With a EV-driver fleet of over 1,500, both the startups are enabling more than 20,000 deliveries per day in Delhi and is also going to expand to Bengaluru and Mumbai in the next four months.

“As we grow, our focus will be towards continuous reduction of carbon footprints across our operations”, said Vinay Dahani, Chief Operating Officer, Zepto.
