Hey I am on Medialย โ€ขย 2m

Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra didnโ€™t beat the oddsโ€”they played with a loaded deck. Born into wealth in Dubai, educated at elite IB schools, and admitted to Stanford, they had every privilege imaginable. They dropped out not because they had to, but because they could. Failure wasnโ€™t a threatโ€”it was a lesson cushioned by safety nets. Before Zepto, they had already built and shut down startups like GoPool and KiranaKart, with support from Y Combinator. When they launched Zepto in 2021, they tapped into pandemic panic, raised millions in months, and sold the fantasy of โ€œgritty dropout founders.โ€ Reality? "Their connections opened VC doors no average Indian teenager could dream of." They built a billion-dollar company on the backs of overworked employees while glorifying 100-hour workweeks. Call it disruption, but donโ€™t call it self-made. Zepto wasnโ€™t built in a garageโ€”it was built in a bubble, fueled by privilege, access, and the luxury to fail upward.
