Frequently asked questions about Dunzo
Section titled “Frequently asked questions about Dunzo”Is Dunzo still hiring? Is Dunzo shut down?
No - Dunzo has completely shut down. The app and website went offline in January 2025 following the departure of cofounder and CEO Kabeer Biswas (who joined Flipkart), after 12-18 months of steep decline. Reliance Retail, which had invested roughly $200 million in Dunzo in January 2022, wrote off its entire stake - one of the largest individual startup write-offs in India’s history. There are no revival plans as of 2025-2026, so there is no current Dunzo hiring process to prepare for.
What was the Dunzo interview process like when it was operating?
Historically, Dunzo’s fresher SDE process ran 4-5 stages: an Online Assessment (90 min, 2-3 coding problems, often route-optimization/logistics-flavoured), one or two Technical Interviews (DSA plus a system-design round scoped to delivery/logistics - real-time tracking, route optimization), a Managerial round, and an HR round. This is kept here as a historical/archival reference, not as live prep material, since the company no longer operates.
Why did Dunzo fail?
Dunzo pivoted into quick commerce in 2021 and ended up competing against much better-capitalised rivals - Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart - who could sustain far greater dark-store density. Dunzo was unable to raise the funding needed to keep pace, accumulated unpaid vendor and employee obligations, and lost three of its four cofounders before shutting down entirely in January 2025.
Should I still apply to or prepare for Dunzo?
No - Dunzo is not accepting applications or conducting interviews, since the company has shut down. If you’re preparing for quick-commerce/hyperlocal-delivery interviews generally, the still-operating players in that space (Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart) are the more useful targets - see the Blinkit and Swiggy pages on this site for current, live interview processes with the same domain flavour (routing, inventory sync, delivery SLAs).
