As Zepto celebrates its third anniversary, the company is taking significant strides in promoting inclusivity and diversity within its workforce. To mark this milestone, Zepto has launched a new campaign. The campaign highlights Zepto’s journey towards inclusivity. It comprises inspiring stories of women and differently-abled employees who have overcome various challenges and achieved success in their roles.
Zepto’s journey towards inclusivity: A journey of grit and opportunity
One of the campaign’s focal points is the story of Vishwanath. Vishwanath is a differently abled employee who has made remarkable progress within the company. He began his journey at Zepto Café in Bellandur, Bangalore, as a delivery partner. Despite the challenges due to his disability, his determination and dedication helped him rise to the position of team leader. Vishwanath is just one of over 100 differently-abled employees who are now an integral part of Zepto’s workforce.
Kaivalya Vohra, Co-founder of Zepto, praised Vishwanath’s perseverance and contribution to the company. He says, “Vishwanath’s story is one of grit and opportunity. He exemplifies strength in silence and is a joy to work with.”
Empowering women in leadership
The second film in Zepto’s campaign celebrates the achievements of its women employees. It is particularly about women who have risen to leadership positions despite facing numerous challenges. The company has made significant progress in creating a gender-balanced workforce. That is because more than 1,400 women are now part of its warehouse teams. Zepto proudly notes that more than 50% of its day shift personnel are women, a milestone that reflects the company’s commitment to gender diversity.

Furthermore, 10% of Zepto’s stores are now led by women pickers, showcasing the company’s dedication to empowering women at all levels of its operations. Vohra emphasised the importance of representation, stating, “1200 women are just the beginning. Since shooting this video, we have welcomed 200 more women to Zepto. To serve our diverse world, we need all voices represented. Every voice matters, and we are committed to increasing this number to match, if not exceed their counterparts!”
Zepto’s journey towards inclusivity: A commitment to a diverse and inclusive workforce
Zepto’s journey towards inclusivity doesn’t stop with gender diversity. The company is also committed to integrating differently abled individuals into its workforce.

Zepto’s campaign is more than just a celebration of its achievements; it is a testament to the company’s ongoing commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment.
