Here's what we asked Bharat :

1. Bharat, give us the update, since March its been a few months at the time of this recording, what has expanded, what has changed at Buncha?
2. Why is Buncha a good value proposition for brands. What brands and categories should be talking to you? Can brands work with you on the platform for offers to consumers?
3. How has investor partnerships been and can you take us through how capital growth has been? Any key messages for prospective investors?
4. Give us the scoop on expansion plans, since you last came on, what categories have you expanded to, which new brands and retailers are partners?
5. Retail expansion - what does your current capital flow look at and what cities or neighborhoods are you seeking to deliver for and into?
6. I’d love to hear about customer experience on the app? What’s new, what’s changed and how are you streamlining order friction for your customers?
7. What is your outlook on other grocery intermediary delivery partners? They don’t focus on routine and pantry but they are a large part of home delivery? What is your approach for these customers?
8. The last question here is always a fast forward - what trends do you see evolving in delivery that makes you believe Buncha is the long term community grocery pantry delivery platform of choice for customers, brands and retailers alike?
