Hey Česká národní banka, PayPal in Czech claims that all transactions in Czech has to be cleared only in CZK. Is that factually correct? Why can't the payouts be in euro? They charge a 4.5% spread on transfers that's #criminal in this day and age.

It takes 5yrs to grow an #appletree and then there is no guarantee that it will bear fruit. The love & care of farmers creates a bountiful orchard. Similarly, the founders have to be #gritty and patient to grow their #startups into successful #business.

Whoever came up with the idea of "Best Before Dates" (aka Expiry dates in common world) for food is barking mad. Humans are throwing perfectly edible food in bins just because of a psychological barrier of dates. Its not medicine for god sake. #bestbefore…lnkd.in/d_gNQTBw

For the last 2yrs at Dookan, my primary focus was to #Mentor the next level of leadership and continuously #train our new staff. Thanks to all that #hardwork as a team, I could afford a month of #paternity break with my young family. #teamwork #familylife

After bleeding #tons of #cash the #grocerydelivery companies are venturing into #brickandmortar. They couldn't possibly compete with the likes of Tesco, Aldi, Albert even with a big pile of cash. #Franchising would be their next stop I bet.

Hey Revolut when are you going to put #paypal out of its misery? Atrocious service for merchants, outdated tech and abysmal handling of multicurrency. Its about time we have #european tech for European #merchants.

Next decade will see a seismic shift in how #B2C businesses will be conducted. The path to #decentralization aka beginning of the end of platforms (#Amazon, #Target, etc.,) has started. #Adapt or perish.

Wow 200 in 254b whilst playing 100th test. Take a bow #DavidWarner. But I bet you won't be doing your signature celebrations anytime soon after being #retiredhurt

Y-2022 was one hell of a roller coaster ride for team Dookan. Incredibly proud how the team successfully pivoted from a grocery delivery business with ever decreasing #contribution margins to a very profitable #omnichannel #franchise and a waiting list of…lnkd.in/epmJkTFF

Indian #consumerbrands in the #fmcg and #foodandbeverage space are never going to become global brands. They have no intent to explore new #distribution channels except the traditional #momandpop ethnic stores. #primedtofail #itc #aashirvaad poorly trained #sales #bd teams

#inflation is wrecking havoc in the e-commerce world. The end consumer is unwilling to pay high product prices passed onto them due to increased pick, pack and #deliver costs. So, its time to pivot or #die. Dookan's pivot to #omnichannel is helping us #th…lnkd.in/ewKtZgN3

I got rejected by 144 investors before raising $150M for my $200M+ rev/year startup. After 144 rejections, I started questioning our approach. Were we solving the right problem? What were we doing wrong? Why weren’t investors seeing what we were seeing? Were we the right
