Zepto co-founder asks student's CV directly after job application goes viral

Yash Acharya recently took to X, to share an interesting story of how an online grocery company's billionaire co-founder reached out to him directly for his CV.

Acharya had applied for the role of a product design intern to work at the online grocery delivery platform. However, he revealed that he received an e-mail with the subject line saying, "You’d be a great fit for this Delivery Boy (Mumbai) role at Zepto!"

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Par maine to product designer ke liye apply kiya tha🙄 <a href="https://t.co/R1yBJHd8LB">pic.twitter.com/R1yBJHd8LB</a></p>&mdash; yash (@yashachaarya) <a href="https://twitter.com/yashachaarya/status/1691821629104676918?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 16, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In the caption, he hilariously wrote, “Par maine to product designer ke liye apply kiya tha (But I had applied for the role of a product designer)."

His post garnered the attention of several netizens, including the company's co-founder and CTO Kaivalya Vohra, who then reached out to the boy directly and asked him to share his work portfolio.

"Hey, saw your tweet. Could you send over a resume/portfolio?" Vohra wrote. The recent post has already garnered over 4,000 views on the platform.

Zepto was started in 2021 at the peak of the pandemic by Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra and became one of the highest-funded quick-commerce startups in the country, giving intense competition to Swiggy Instamart and Zomato-owned Blinkit.
