Zepto’s Meteoric Rise
“The M3M Hurun India Rich List 2025 chronicles India’s shift from a services-centric past to a deep-tech, product-led powerhouse…….The meteoric rise of Zepto’s co-founders, Kaivalya Vohra, 22, and Aadit Palicha, 23, highlights how technology and innovation are compressing wealth-creation timelines. India’s wealth story is now about speed, disruption, and home-grown brains with global impact,” Hurun India’s report said.
Raised in Dubai, Kaivalya Vohra dropped out of Stanford University’s computer science programme at 18 to pursue entrepreneurship. Along with Palicha, he launched Kiranakart, an online platform promising 45-minute grocery deliveries, which set the stage for Zepto.
Competing in Quick Commerce
Zepto was founded in 2021 during the COVID pandemic when online delivery gained momentum. The company has been expanding rapidly, competing against major players such as Swiggy, Zomato-owned Blinkit, and Tata-backed BigBasket.
Vohra featured on the Hurun India Rich List in 2024 as well, with a net worth of ₹3,600 crore. In one year, the Zepto CTO’s wealth has risen by ₹800 crore, reflecting the startup’s strong growth trajectory.
