Dropezy was an Indonesian quick commerce startup focused on a recurring-based platform for daily needs, guaranteeing next-day and low-cost deliveries to eliminate shopping hassles for users.[2] It served consumers and small businesses in Indonesia by streamlining access to everyday essentials, but pivoted in early 2023 to Sekilo, a B2B platform revolutionizing poultry meat processing and distribution with data-driven, sustainable solutions sourced from across Java.[1]
Sekilo addresses supply chain inefficiencies in the protein category, offering customized deliveries from 25kg for SMEs to 10-ton orders, Halal and NKF-certified quality, and plans for 'buy now, pay later' fintech partnerships, achieving profitability through a lean team and positive profit contribution without heavy marketing.[1]
Dropezy was founded by Chandni Chainani and participated in Y Combinator's Winter 2022 batch (YC W22), operating as an internet publishing and quick commerce venture in Indonesia with around 64 employees at its peak.[3] The idea emerged in the fast-growing quick commerce space, gaining early traction as a "roaring success" in daily needs delivery.[1][2]
In late 2022, amid a shift toward profitability, data analysis revealed untapped potential in the protein category, prompting a strategic pivot; Dropezy shut down operations and rebranded to Sekilo in January 2023 to consolidate supply chain expertise in poultry downstream.[1]
Dropezy rode Indonesia's quick commerce boom, targeting recurring daily needs amid rising e-commerce adoption in Southeast Asia.[2] The 2023 pivot to Sekilo aligns with global protein supply chain digitization trends, capitalizing on post-pandemic demands for efficient, traceable food distribution in emerging markets like Indonesia's vast poultry sector.[1]
Timing is key: profitability pressures in 2022 forced many quick commerce players to consolidate or exit, favoring data-led B2B models amid economic headwinds; Sekilo benefits from market forces like urbanization, SME growth, and Halal demand, influencing the ecosystem by redefining protein logistics with tech-enabled customization.[1]
Sekilo is positioned to scale its profitable poultry platform, potentially expanding 'buy now, pay later' integrations and geographic reach beyond Java. Trends like AI-driven supply chains and sustainable proteins will shape its path, evolving its influence from quick commerce disruptor to a key player in Indonesia's agritech ecosystem—echoing Dropezy's original mission to solve real-world delivery pains through smart, adaptive tech.[1]
