I occasionally send a dunzo to printo + call printo to verify they’ve got documents ❌Buying a printer : I’m not printing that often + it’s always 2-3 pages What I would like is a printo <> dunzo integration so I could upload the doc directly. Blinkit just productized it.

This is legit. Blinkit is charging an amount of Rs 9 per page for black and white printing and Rs 19 for coloured. Further, a delivery fee of Rs 25 will be levied by the company for every such order. Now you have to ask yourself if you are that busy in life!

You can weed out 90% of non-serious candidates by just giving an assignment upfront. 3 responses: 1. Radio silence --> 60% 2. Constantly updating their submission date, ultimately making an exaggerated excuse --> 30% 3. Deliver. most on time ---> Voila! You're welcome!
