Talent knows no age, creed, color, or race. If a person is blessed with it, there is no stopping them. Yes, you read that right. He is one of India’s youngest CEOs, with a net worth that is almost unimaginable for someone whose journey began only in 2021.
Aadit Palicha was born in 2001 in Mumbai. He had planned to pursue Computer Science at Stanford University after high school. However, when the pandemic hit in 2020 and courses were shifted online, Aadit decided to leave the programme.
Just a year later, he launched the quick commerce platform Zepto in July 2021. The online grocery delivery service quickly became a hit, reaching a valuation of Rs 7,400 crore (about $900 million) within its first year. Today, the company is valued at over Rs 41,000 crore ($5 billion).
The stupendous growth of his company earned him a spot on the Hurun Rich List 2022. He has a net worth of Rs 4300 crore, while his co-founder, Kaivalya Vohra—also a Stanford dropout—holds a net worth of Rs 3,600 crore. At the age of 20, Aadit had a net worth of Rs 1200 crore.
Aadit’s entrepreneur journey began at the age of 17 with his first venture GoPool but he did not get success. He also started KiranaKart with his partner Kaivalya but it lasted for 10 months.
He founded Zepto in 2021 and the online delivery platform swiftly gained traction and attracted investments worth millions. Within a quick period of time, the company’s valuation jumped from $500 millions in five months to $900 millions.
