An X (formerly Twitter) user who applied for a job at delivery platform Zepto, was left surprised when no less than Kaivalya Vohra, the Founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) himself reached out to the applicant, asking for his resume.

The interesting turn of events took place after Yash Acharya, the applicant, received an email from Zepto for a role completely different to the one he applied for.

What happened?

Around 8pm on Wednesday, Acharya posted a screenshot of the response he got from the company: “You'd be a great for this Delivery Boy (Mumbai) role at Zepto!”

“But my application was for the product manager role,” he captioned his post; it went viral instantly and within around two hours of being posted, Vohra reached out to Acharya, who put out a screenshot of the former's message, and wondered if this was for real.

"Hey

saw your tweet

could you send over a resume/portfolio?" asked the Zepto CTO.

Also, Vohra is now among Acharya's followers on X, with the latter's follower count increasing drastically over the last two days.

The Kota native, 22 (as reported by The Indian Express), is taking in his new-found fame on the social network. While it is known whether he has been called for an interview or not, he has shared links to news articles on his story.
