to be a bit brighter with an increase in revenue of 76% and losses only rose by 5%.

Uber Faces Opposition

In its journey to expand, Uber has made its way through many resistances from the government regulators and taxi industry. To come over this dilemma, the company hired David Plouffe; who is a very high profile corporate and political strategist and has also worked on Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008.

Taxi drivers in Madrid, Paris, Berlin, and London hosted a huge protest in 2014 against Uber for having such low rates as they do not follow the local laws and does not pay the license fees they are making an unfair competition in the market which the taxi drivers can’t compete with.

In December 2016, this case went to Europe’s top court and Uber’s license to operate the business in London was canceled arguing that Uber was unfit for holding the license. In 2017, at the time of the cancellation, the registered drivers with Uber in London were 40,000. Uber positively called this the way of Mayor taking the side of the minority who does not give any care to what the consumer wants. Later on, on 26 June 2018 made some changes to the ban, saying they could work in London under a license of 15 months following certain conditions.

A case appeared in New York about the drivers being charged their commissions on the earnings before the tax is paid instead of vice versa. It was said to have cost the drivers of Uber tens of millions of dollars. Although Uber promised to pay this amount back in full, the question that arises is that in the end, who pays the taxes. Drivers’ lawyer group claimed that Uber is avoiding its taxes at the expense of their drivers supporting it with proves found by The New York Times. According to this, it could have caused drivers hundreds of millions of dollars.

A New York judge on 13 June 2017 stated that the drivers of Uber should not be considered as independent contractors, and rather employees. In this way, Uber’s drivers can claim for employee benefits which would have many positive impacts on the drivers.

Bad news for Uber is that there is a restriction since August 2018 on the new licenses for the sharing of ride services for 12 months.

Retaliation for Surge-Pricing

The surge pricing is not self-calculated but it is automatically calculated through the system using the algorithm which works according to the demand and supply rule. The prices were seen to surge as much as even seven times on New Year’s Eve 2011. Once again, in a snowstorm, the prices triggered so much that it upset the customer. However, recently Uber has committed itself to cap the surging price to satisfy the customer.

Lyft as Uber’s Rivalry

The rivalry between the two has been very fierce. They both claimed that their drivers and their employees both vandalize by hailing and then canceling on the rides between the two. In a Vanity Fair article, Kalanick admitted that they plot ways against Lyft to undermine their efforts in fundraising. (For more, see: Key Differences Between Uber and Lyft)

Added Services

It has a food delivery program with the name of Uber Eats. It also offers its customers and drivers the option of Uberpool, which makes it cheap and easy for the customers and drivers to use the service respectively compare with UberBlack and UberX.

In 2017 Uber introduced a co-branded gift credit card being in partnership with Barclays. It is said that the Uber visa card would be free of charge and would have a balance of $100 as a bonus. This card would offer the cardholder cashback on several online transactions, airfares, and dining expenses.

On July 9, 2018, Uber have announced to be in collaboration with Alphabet Inc.’s Google Ventures (GOOG) for the investment in Lime, to get scooters from them on rent and make it available for public use; using it, paying their fares and finally leaving it on the sidewalk for the next rider. This would make up for a very convenient and neat clean energy-based business model. Lime was established in 2017 and succeeded to raise $467 million till now. Out of Uber’s worth of $1.1 billion, this deal is an investment round of $335 million. The company has plans on promoting this business through apps and tag the scooters with Uber’s logo. Similarly, its investment in Jump Bikes cost Uber $200 million in April’18.

Khosrowshahi Replaced Kalanick

2017 was a dry and tough year for Uber. The chaos began when a female employee of Uber reported the company to have a very adverse and bitter environment as well as a sexist culture in a blog of about 3000 words. She talked about how the working environment is quite offensive to most of the employees there. This blog became very viral in a few time and Uber lost most of its valued employees due to the allegations imposed on them. The board also decided to host an investigation called “Holder investigation” The result of this investigation was that there were 47 points to improve for Uber and 20 staff members firing necessary. This investigation was led by Attorney General Eric Holder.

This scandal haunted the CEO and the company for many months as it was said that this sexist attitude was a top-down, and Kalanick was involved in it himself. A leaked video showing him arguing with a driver to lower the shares did not help to prevent the scattering of his image in the eyes of the public.

On the other hand, the company was being sued as discussed earlier, by Alphabet’s (GOOGL), Waymo that their former employee has stolen the secrets of self-driving technology. However, this case was settled in 2018. The New York Times also claimed that Uber has used a certain feature that would allow Uber to operate in illegal areas, thus it has committed a criminal crime and it should be followed by an investigation.

On June 21, 2017, there was a shareholder revolt and Kalanick had to resign. In less than a period of two months, Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Expedia (EXPE) at that time took over. Dara Khosrowshahi is said to have escaped the Iranian revolution and migrated to New York along with his parents in 1978. He started working initially in the finance department in an investment bank and later on became CFO of IAC/InterActiveCorp (IAC). He stayed in this position for 7 years before he was appointed as the CEO of Expedia. (Editor’s note: Investopedia is an IAC owned company)

To Conclude

Just like Tesla Motors (TSLA), Apple Inc. and Google, Uber is also working to make its service driver-less cars. Currently, Uber is working to make its way to get a permit in California for self-driving cars. So far, it seems to be difficult as Uber has been sued by Alphabet Inc’s (GOOG) Waymo for stealing it’s self-driving technology and expelling its own founder and CEO. The worst-hit was in March’2018 when in an accident of a self-driving car hitting a pedestrian and is proving to be fatal. Also, it’ testing has been suspended for a short time. It was in May’18 that Uber announced it would stop the testing done in Arizona and conduct it somewhere else. Uber’s self-driving car returned to Pittsburgh in July’18. Now only time can tell if Khosrowshahi can play things differently on the cars.

Growth Strategy Of Uber Eats In Various Areas

By the end of the year seventy percent of the U.S population would be covered by Uber eats and this expansion would double in the years to come. According to Janelle Sallenave, head of Uber Eats, U.S. & Canada, much of the expansion comes in smaller cities and suburbs.

She further added that it meant that they were able to get into cities like Eugene, Oregon or Cedar Rapids, Iowa i.e., cities that one cannot historically think about for the [Uber] rideshare business.

This suburban expansion is equal for all delivery companies. Last month at Skift Restaurants Forum, Stan Chia, Grub hub’s COO (chief operating officer), explained his company’s push into newer markets. According to him a marketplace that encourages reinforcement, has been built. And this is a model for everyone. We want everybody to be a winner whether it is a guest, a restaurant or our delivery partners. Most smaller cities are looking forward to this.

Restaurant Partnerships Helps Growth

Delivery and partnerships are not a zero-sum game. The loss of one is not a gain for the other. Previously the story might have been different when big players in the market had reasonable coverage and each promoted not-so-much-talked-about restaurant chains that always help in a quick build-up of cache of restaurants available with the delivery companies.

Growth is fueled by chain partnerships because they both extend the geographic reach and offer an option that is predictable for consumers from the suburbs who react differently to deliveries as compared to people in other cities. Sallenave says that this boost is felt the most when a first-time visitor opens the app and sees a range of restaurants including brands. The eater or visitor is happy because brands maintain their standard and quality of food and so he continues with the order.

A Race For The Pace

The company is also aiming to pick their pace in both deliveries and business. The head of Uber Eats discussed at Skift Tech Forum that their company is now ready to roll out businesses in a short amount of time anywhere in the world if they have a product that will earn them good money.

To a pleasant surprise, their strategies seem to be well placed because, in September, the company witnessed a 10 times growth in orders as compared to September in 2016. Sallenave said that many restaurants are not engaging with the service either because of word of mouth marketing or because of having it onboard.

It Gets Better

Uber Eats has also rolled out a new feature that allows restaurants in the US and Canada to join Eats without any sales team and all on their own. The process is called self-serve and the company aims to use it for expansion purposes for the business.

According to Sallenave, the technology will allow restaurants to go online and follow an easy process that is self-explanatory. They will allow the willing customers (or as Uber Eats likes to call them; eaters) to get to their favorite food spots in a quicker fashion as more restaurants will be joining the network by signing the company’s delivery agreement online.

Silicon Valley has been using the self-serve model for years now but for the restaurant industry, its first-timer. Previously, onboarding teams and robust sales force were the main players to get things done for the restaurants. Square CEO Jack Dorsey unveiled that 60 % of the restaurants had self-onboarded on the platform. Square had selected a similar autonomous method allowing restaurants to go through the process by themselves.

Recently Uber Eats was reported by the Wall Street Journal to be having a worth of $20 billion. That is about 1/6 of the revenue of the entire company. According to Sallenave, no matter what the size of the market area was, delivery on time was their main ability to rely on in order to get their business booming. She added that they are trying to make the process smooth enough that the courier arrives exactly at the time when the food is ready to be delivered. This is a new approach in the food delivery industry and the company is hopeful to create some strong first experiences out of it.

Swiggy Wiki is about Swiggy an online food ordering and delivery company started in year 2014 in the Garden City of Bangalore. In 5 years time swiggy has grown to be the Indian’s biggest and most valued and trusted food delivery company. Swiggy has presence in more than 110 cities in India as of August 2019 and it is still growing. Swiggy has more than 7000000 apps installation and is a house hold name today.

In 2019 swiggy forayed into different delivery based business models to built the company more robust and increase their top lines using their same logistics and resources. Swiggy has started swiggy stores which does general product deliveries. Swiggy also launched swiggy go which is a quick pickup and drop services for any product like laundry, parcels etc.

Swiggy entered late in the food delivery scene. Which was already saturated and over crowded in 2014. With likes of foodpanda, tiny owl and zomato already dominating the market. In 2014 the food delivery market was still unorganized and even though new players were coming in the market it was not a profitable market. In-fact zomato scrapped its expansion plans during this period. But in less than four years time swiggy wiki like a dark horse swiggy came up riding fast from behind and over took all the players in the market to reach 1 billion valuation and become one of India’s most loved unicorn. Flipkart, another unicorn loved by India took 6 years to reach the milestone of becoming a unicorn. This gave a spur to zomato who also has been burning millions and trying to catch up with swiggy which reached a different league all-together.
In July 2018 swiggy wiki raised $210 millions at a valuation of $1.3 billion.

Swiggy is only one of the only technology startups that continues to thrive from the hyper funding wave of 2014-2015. In this wave it was expected that many successful startups and at-least half a dozen unicorns would be born. But swiggy wiki was the only one unicorn from this wave. Swiggy surpassed many of more matured and older competitors like zomato and also young and funding heavy companies like tinyowl.

Story of the swiggy founders by Swiggy Wiki:-

Sriharsha(harsha) majety the first founder and ceo came from a family of entrepreneur. In his own words he describes his entrepreneurship background ‘Entrepreneurship was always in my blood. My father runs a restaurant in Vijayawada, and plans to invest in the hospitality sector and my mother is a doctor by profession and has her own clinic. She is also planning to start her own chain of beauty parlours. Seeing my family members being in charge, and taking control of what they do was an inspiration from early years.”

He studied at BITS Pilani which he says also shaped his entrepreneurship abilities as he got to.meet a lot of people from different background and cultures. Harsha loved to travel which is another attribute he says helped him develop as an entrepreneur as he got exposed to global thinking and one very interesting anecdote from these journeys. He went to a lot of backpacking trips across southeast Asia and Europe. On one of these backpacking trips one of his guides helped him to prepare for failures and downtrend in startups with calm and patience. On one of his trips to Portugal where they had decided to cycle across the country. But harsha was not prepared for weather conditions and strenuous requirements of the trip. On the verge of giving up harsha was advised by his guide and host to do a simple thing that will help up cope up or at-least reduce the pressure of the trip – he said that on stretches which are uphill he can simply hitch a ride and when going downhill he can cycle. With this simple strategy harsha reduced the trips stress by more than 50% and realized that using the same strategy in life will give the same benefits. He realized that it was fine to take a pause and break when faced with a major uphill task and focus more on long term strategy and ignore short term failures.

After these incidents harsha learned to focus more on long term goals and overlook and overcome short-term failure. As harsha says “I think I have tried to apply the Zen approach in life to the extent possible and this has been immensely helpful in gaining some composure. That whole trip was about three months of cycling which was about 4,000 km by myself from Portugal to Turkey.”

One of the reasons Harsha took gap after college was his stubbornness. And this stubbornness has shaped him as an entrepreneur as per Swiggy Wiki.

When he got an opportunity to work in London as an investment banker his love for travelling nudged him on and he joined there. He loved London but didn’t find the banking job exciting. But here he figured that he needed to find something he was passionate about and so he decided to leave the job mid way and made his mind to come back to India. He dint have any plan when he came back to India but one thing he was sure about was that next thing he will take up will be for very long term.

Harsha know the founder of Redbus, phanindra sama. When phanindra had discussed his venture plans in 2006 with Harsha he found his idea and business plans to be far-fetched but when he came back and saw the strong growth the redbus gained he got highly inspired and started exploring ideas of startup with nandan reddy as per swiggy wiki.

Harsha and Nandan saw potential in the unorganized logistics and shipping sector in the booming eCommerce industry with flipkart, amazon, e-bay on phenomenol rise. They wanted to build a startup that was not just a pure software company or not just a pure offline company. They started Bundl in August 2013 in Bangalore. At that time most of online SMB were nascent to the online logistics. They were selling online but facing difficulties in shipping and dint have clear knowledge of the field.

But Bundl didnt work out. According to swiggy wiki The market dynamics changed with major players managing their shipping themselves which shrunk the market and SMB preferred to use trusted platforms of flipkart or amazon for shipping instead of new player. Another major reason Bundl failed was they did not have a technical co-founder. They reached out to many friends but no one was ready to take the plunge and eventually they moved ahead with using a 3rd party vendor to build their product.

Though Bundl failed one learning they got out of that was that logitics company were not good at technology. With this knowledge they started looking at opportunities were technology and logictics could be amalgamated. Ola and Uber were making waves a this time allowing people to make things work at a push of button. Harsha and Nandan saw another opportunity in hyperlocal Delivery and thus was born Swiggy.

While Nandan was already part of the Swiggy team – Harsha and Nandan needed another technical co founder. Their strongest learning from Bundl was that technical co-founder is absolutely required. They had to shut down Bundl due to delay in getting their technical platfrom ready. But at this point of time with a failed companies story as history no one was willing to join them and they didnt want to hire part-time employee or even full time employee with out technical guidance. They patiently hunted for a co-founder who would be as strongly involved in the startup as they both were. Finally their patience paid off as Rahul Jaimin, a developer joined them through a friends referal accoding to swiggy wiki.

Rahul’s entry into the system was filled with road blocks, First getting Rahul excited about the project took numerous meetings and discussions. Then he had to serve his notice period after that some personal issues came in Rahul’s life. But Rahul was a fighter and overcame everything and finally joined and rocked Swiggy wiki.

So from the 3 Rahul’s role was clearly defined as techical co-founder. But Harsha and Nandan did not have any clear division of roles. Speaking of his relationships with both, Nandan and Rahul, he says, “There is no right answer to whether or not starting with a friend is a good idea. I guess, knowing Nandan helped me because it helped us work with each other. Of course, we have our differences, but that is okay. Even with Rahul, I think we had a common tendency of being grounded, and going after what we wanted in life.” Both agree that difference of the opinion is going to be there between 2 individuals but a stong balance is needed for betterment of the company. The key will be to bring a ferocity in the team yet keep it calm. The understandng between co-founders is the most important thing. As told to swiggy wiki.

Harsha believes that 2 to 4 is a good number of co-founder to build a big business. Building a unicorn would be a huge uphill task for a single individual. One of the most important skills that a CEO must have acordingly to Harsha is story-telling. CEO needs to inspire team members everyday, convince investors and stakeholders to believe in their dream or simply energize the team it is storytelling that helps him achieve this. Another characteristic a CEO needs is to be resourceful. Being resourceful is a necessity be it to run a lean startup or network or build relationships. Eventually, having the right mix of traits with a great team is what makes a successful entrepreneur.
