What's the hottest Bengali song right now or recently?

  Way out of my expertise. But this went viral a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blXydyJLkYY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blXydyJLkYY

Any plans to launch in India? Can I help?
- waseemalim 11y ago
  No plans in India for now as the market feels super competitive. We have a big enough market at hand and would like to have a clear lead before we expand internationally. We're looking for full-stack engineers. Please email me waseem@<domain>

Sounds like Instacart. How's this different?

  Our prices are cheaper than brick and mortar stores in the country. The supply chain is super fragmented and no one has the scale to bring costs down significantly. Think instacart without Safeway/Wholefoods. We have our own warehouses. Our workers are full time.

  Thanks so much. Please ask your family/friends to try us out.

This sound pretty well done (I'm in Australia, so I can't use your service, but Instacart and the like aren't here either). Do you have any plans to make available some sort of API for making orders/deliveries etc?
- waseemalim 11y ago
  We will have to think about it. We didn't have it in mind to begin with -- but may be worth trying.

bangladeshi here, really good see a bd startup in YC, we need more people like you.

  Thank you. The startup scene in BD is definitely starting to get traction -- we just need more engineers. Please ask your family/friends to try out Chaldal.
