"A major part of the journey that lies ahead will be driven by innovation in product and technology. Ankit embodies the best of Zepto’s culture, demonstrating his ability time and time again to operate with incredible ownership, rigour, ambition, and deep customer centricity. 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.”
