Zepto is one of the fastest growing startups in India today. Just 6 months after launching, we've raised $160 million from marquee investors in Silicon Valley and India.
Our Founders, Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra, dropped out of Stanford University to build Zepto in India. Together, they’ve created an incredibly strong team, with Senior Executives from Uber, Flipkart, Dream11, Pepperfry, and Pharmeasy.
The magic of Zepto is our ability to consistently deliver 3,000+ products in 10 minutes flat. It's the core of what we do, and the reason why we’ve been able to grow so fast with phenomenal customer love. Our mission is simple: to make 10-minute delivery the new normal.
