Zepto CEO and co-founder Aadit Palicha stated on Wednesday that he supports work-life balance and even advises his rivals to do the same.
Palicha's remarks coincide with a widely shared post on the American social media site Reddit accusing the fast e-commerce company of having a terrible workplace culture.
"I don't oppose work-life balance. In fact, I suggest it to all of our rivals :),' the 22-year-old CEO wrote in a post on the social media site X.
An anonymous Reddit poster claimed that Zepto's workplace was "toxic," with staff members putting in long 14-hour shifts. It asserted that the business put pressure on workers by having high standards.
Additionally, was stated that because Palicha finds it difficult to get up early, he begins his day at 2:00 pm, which results in meetings being arranged at 2:00 am. In order to cut expenses, Zepto employs junior employees, the message added, and it also alluded to a sizable round of layoffs in March.
