Am I Robin Hood?

Started discount hunting in food/grocery delivery apps in India, able to find many deals and saving good amount of money. Giving back most of the saved amount as tips to delivery guys. Using swiggy/zepto from multiple accounts and getting deals. These food/grocery startups with their funding are hurting small business, try to get max discount from them and giving back to society.

When these apps go down, so will the engineers and so many delivery and store managers who have got the job. Yes, these apps impact the local shop. But some are building ecosystem where small shops can coexist by providing supply to shops at lower cost (using economes of scale) and boost their margin. Both need to co exist.
