Who is Kabeer Biswas founder of Dunzo?

Kabeer was born in 1984. Sadly, his father passed away when he was just 19 years old. Despite this loss, Kabeer inherited a significant amount of wealth from his father. This inheritance provided him with the financial freedom to explore various ideas and take risks without worrying about playing it safe. His mother was well-versed in his father's business, so she felt secure about Kabeer's future, allowing him to pursue his interests without concerns about her own well-being. As a result, Kabeer feels he has no dependents and can fearlessly experiment with the ideas that pique his interest.

Kabeer Biswas - Education

After completing his MBA in 2007, Kabeer began his professional career journey. He joined Bharti Airtel Limited and initially worked in rural NPD (New Product Development). Impressively, within just two years, he advanced to roles that focused on social, community, and location-based services.

After his stint at Videocon Telecommunications Limited, where he focused on New Product Development for about three months starting October 2010, Kabeer ventured into the realm of digital media with Y2CF Digital Media Private Limited. It was there that he founded Hoppr, a company later acquired by Hike in 2014.

How A WhatsApp Group Which Turned Into A Rs 6,400-Crore Company

Armed with these diverse experiences, Kabeer embarked on his next venture, Dunzo, in January 2015. He started small, initially operating from a small WhatsApp group. Kabeer firmly believed that in businesses centered around delivery and logistics, even if not all systems were tech-based, superior customer service should always prevail. With this vision driving him, he set out to establish Dunzo as a reliable and efficient delivery service provider for people in need.

Dunzo's delivery services extend to major cities such as Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurugram, Pune, Chennai, Jaipur, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. While initially focusing on affluent areas in Bengaluru like Indiranagar, Koramangala, and the central business district, the overarching aim was to streamline daily tasks for users, making their lives easier.

Kabeer Biswas - Funding Raised via Dunzo

Dunzo made headlines in 2017 when it became the first Indian tech company to receive funding from Google. This marked a significant milestone for the company, which has since amassed a total of $700 million in funding by January 2022. In January 2022, Reliance Retail continued to support Dunzo with a substantial investment of $240 million.

Kabeer Biswas's main drive behind Dunzo was to help people save time. This hyperlocal delivery startup offers a convenient solution for transferring or delivering desired items or packages across different parts of the city with just a simple click.

Dunzo¡¯s Financial Mess

Dunzo has faced challenges in meeting its employees' salaries, experiencing multiple delays over the past year. Additionally, the company reported a significant loss of Rs 1,800 crore in FY23, marking a 288 percent increase from the previous year. This financial strain has been compounded by the departure of several key executives, including co-founders and the finance head, which has further impacted the company's stability and operations.
