Our next guest on The Masters’ Union Podcast is one of the youngest to feature on IIFL WealthHurun India’s Rich List 2022. Meet the founder of Zepto, Kaivalya Vohra, who dropped out of his course at Stanford to become an entrepreneur.

When it comes to the business of bits versus the business of atoms, the founders of Zepto chose to put all their eggs in the atoms’ business.

Amazed by the power of ondemand apps that curate customer convenience, Kaivalya and his cofounder were inspired to take on the 10minute delivery promise and ensure that the Indian household can now receive groceries within 10 minutes from shoptodoorstep.

His conversation with our students expanded on the best practices in the ondemand apps business. While elaborating on his journey with building Zepto, Kaivalya reveals what it takes to take risks, diversify and achieve what you didn’t think you could.
