7 reasons why urban Indians are lazy and proud!
So many tasks, so little motivation. It’s common knowledge, that the quintessential lifestyle of the new age Indian involves a frustratingly long list of everyday tasks. Uninvited guests to this stress party include painfully long lines, infuriating traffic,the unreasonable need for one’s bum to leave the couch or worse yet, actual social interaction with fellow humans. To quote the enduring wisdom of an erstwhile meme, ‘Ain’t nobody got time for that!’. However, Indians being Indians, have coped, and how!
Dunzo’s year end trend report shows how 2018 saw Indians masterfully manage their day-to-day chores by cleverly leveraging every possible convenience offered by the 24X7 ‘anything delivery’ app. From forgotten chargers to remembered birthdays. From Tupperware to underwear. From laundry to luxury. Folks all over the country unlocked their phones, and opened their doors to labour-less deliveries.
Fortunately 13,517 contraceptives were the only ‘deliveries’ users experienced. Indiranagar in Bangalore experienced the highest peak time rush, while T Nagar in Chennai came last.
Pune wrapped the year, with Aloo Rolls.Gurgaon heated things up with Tandoori Chicken, while Chennai kept it basic with meals. Hyderabad chilled with ice creams, while Delhi owned their slice of the pie with Pizzas.
No task is too bizarre of an ask at Dunzo. Gold medals, tarot cards and even actual hay. This country is sure is diverse!
The 20 razors deliveries on 30th of Movember shaved the users some trouble, while
the 75 clothes resized post Diwali meant that some sweets clearly went to waist. And for all those who were looking for a ‘single’ serving of comfort, 89 tubs of ice-cream were delivered on Valentine’s day.
Interestingly, late night deliveries also included 1,041 sanitary pads. Clearly, periods have no time-table.
Like it or not, Indians are unapologetically aboard the lazy train and it sure looks like the trend is here to stay!
