Zepto's Chief Brand Officer
“First, the fact that Gen Zs are doing fake shaadis. We felt this is a cultural wave we must ride. Second, we wanted to host the first wedding of the season, before November 2, in order to build the memory structure. We want to build an association that shaadi equals Zepto and that if you want ethnic wear, footwear, mithai, skincare, shagun envelopes… anything related to weddings.. we are there to give it in 10 minutes.”

“We are going to keep talking about shaadi, perhaps do films, so that the association is strengthened.”
