Hi all, I am one of the founders of Chaldal. Happy to answer any questions here -- about Bangladesh or Chaldal. :)

This sound pretty well done (I'm in Australia, so I can't use your service, but Instacart and the like aren't here either). Do you have any plans to make available some sort of API for making orders/deliveries etc?

[waseemalim]

We will have to think about it. We didn't have it in mind to begin with -- but may be worth trying.

Sounds like Instacart. How's this different?

[waseemalim]

Our prices are cheaper than brick and mortar stores in the country. The supply chain is super fragmented and no one has the scale to bring costs down significantly. Think instacart without Safeway/Wholefoods.

We have our own warehouses. Our workers are full time.

What's the hottest Bengali song right now or recently?

Way out of my expertise. But this went viral a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blXydyJLkYY

Thanks so much. Please ask your family/friends to try us out.

Any plans to launch in India? Can I help?

[waseemalim]

No plans in India for now as the market feels super competitive. We have a big enough market at hand and would like to have a clear lead before we expand internationally. We're looking for full-stack engineers. Please email me waseem@<domain>
