How to Apply for Zepto Nova - Food Safety Innovation Challenge

Applications are evaluated in three stages. First, the initial shortlisting phase: a panel from Zepto assesses each application on five criteria — Accuracy & Reliability in reducing human error, Innovation & Practical Applicability, Scalability across India's quick commerce ecosystem, Ease of Integration with existing warehouse systems, and Impact on Food Safety Compliance & Risk Reduction. Shortlisted startups are then invited to a Demo Day, where they present their solution in person at Zepto's office. During this phase, participants may also get access to Zepto's delivery hubs and mother hubs to test their solution in a real-world environment. Finally, winners are selected based on the Demo Day presentations and evaluations.
