This enables the workers to deliver you the freshest of commodities in the shortest time possible. Once you have access to groundbreaking services like Dunzo, there’s no turning back. This is what makes it super successful.

What lead to the creation of Dunzo?
Believe it or not, it all began with a tiny WhatsApp group. With the idea of making people’s lives a bit easier and less straining, Kabeer created a WhatsApp group and took orders from people and delivered items to them in person.
People found this unprecedented idea extremely valuable thus leading this small-scale business to grow rapidly. He then got together with his friends [now co-founders] to transform the idea into something bigger and better, leading to the making of Dunzo.
And today, it has managed to get funded by 29 investors including large companies like Google and Reliance Retail.
D for Diversity!
Dunzo swears by inclusivity and diversity. Just like how their products and services can’t be more diverse, their workplace consists of diversified people from all around India.
Dunzo wholeheartedly supports the LGBTQ+ community by advocating equal rights for everyone. Their recent campaign “HereForPride” worked for raising awareness and eradicating the negative stereotypes about the queer community. Dunzo’s platform is safe and all-embracing for everyone no matter their unique identity.
Just Dunzo it!
Dunzo has become so convenient and influential that it has now become a verb. Each time you run out of an essential item and feel the need to order it, saying “Just dunzo it!” gets your point across effortlessly. That’s how much of an impact Dunzo has had on people.
“The fact that Dunzo can be a verb is fairly goosebumpy,” says Kabeer, while expressing his gratitude towards the company and its customers.
