Hi folks, 

I'm Aadit, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. We're one of India's fastest growing consumer internet companies and are today present across 10+ cities in the country. 

I'd love to chat with you folks about my journey in building Zepto, my thoughts on the quick commerce space, organization building, amongst other things.

Ask away!

I'm Aadit Palicha, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. Ask me anything!

Hey @Aadit  
I’m @salt  
  
Some questions from my side: 
1. As companies scale there are many diverging opinions on how things should run. How do you ensure that the best ideas drive the company even though they might be in direct conflict with your point of view?  
  
2. What kind of impact have you seen via use of Machine Learning to streamline operational efficiency wrt initial benchmarks? 
  
3. What is the key focus area that you are currently working on? 
  
4. How do you balance creating shareholder value versus customer value?

The timing of Zeptos fundraise is significant given the slump in investments into growth- and late-stage startups on the one hand and the correction being witnessed in the quick commerce segment on the other.

Unicorn drought ends as Zepto raises $200 million at $1.4 billion valuation

Zepto becomes India's 1st 2023 unicorn

Everything kept aside, it’s genuinely awe-inspiring that they’ve been able to do this in a market with close to zero interest in consumer internet plays, and most models failing  
  
 There’s definitely something about the way they executed. And many good things are said within the ecosystem about Aadit as a founder!

I had heard Waycool was also talking to raise at unicorn valuation, but they've fired like 300 people on Monday, so that's pretty uncertain. What to make of Zepto, though?

I'll go first.

1. even healthcare
2. Hike/Rush
3. Spartan Poker
4. Ultrahuman
5. Invideo

Mention the reason too if possible.
Let's discover some hidden ones. Brownie points if you mention startups that only a few have heard of.

If you know a less-known Indian startup that is doing some crazy shit (not so obvious ones), do mention.

Your turn.

What are some cool startups (Indian) you would love to work with?

As an ex-Ultrahuman employee, I can confirm that you don’t want to work there. 
  
 The culture is cut throat. I was there for an year and I got a total of 3 weekends where I didn’t touch my laptop. 
  
 Credit where its due, founders and people are amazing, it’s just that the expectations are so high that you are constantly overworked.

- Zepto, an Indian instant delivery startup, has secured $340 million in a Series G round, valuing the company at $5 billion.
- The funding round, co-led by General Catalyst and Mars Growth Capital, brings Zepto's total fresh funding this year to nearly $1 billion.
- Competing with BlinkIt and Swiggy’s Instamart, Zepto is on track to generate over $1.5 billion in annualized sales.
- Quick-commerce services like Zepto are gaining traction in urban India, leveraging strategically located 'dark stores' to fulfill orders within minutes.
- Analysts note that quick-commerce firms in India are outperforming traditional e-commerce giants like Amazon, which has been slow to adapt to changing consumer habits.

Zepto Raises $340M at $5B Valuation Amidst India's Quick-Commerce Boom

I am currently building Kirana.Pro an anti Zepto model where we don’t have any dark stores. Instead we partner with nearby Kirana stores. What do you think of this idea? Can it win like how Namma Yatri won against Ola and Uber?

Anti Zepto model by partnering with Kiranas

Hey all!

I have a product, in the vegan, frozen ready to eat category, and I am trying to get them onboarded on zepto.

After reaching out to 5-6 people through LinkedIn and one reference, I am back to square one.

However we will go live on big basket in a few days, the reach and volume of Q-commerce is what we are eyeing. Any ideas how this can be achieved?

Thanks in advance!

How do I get my product onboarded on Zepto?
