...any of us no longer want to cook our own meals or walk to nearby grocery stores. Even if we pay just 5 or 10 rupees more for these services, it can add up, and the real cost goes beyond money. Our dependence on takeout and processed foods is negatively affecting our health. Without cooking at home or engaging in regular exercise, we risk becoming unhealthy. It's no surprise that chronic diseases are becoming more common among people in their 20s. We need to prioritize healthy eating and physical activity in our daily lives.

The Dark Side of Zepto & Zepto Café – What No One Talks About

At first glance, Zepto looks like the future of quick commerce ultrafast deliveries, sleek branding, and now, cafés popping up everywhere. But what’s really happening behind the scenes? Here’s the truth they don’t want you to know. 👇 Dark Patterns & Manipulative Pricing • Fake “Only 1 left!” alerts to push panic buying. • Hidden charges sneakily added at checkout. • Items mysteriously appearing in your cart. Hypergrowth = Chaos • Expanding at breakneck speed with zero focus on quality. • Undertrained staff, operational mess, and growing customer complaints. Fake Reviews = Manufactured Trust • 5-star ratings? Paid. • Negative reviews? Buried. • Employees forced to post fake praises. 💀 Toxic Work Culture • Weekend torture calls till midnight. • Public humiliation in Slack groups. • Impossible targets, mental health ignored. Zepto is built on exploitation, manipulation, and burnout. Think twice before trusting what you see.
