The late teens and early 20s are a phase of a person’s life where they are still mulling their career options and maybe still indecisive. In contrast, 21-year-old Aadit Palicha is the CEO of the online grocery store Zepto whose valuation crossed Rs 7,300 crore in 2022. But that is not the most striking part. The most striking part is that Zepto was introduced only in 2021 after the COVID-19 pandemic, which means the company went from absolute nil to multi-crore in a matter of months.
Aadit Palicha, who was born in 2001 in Mumbai, began his business career when he was just 17 years old. He founded a startup named GoPool, following which he went to Stanford University in the US to study computer engineering. However, he quit the programme in the middle to launch his firm. It was a big career risk he was taking but luck favoured him.
