Last week, on a business trip, I ran out of shaving foam.

I called the hotel concierge to request a standard ₹100 can of shaving foam.
They hummed and hawed, made multiple calls, said they’d have to send someone to the market in the hotel car and bill me for it.

I told them not to bother. Ordered it on a quick commerce app — and it arrived in 6 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬.

Hotels seem to be falling behind in keeping up with consumers and the shifting, higher standards they have become accustomed to in their daily lives.

- Need shaving foam? Quick commerce delivers it faster than the concierge.
- Hungry? Why pay a premium for average-tasting room service when food delivery apps offer better food at better prices.
- Coffee? The corner café serves a real cup at a third the price of that automatic machine brew.
- Head massage? Urban Company > spa appointment.

Hotels are slowly becoming just a roof over your head.
Almost every other experience is better - and cheaper - outside the hotel than inside.

Time for the hotel industry to reinvent itself.

To become not just a place to sleep, but a contemporary, delightful part of the travel experience again.

Startup fashion brands in India are becoming very large, very fast and profitably so. Historically considered a touch-me-not category by VCs, I am pleasantly surprised by how quickly some of them are scaling through a combination of:

- Omnichannel strategy (usually using Unicommerce) + 
- Strong POV on merchandise differentiation + 
- Social media content & branding muscle + 
- In-house manufacturing

Numerous 100cr+ fashion brands out there now that started in the last 5-7 years.
