US CEO says India is living in 2030
US-based CEO Varuni Sarwal shared her amazement about India’s quick commerce platforms. The CEO of TriFetch (AI and healthcare) wrote on X, “San Francisco has self-driving cars. India has 10-minute everything. I’m not sure which is more impressive."
She added that after living in the US for five years, returning to India made Amazon Prime’s “2-Day Delivery" seem “ancient" compared to India's “10-minute reality”.
Sarwal further shared that she and her friend, who is also her company’s partner, were in Ranchi for a wedding when they realised they had forgotten their haldi outfits.
“In the US, this would be a panic drive to the mall. In India, we opened Blinkit. 15 mins later, 2 full outfits arrived at the hotel," she wrote.
She ended her post by saying India is far ahead when it comes to B2C logistics. “India is living in 2030 for B2C logistics. (PS: If you zoom in… yes, Rose is in a Men’s Kurta and I’m in a Men’s Lungi. We optimised for speed, not gender accuracy)."
Below the post, the US-based entrepreneur also shared a photo of the two of them at the wedding setup. In the picture, both are dressed in simple, traditional outfits they ordered online, standing in front of a bright yellow haldi decoration filled with marigolds and hanging ornaments.
San Francisco has self-driving cars. India has 10-minute everything. I’m not sure which is more impressive.

The post got 99,000 views and has drawn many comments.
A user commented, “India is indeed living in 2030! But I’m going to bet that your ‘men’s lungi’ was actually a formal dhoti/veshti! Blinkit delivers clothing, but it can’t deliver cultural context yet."
Another asked, “10 Mins Grocery to Self-Drive Car Comparison??" Someone else pointed out, “In many instances, the southern hemisphere is leaps and bounds ahead of the West… consider Mobile Money as well."
A person remarked, “It’s not B2C logistics. It’s cheap labour." Another joked, “This is crazy jugaad."
“All about needs!! For me, settling in the US or Europe is far better than here and for you 10-min delivery is prime !!! Hope you understood,” said another user.
