About KiranaKart Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (Zepto)

Zepto, operated by KiranaKart Technologies Pvt. Ltd., is an Indian quick-commerce company headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra that delivers groceries, fresh produce, dairy, household essentials, personal care, and other daily-needs items typically within 10 to 20 minutes from a network of dark stores across major Indian cities. The company offers consumer applications for Android and iOS, a web shop, and recently launched lifestyle and category-extension experiences within its app. The company was founded in 2021 by Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra, two Stanford University drop-outs who returned to India to launch a hyperlocal grocery delivery model based on a dense network of small fulfilment centres. Zepto raised institutional capital from investors including Y Combinator, Nexus Venture Partners, Glade Brook, StepStone Group, and several Indian family offices and reached unicorn valuation in 2022. The company has since continued to raise large funding rounds, expand its dark-store network, and reportedly plans to file for an Indian initial public offering. Zepto's operating model is built around dark stores, which are small staffed warehouses optimised for picking and dispatch within a small radius. The company manages catalogue, inventory, demand forecasting, dynamic pricing, dark-store layout and labour planning, dispatch routing, and a delivery-partner network through internally built software, with categories including grocery, fresh, frozen, gourmet, and Zepto Cafe. Adjacent products include Zepto Cafe for ready-to-drink and ready-to-eat items and the Zepto Pass subscription. Zepto employs more than a thousand people in corporate roles across product, engineering, design, growth, supply chain, and finance, with several thousand more in store and delivery operations. Major hubs include Mumbai and Bengaluru. Indian fresher and early-career hiring at Zepto targets software engineering, data engineering, data science, product management, design, growth, supply-chain, and operations roles, with applications routed through the Zepto careers page at zeptonow.com.
