Meet Kaivalya Vohra

Raised in Dubai, Kaivalya Vohra dropped out of Stanford University’s coveted computer science programme at the age of 18 to start his own company. Along with his friend, Aadit Palicha, he started Kiranakart – an online platform that would deliver groceries within 45 minutes.

Kiranakart laid the groundwork for their instant grocery startup Zepto, which took off in 2021 during the COVID pandemic, when online delivery culture flourished.
Zepto’s rapid growth plans have come amid growing battles between quick commerce firms. Swiggy and Zomato, which owns Blinkit, are their main rivals. Tata group-backed BigBasket is also investing heavily to expand its offerings.

Vohra was also included in the Hurun India Rich List 2024 last year, with a net worth of ₹3,600 crore. So, the Zepto CTO's wealth has spiked by ₹800 in one year.
