Spotlight Series | A Better Way To Make Last-Mile Deliveries With Buncha CEO Bharat Pulgam

Buncha Co-Founder and CEO Bharat Pulgam joins Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga to discuss a smarter way to think about last-mile delivery, i.e. giving customers scheduled weekly neighborhood deliveries at a fraction of the cost. In this podcast, Chris and Anne go deep with Bharat on: - The misconceptions around speed vs. convenience, especially when the former is far more expensive - The economic value of scheduled neighborhood deliveries both for consumers and for retailers - How such a model increases pick and pack efficiency (by enabling orders to be processed in stores overnight) while also significantly lowering delivery costs - And why the whole concept may just be a radical new way to think about localized fulfillment It is a concept that draws many parallels with how airlines operate and one that is sure to challenge your conventional ways of thinking about e-commerce.
