What they do

Zepto is an Indian quick-commerce platform delivering thousands of products in minutes across 60+ cities

What happened

It partnered with Databricks to build an AI agent framework for customer support, and with VOKKA for festive fragrance gift sets

Why it matters

The AI system now processes over 100,000 tickets daily, and VOKKA's business on Zepto grew multifold during Raksha Bandhan

The details
