Apoorva Mehta went from being an engineer at Amazon to becoming a billionaire at age 37, thanks to his innovative business idea. In 2012, Mehta founded Instacart, a platform for grocery delivery that now serves over 7.7 million customers and partners with more than 80,000 retailers in the US. The inspiration for Instacart came to Mehta when he realized that he could buy everything online except groceries. The company recently went public with an IPO valuation of $9.9 billion.
