Bengaluru startup delivering food in 10 minutes divides the internet: ‘Who asked for this?’

Hindustan Times  

A Bengaluru-based startup that promises to deliver food in just 10 minutes has divided opinion on social media. While some were critical of the whole concept – asking why anyone would need food delivered in 10 minutes – others also wondered whether food dished out so quickly would actually be fresh. Some also pointed to the logistical challenges of delivering food in 10 minutes by saying that delivery agents would feel the need to drive rashly. “I would never order from such a facility knowing nothing healthy can be cooked in 2-3 minutes,” countered X user Aditya Pasumarthi Some X users said food in 10 minutes is something that no one has asked for. “If you need food delivered in 10 minutes just cooking it yourself this is literally just labour exploitation,” another wrote.
