After pandemic, the popularity of online grocery delivery became more & more apparent. As a consequence of social distancing restriction, consumer are turning to online grocery shopping, which is not only convenient but also safer.

Zepto Founders and Team

Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra, both 19 Year old childhood friend, created Zepto after leaving Stanford University renowned computer science departments to return home to India and start a business. The firm was founded in September last years & started operations in April this year.

Addit Palicha

Aadit Palicha is the CEO and Co founder of Kirana Kart and Zepto. After completing an IB diploma from (GEMS Education) in Mathematics and Computer Science, Palicha completed a bachelor degree in Computer Science from Stanford University. Aadit then completed Y Combinator Grade (W21) & started with PryvaSee as project lead. Aadit Palicha later founded GoPool, his first startups, when he was just 17 year old. He left the company in April 2020 and founded Kirana Kart and then Zepto.

Kaivalya Vohra

Kaivalya Vohra is the Co Founder and CTO of Kirana Kart & the Co Founder and CTO of Zepto. He also graduated in Computer Science from Stanford University and was also involved in Y Combinator, along with Aadit.

Zepto Shareholdings

Zepto is backed by nine investors. The most recent investors are Contrary and Glade Brook Capital Partners. The company is valued at Rs 4,200 crores $570 million, and has raised a total of Rs 1,200 crores $160 million.

Zepto Starting Story

Many of us have startups idea, but even the most creative struggle to see them through. Palicha & Vohra had enrolled at Stanford to pursue a Computer Science degree, but dropped out to pursue their business passion.

During the Covid outbreak, the concept for Zepto grew out of the limitation of their home. An increase in demand for delivery services meant that groceries & other necessities would arrive in a couple of days, creating a void for fast delivery. As a result, Zepto was created with all this information.

These teenagers were abruptly stopped, due to Covid regulation, detained in their Mumbai home after significant collaboration on many project, including a transportation app for children. Despite the fact that grocery delivery, which was considered important by local authorities, was still allowed in much of the country as the virus spread, the duo struggled to get their supplies as the disease spread.

While Zepto is in the spotlight, Palicha & Vohra first venture, Kirana Kart, did not receive the same acclaim. Zepto, on the other hand, is inspired by Kirana Kart. KiranaKart, as the name implies, was a supermarket delivery service. He had made arrangement with Kirana merchant to provide groceries in 45 minutes or less. Global Founder Capital, 2 AM Ventures, Contrary Capital & angel investor led a pre seed round of $730,000. At that time, Vohra & Palicha planned to make the first deliveries of 1.5 lakh at a cost of Rs 1.

Zepto Mission and Vision

As two singles living alone, the founder found it more difficult to get food, so they focused their app on grocery delivery. So while Kirana Kart, his first startup, tried to make grocery delivery easier for Kirana, Zepto aims to shorten delivery time.

Zepto future goals

In the future, Zepto intends to increase the number of dark store to increase the number of order. Once they start retaining customer, they want to starts charging convenience fees. Although Zepto may face serious dangers in the near future due to the fierce rivalry, it is amazing how two 19 year old boy jump up and shake the root of massive corporations like Big Basket or Blinkit among other. It could also announce its public listing in 2 or 3 years.

Zepto Challenges

Zepto has faced some challenge lately, and in one of the recent ones, there were instances of a founder and investors being wrong within the fast trading delivery startups. Ansh Nanda, an alleged co founder of the startups, said the other co founder a& nd Nexus Ventures forced him to give up his stake in the startups. This was brought forward by Nanda, who filed an FIR against Zepto co founder & Nexus Ventures partner Suvir Sujan. However, the co founder promptly responded to the same by approaching the Delhi High Court. Zepto is the third startups backed by Nexus and where one of the co founder has been named in an FIR. Yolo Bus & Acko were two other companies that dealt with the same thing before.

Zepto Success Story

Many of us have “startup ideas,” yet even the most inventive among us struggle to carry them through. Palicha and Vohra had both enrolled at Stanford to pursue a Computer Science degree but had dropped out to pursue their entrepreneurial interests instead.

Zepto Founders | The Brand Hopper

During the Covid-19 epidemic, the idea for Zepto sprang from the confines of their homes. Because of an increase in demand for delivery services, groceries and other needs would arrive in a couple of days, leaving a vacuum for speedy delivery. As a result, Zepto was born with all of this knowledge.

Because of Covid rules, these teens were unexpectedly held inside their Mumbai homes after considerable collaboration on various projects, including a ride-hailing commuting app for minors. Even while grocery delivery, which was deemed crucial by local authorities, was still authorised across most of the country as the virus spread, the founders struggled to collect their supplies as the infection spread.

While Zepto is the centre of attention, Palicha and Vohra’s previous endeavour, KiranaKart, was not as well received. KiranaKart, on the other hand, inspired Zepto. KiranaKart was, as the name suggests, a grocery delivery service. It has agreed with Kirana merchants to deliver groceries in 45 minutes or less. Global Founders Capital, 2 AM Ventures, Contrary Capital, and angel investors led a $730,000 pre-seed investment. Vohra and Palicha intended to make the first 1.5 lakh deliveries at a cost of Rs 1 crore at the time.

Business Model

Zepto distributes groceries in 10 minutes or less via a network of dark shops and mini-warehouses on up to 90% of orders. Aadit claims that their average delivery time is 8 minutes and 47 seconds to assure a faultless delivery experience. The Mumbai-based firm uses a hotspot strategy to cater mostly to digital transactions through a system of dark storefronts or retail distribution centres.

A dark store is a small neighbourhood business that consumers are unable to enter and must order online for package delivery. While the concept of dark shops is not new to the Indian market, Aadit feels it has yet to be fully explored. Zepto optimises its connection by using population, traffic dynamics, geography, road patterns, weather conditions, last-mile operational improvement, real estate pricing, and other geographic data and local intelligence. Furthermore, the startup’s dark warehouses and cool rooms are custom-designed to meet certain requirements such as ease of transit, allowing packers to fulfil orders as quickly as feasible.

Topography, population, road patterns, traffic dynamics, weather, last-mile supply availability, real estate values, and other geographic data are said to help Zepto optimise its network.

Zepto, a five-month-old startup, has raised $100 million in a Series C round led by Y Combinator’s Continuity Fund at a valuation of $570 million, a twofold increase from its previous valuation of $60 million just 45 days ago. The round’s new and old investors included Lachy Groom, Glade Brook, Global Founders Capital, Breyer Capital, Nexus, and Contrary Capital.

Growth and Revenue

Zepto is gaining traction in Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi-NCR, with Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and Kolkata expected to follow in the coming months. Its technical headquarters are in Bengaluru, but its operations are based in Mumbai. Zepto has hired senior executives from Dream11, Flipkart, Pharmeasy, Uber, and Pepperfry.

Zepto also has engineering, operations, marketing, and finance opportunities available. Palicha claims a month-over-month growth rate of 200 percent and a monthly retention rate of 78%.

Future Plans

Palicha, the co-founder, emphasized that no one in India has completely understood marketing. He went on to say that if you look at a few older organizations that are trying to implement this approach, you’ll notice that many of them are unfocused and lack the consistency to operate on a single model. They become involved in a variety of activities, which is the most serious problem in any significant corporation.

Express delivery is not a new concept; most existing e-grocers have tried it before, with variable results. Following the Covid-19 pandemic’s increased use of online groceries, these platforms have reintroduced same-day delivery to consumers, especially through the dark-store concept.

Marketing Strategy of Zepto

Zepto's marketing strategy has played a crucial role in growing its business to this extent. A lot of innovative steps have been taken by the company to support and boost its business growth. Zepto's target audience is generally young adults and the modern generation. Here is the detailed overview you must read.

The idea of online grocery delivery is not new. Startups like Dunzo and Blinkit are already providing these services. The fact that distinguishes Zepto from all its competitors is its 10-minute delivery of groceries and other products. You might have heard about Zomato Instant, which provides food delivery within 10 minutes, but Zepto is the first player in the grocery delivery segment to offer a 10-minute grocery delivery service.

The idea of 10-minute grocery delivery is unique, but it was not that easy to implement. To fulfill its promise to deliver groceries in the specified time, Zepto introduced the concept of the dark store model . The dark store is like a fulfillment center for Zepto; it is not accessible to the public but is efficient enough to fulfill orders rapidly.

Artificial intelligence is used by Zepto to pick, pack, and transport orders in leaps and bounds. Whenever any customer places an order, a person with a tablet is assigned to pick up and pack the order within 60 seconds. It means that at the time you make the payment, someone is already preparing your order for dispatch. The company claims that 8 minutes and 40 seconds is the average delivery time they have achieved.

Zepto operates its dark store delivery within a 3 km radius, and it doesn't penalize its delivery boy for late delivery. 10-minute delivery is the USP of Zepto, which helps them compete with highly funded quick commerce giants like Swiggy Instamart and Blinkit.

Discounts are a way to attract customers, but as a new player in the segment, offering huge discounts was not a sustainable option for Zepto. Hence, the 10-minute delivery strategy comes out to be a panacea for Zepto.

Zepto Ad - Groceries Delivered in 10 Minutes

There is not only one thing responsible for the success of Zepto, but an incredible advertising strategy has also played an important role in the success. L&K Saatchi and Saatchi is an advertising agency that was assigned to advertise Zepto and build a strong brand image in front of consumers. The main theme of all the ads is to emphasize the 10-minute delivery of Zepto.

Zepto's ads are attention-grabbing ads that suddenly capture the focus, and this is what every brand wants. When a boy suddenly wakes up and runs toward the door, it creates a question in the minds of viewers about why he is running. The twist and excitement of the ad make it capable of grabbing the attention of viewers.

If I try to summarize the above ad in a single sentence, then it is like this: From the time you wake up until the time you sleep, every essential product will get delivered to your doorstep within 10 minutes.

Each ad that was created is meant to make the consumer feel how Zepto is capable of changing their daily grocery shopping habit. Since advertising is the best way to market the product and build a strong brand image, Zepto has fully utilized the benefits of marketing.

Advertising was not only done on social media channels, but it also planted its hoardings in the streets of cities in which Zepto's services are operational.

Zepto Hoarding Advertising

In today's generation of technology and innovation, we cannot ignore the power of social media. There is a huge chance you'll find your target audience on the social media platform. Hence, every brand is focusing on social media marketing. Zepto is also not behind the race; it leverages the social platform to engage its audience through meme marketing.

For the recently released movie 'Avatar: The Way of Water,' Zepto created a meme to grab the consumer's attention by following the ongoing trend. It's just one example, but if you visit Zepto's social media page, you'll find plenty of such memes.

Zepto Meme Marketing | Avatar: The Way of Water

Meme marketing is a trend today because people often share memes with their loved ones. This will help the brand get some organic reach and, at the same time, promote the brand. Zepto knows the power of memes very well. That's why if you open their page on any platform like Facebook , Instagram , and Twitter , you'll find amazing memes.

Zepto's meme marketing strategy has gained a lot of positive feedback from customers. Along with meme marketing, they sometimes collaborate with famous social media influencers to make videos for them. This tactic helps to create a loyal fanbase and also helps the brand image flourish.

Players in the quick commerce industry like Dunzo, Swiggy Instamart, and Blinkit are well-funded and established. These big giants have already acquired a huge market share in the segment by offering huge discounts and other offers. So it was not easy for Zepto to acquire customers and retain them.

Discounts are not the only things that attract consumers. Consumers are always hungry for something new, and exactly here, Zepto played its game. Acquisition of customers and retaining customers are two different things. Other players in the segment have easily acquired customers but struggled to retain them.

Customers are used to switching platforms and ordering items from the app, where the discount is heavy. In the case of Zepto, it has given discounts and at the same time provided high-speed free delivery. It helps to enhance Zepto's retention rate significantly.

No other players in the segment were making that fast delivery. This eventually leads to an increase in Zepto's consumer base.

Zepto's referral program plays a crucial role in its successful marketing strategy. The program offers unique codes to its users for sharing, which incentivizes both existing and new users with rewards such as discounts. This helps in cost-effective customer acquisition and increases customer retention. The program's seamless integration with social media, multiple reward options, and gamification elements make it a dynamic and impactful tool for Zepto's growth and customer loyalty.

Beyond transactional benefits, Zepto's referral initiative is a brand-building powerhouse, fostering advocacy and community engagement. By creating a positive customer experience and utilizing word-of-mouth influence, the program stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to customer satisfaction and strategic marketing prowess.

Zepto Marketing Strategy - Featuring Usha Uthap, Kailash Kher, Shankar Mahadevan

A marketing campaign is an integral part of any brand's effort to increase its visibility and create brand awareness. The same is true for Zepto. In the IPL 2022, Zepto created and ran a marketing campaign that truly had a new approach.

Most of the time, we have faced the issue of time stretching in different places like airports, hospitals, and restaurants. Because we usually wait for a long time in these places, it became quite common for us, but Zepto addressed this issue and showcased it in its campaign in such a way that, at the same time, it also represented the 10-minute delivery promise of Zepto.

In this campaign, three famous singers—Shankar Mahadevan, Usha Uthup, and Kailash Kher—have given their incredible voices. Three ads have been created for this campaign with the voices of these three singers. They have stretched the time with their voices in such a way that it shows our habit of waiting. At the same time, Zepto implements its tagline of 10-minute delivery.

L&K Saatchi and Saatchi created this campaign very beautifully, and the whole marketing campaign turned out to be a huge success for Zepto.

Zepto Marketing Strategy - Jet-Set-Go

Zepto, one of India's pioneering unicorns, has launched its latest brand campaign with a significant collaboration featuring renowned cricketer Jasprit Bumrah as the brand ambassador. Developed by L&K Saatchi & Saatchi, the 'Groceries delivered at Bumrah Speed' campaign embodies speed, precision, consistency, and rigor. This initiative not only introduces Indian audiences to cutting-edge special effects but also promises an experience comparable to the grandeur of cinema.

The campaign's focal point will be on Disney+ Hotstar, other leading OTT platforms, Zepto's application, social media channels, and various digital platforms. Outdoor advertising will be prominently displayed across major cities where Zepto operates, ensuring widespread visibility and engagement.

Zepto Marketing Strategy - Bus Mein Seat Nahi Milega

Zepto's 'Nahi Milega' brand campaign underscores its commitment, emphasizing that while life may present unattainable challenges, unlimited free deliveries on Zepto are certain.

Zepto adopted an unconventional approach by introducing Uncle Ji, a character from Delhi, several weeks before unveiling their brand campaign. The intention was to disrupt social media with Uncle Ji's distinctive personality, straightforward expressions of reality, and the recurring catchphrase 'Nahi Milega' (won't be available).

Zepto said Uncle Ji's character achieved remarkable organic traction, accumulating 10 million impressions with a substantial 10% engagement rate across all social media platforms. Uncle Ji trended at #6 on Twitter and received endorsements from popular Twitter celebrities and Instagram meme pages, solidifying his status as a cultural icon in India.
