Piyush Patel

Piyush Patel is the CEO of Dropit, a hyperlocal delivery and commerce platform he is building into an everyday super app for Indian consumers — groceries, meals, medicines and small-parcel logistics running on one stack. He also serves as Director of Business Operations at HK Infosoft, the Ahmedabad-based product and services company behind Dropit, and is an associate founder at Mental Math, an ed-tech venture focused on early-age numerical skills. His work sits at the intersection of technology, operations and unit economics: designing rider networks, merchant onboarding and pricing that hold up as order volumes scale beyond a single city. On Chai Time with ManthanBaba, Piyush talks about what it actually takes to run hyperlocal in India — the ground realities of last-mile delivery, why so many super apps stall out, and how Dropit is trying to earn a place in customers' daily routines rather than fight for the biggest headline.
