# 15 Cities Launched - Zepto Case Study
## The Challenge
A quick commerce startup wanted to expand to 15 tier-2 cities but had zero intel on which neighborhoods actually wanted 10-minute delivery. Were Indore residents ordering groceries at midnight? Would Chandigarh pay premium for instant delivery? Guessing wrong meant burning $500K+ per city on dark stores in dead zones.
## Our Solution
We mapped Zepto's exact delivery boundaries in all 15 target cities - down to the street level. Discovered that tier-2 city demand concentrated around 3-4 affluent pockets per city, not evenly distributed like metros. Found Jaipur's Vaishali Nagar ordered 6x more than city average. Identified 23 neighborhoods where Zepto hadn't launched yet but had 50K+ high-income residents within 2km radius.
## Key Results
- **Successfully launched in 15 cities**
- **Achieved profitability in 8/15 cities within 6 months**
- **Analyzed 200+ dark store locations**
- **Optimized product mix for each city**
- **$5M in first-year revenue from new cities**
