Swiggy One - positioned as an upgrade, is actually a downgrade! If you were “super” all this time, you will see how this new proposition is misleading with unclear terms and reduced benefits

@Ravisutanjani 1. Consumers don’t (yet) choose a bank due to how good the app/website is 2. Profitability has nothing to do with Apps; but how/much you lend and how you recover and deposits you maintain (casa) 3. Consumers come to bank for trust and reliability; not tech

A great #product is a reflection of a trinity done well 1. Understanding what consumers really need (rather than just asking them) 2. Designing a product that works (rather than just a good looking ui) 3. Building for the future (rather than solving just a current problem)

@Ravisutanjani “Indian economy growing strong ” is too much of an inflated correlation n extrapolation from “people buying gold” Its also a fallacy that we can be insulated if the world goes into a recession.
