Zepto's Meat Business CEO Resigns Amid Executive Departures
A fast grocery delivery company called Zepto is having many important people leave their jobs.
The head of their meat company, named Chandan Rungta, has also quit.
This is happening even though their meat brand, Relish, is making a lot of money each month.
Other leaders in areas like planning and computers have also left.
The company says these changes are part of new directions, but some people leaving might also be because they got paid for their stock options.
Recently, Zepto raised a lot of money and is now worth more than before.
The company's president will now oversee the meat business and another part called Zepto Cafe.
Chandan Rungta has resigned as the CEO of Zepto's meat business, Relish.
Zepto has confirmed multiple senior leadership exits, including VPs of strategy and IT, and the CXO of Zepto Cafe.
Zepto's private-label meat brand, Relish, generates ₹50-60 crore in monthly revenue and is projected to exceed ₹500 crore annually.
The company recently raised $450 million, valuing it at $7 billion, and is competing in India's rapid grocery delivery market.
Zepto attributes departures to 'conscious directional changes,' while some exits coincide with ESOP vesting periods.
