Zepto Success Story:  Co-founder and CEO of quick-commerce company Zepto, Adit Palicha, said on Monday that the passion to build a transformative company, not just the desire to earn money, was the reason for Zepto's success. Let us tell you that the market valuation of Zepto is five billion US dollars. 

In a TV program, 22-year-old Palicha said that despite working 80-100 hours a week, the Zepto team is not motivated by financial profit but by their passion for the platform they are building. 

We love our work: Palicha.

"We love the platform we are building. We work day and night, we are really excited about what we are building. It's not really about money or personal wealth. We obviously work 80-100 hours a week," he said. "At a certain point, money becomes unimportant," said Palicha, a Stanford University dropout.

AI is also used in customer support: Palicha.

He further said that while the valuation of many global internet companies has reached billions of dollars, such results are yet to come in India. Palicha also said that the 'quick-commerce unicorn' is working on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in its search capabilities and customer service to provide personalized user experience to its customers. 

How Zepto started

Quick commerce app Zepto was started by Adit Palicha at the age of 19 along with his friend Kaivalya Vohra. He believed that running a business is not a child's play. At an age when children are struggling to fulfill their needs and desires on pocket money, Kaivalya Vohra and Adit Palicha set up their company and made it a unicorn in just two years.
