Zepto
FeaturedGrocery delivery in 10 minutes.
Founded in 2021 by Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra, two 19-year-old Stanford dropouts, Zepto was built to prove that 10-minute grocery delivery was possible and scalable in India's dense urban cities. Using a network of small, strategically located dark stores stocked with high-velocity items, Zepto achieves 10-minute delivery times with remarkable reliability. The company raised $350 million in 2024 at a $5 billion valuation, becoming one of India's fastest unicorns. Zepto now operates across 30+ cities with over 700 dark stores and is one of the most important players in India's booming quick commerce market, which is expected to reach $40 billion by 2030.
