Zepto elevates Ankit Agarwal to Chief Product Officer
Online grocery delivery company Zepto announced the elevation of Ankit Agarwal from SVP of Product to the position of Chief Product Officer. With over 13 years of product experience in companies such as Flipkart and Delhivery, Agarwal joined Zepto in August 2022 to lead the entire fulfillment charter, spanning the entirety of the supply chain, last mile and finance tech. “We've been able to ship world-class technology over the last year; everything from building our entire last mile stack in-house to building and rolling out a warehouse management system in less than 6 months, and many other needle-moving initiatives,” said Kaivalya Vohra, Co-founder and CTO, Zepto.
“I'm confident that there is no one better suited in the country to lead the team on our journey to establish Zepto as the best product company in India,” he added. Agarwal has also been a founder in the past, with Orinko, trying to build India’s first-ever fruits and vegetables consumer brand. With the elevation, he will now own products end-to-end, from consumer to supply chain and last mile.
“We're not following trends; we're setting them. I'm excited to be part of that team that is revolutionizing commerce in India,” Agarwal added. Ending the unicorn drought in India amid the ongoing funding winter, online grocery company Zepto last month announced it had raised $200 million in its Series E round, valuing the company at $1.4 billion. 10-min online delivery platform Zepto raises $200 mn.
