Dailyobjects joins forces with Zepto for lightning-fast tech deliveries
MUMBAI: Dailyobjects has teamed up with Zepto to make its premium tech accessories available for ultra-fast deliveries. To mark this milestone, Dailyobjects has launched a witty campaign film created by Propaganda, a creative agency led by founder & creative director Mohamed Rizwan.
The film playfully depicts a ‘meet-cute’ moment ruined by Zepto’s unmatched delivery speed. The story unfolds in a clinic’s waiting room, where a girl, accompanied by her overprotective father, struggles with a dying phone battery. She locks eyes with a boy, and just as the sparks of young romance begin to fly, her father, seeing the danger, stealthily orders a power bank via Zepto. As the boy gears up to save the day with a charger from his bag, Zepto’s delivery rider arrives in record time, handing over the power bank and shutting down the romance before it even begins. The voiceover cheekily informs viewers that Dailyobjects’ power banks and chargers are now available on Zepto, delivered in just 10 minutes.
Dailyobjects founder & CEO Pankaj Garg highlighted the brand’s vision, “At Dailyobjects, we’re committed to making everyday carry #LessOrdinary. Partnering with Zepto is a natural extension of this mission. By ensuring that our products are now accessible within 10 minutes, we’re addressing the immediate needs of today’s on-the-go consumers. This campaign perfectly captures the essence of why this partnership makes sense—fast, reliable, and just what you need at the right time.”
Rizwan explained the concept behind the film, “The film was based on the idea that looking for a charger is one of those rare instances we talk to people we wouldn’t otherwise talk to. The film conveys this in a classic boy-meets-girl story, and we loved the idea of a Zepto rider coming in and sabotaging this love story before it goes any further, thanks to Zepto’s super quick delivery. Hopefully, our audience will find it funny as well.”
This collaboration is a strategic step in addressing the fast-paced lifestyle of modern consumers. With Zepto’s ultra-fast delivery model, Dailyobjects ensures that users no longer have to wait for essential tech accessories, whether it’s a last-minute necessity or a quick upgrade.
Zepto chief brand & culture officer Chandan Mendiratta emphasised the synergy, “At Zepto, we’re all about speed and convenience, and our partnership with Dailyobjects is a natural extension of that mission. Tech accessories are daily essentials, and now, users won’t have to wait for a charger, power bank, or cable when they need it most. Thanks to our Sellers, Dailyobjects’ innovative products are now instantly accessible through Zepto’s rapid delivery model. Whether it’s a last-minute necessity or a quick upgrade, we’re redefining convenience—solving everyday tech needs in just 10 minutes.”
As this partnership unfolds, consumers can expect their everyday carry to become even more seamless, stylish, and surprisingly convenient. Dailyobjects, known for its modern-day essentials like tech accessories, wireless chargers, bags, and desk gear, have seen over three times growth in the past four years—fueled by its unique blend of design, functionality, and affordability.

Flipkart cuts around 300 jobs in annual performance review
E-commerce giant trims ~1.5 per cent of workforce as IPO preparations continue.
MUMBAI: Flipkart just gave performance the pink slip because when the annual review bell rings, even the biggest cart sometimes needs to lighten its load. Flipkart has let go of approximately 300 employees as part of its annual performance management cycle, Moneycontrol reported on 7 March 2026, citing people familiar with the matter. The exits represent roughly 1.5 per cent of the company’s total workforce of around 20,000 people across its businesses.
The move follows Flipkart’s standard practice of asking employees placed in lower performance bands to leave during yearly reviews, a process the company has carried out periodically in recent years. A similar exercise in early 2024 saw around 1,000 employees (nearly 5 per cent of the workforce) exit.
The latest round comes amid Flipkart’s continued push for operational efficiency and cost discipline, mirroring broader trends across the Indian startup ecosystem where funding slowdowns have shifted focus toward profitability.
The development also arrives as Flipkart advances preparations for a potential domestic IPO. The company has held early discussions with investment banks including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan and Kotak Mahindra Capital to explore feasibility. Industry sources indicate a possible listing timeline of late 2026 or early 2027, though the final size and schedule remain undecided.
In December 2025, Flipkart received National Company Law Tribunal approval to shift its holding company domicile from Singapore back to India. a key regulatory step that simplifies the group structure ahead of a public market debut.
Controlled by Walmart, Flipkart remains one of India’s largest e-commerce platforms, locked in fierce competition with Amazon. In a market where every rupee counts and every headcount is scrutinised, the latest cuts aren’t just housekeeping, they’re part of a bigger balancing act between growth ambitions and the road to listing.
