We've just closed this financing, although it still feels like Day 1. We have a lot more execution to go before we build a generational company for our customers and shareholders. Back to work :) P.S. - We have built an excellent selection of Gold and Silver coins for customers

During my last trip to San Francisco, I had a great conversation with Garry Tan (the CEO of Y Combinator) on YC's How to Build the Future podcast. Zepto is lucky to be a Y Combinator startup, and I honestly believe we wouldn't have gotten off the ground without them. I think

It is easy to criticise consumer internet startups in India, especially when you compare them to the deep technical excellence being built in US/China. Using our example, the reality is this: there are almost 1.5 Lakh real people who are earning livelihoods on Zepto today - a

Zepto Cafรฉ has hit 100K orders/day. That's closing in on a $100M Ann. GMV with a ~50% steady-state GM. It hasn't been easy to get Cafรฉ the ground and many challenges are still work-in-progress, but I believe this is the beginning of a revolution in India's QSR industry.

4 weeks ago, I put out my 2nd Zepto Cafรฉ update when we hit 50,000 orders/day. Today, we've hit 75,000 orders/day! 50% month-on-month growth. Customer love is strong, the economics are working, and the team is fired up. Many more milestones to go ๐

[Reposting from LI] In April '24, we shared that Zepto had crossed $1B in Ann. GOV. 8 months later, in Jan '25, we are now at $3B in Ann. GOV This milestone is due to the incredible Zepto team with whom I am confident we will continue growing with a path to PAT breakeven soon.

In December, I posted that we launched a new app for Zepto Cafรฉ (food delivered in 10 minutes), which was doing 30K orders/day. Just 4 weeks later, we have crossed 50K orders/day - that's 60% month-on-month growth ๐คฏ. It feels like Zepto is just getting started ๐

We're launching a separate app for Zepto Cafรฉ next week! The team is shipping an MVP and iterating quickly, so it may not be perfect on Day 1, but it's worth it to launch fast :D Cafรฉ is scaling rapidly: we're launching 100+ Cafรฉs a month and already clocking 30K orders/day ๐
