D2C brands should stop selling their products on Blinkit like it’s Amazon. In this conversation, Sudarshan Gangrade, Founder of Lo! Foods (maker of brands Protein Chef (Lo Foods), DiabeSmart) explains how they took the exact same products that were clearing shelves on Amazon, listed them on quick commerce, and failed miserably. Sudarshan breaks down why the two channels(e-commerce & q-commerce) reward completely different things, and the pricing, packaging, and algorithmic playbook Lo Foods had to rebuild from scratch to turn quick commerce into a growth engine.

Imagine 10,000 warehouses, factories, and campuses across India, each sitting on a battery. 🇮🇳 During the day, they store cheap solar power from the grid at Rs 2–3/kWh. At night, they run on it. No diesel. No paying Rs 12/kWh to the DISCOM. And together, those 10,000 batteries can eventually act as multiple clusters of power plants, absorbing surplus when the grid is flooded, releasing it when demand peaks. A virtual power plant, distributed across the country, owned by no one and operated by software. The unit economics work today. The regulation is moving. The solar surplus is already here. Cell prices have fallen 95% in 15 years. A battery at an industrial site today pays for itself in 3–4 years, purely on energy savings. VoltSeal is building the intelligence layer that enables this. Rainmatter by Zerodha is backing them. A short interaction with founder Mudit below 👇
