Aadit Palicha, the dynamic 22-year-old CEO and co-founder of Zepto, underscored the importance of passion over financial pursuit as the secret to the company's success, valued at USD 5 billion. Speaking at the NDTV World Summit, Palicha shared that their drive stems from the excitement about the platform they are building, rather than wealth accumulation.

The young entrepreneur, who notably dropped out of Stanford University, contrasted India's startup landscape with more developed markets like Shanghai.
