Abhinav Raghuvanshi is the technical engineer behind Zepto’s lightning‑fast delivery promise. A seasoned data professional and IIT‑Delhi alumnus, he’s led the transformation of Zepto’s data platform from monolithic warehouses to a modern hybrid lakehouse. This shift is powered by S3, Kafka, Databricks, and ClickHouse, enabling real-time insights across operations.

At AIM’s Data Engineering Summit 2025, Raghuvanshi revealed how ClickHouse has become Zepto’s “real‑time nerve centre”, with critical metrics like inventory levels, delivery logistics, and fridge temperatures refreshing in milliseconds, fueling precision decisions like instant restocking.

This architecture now supports over 400 analysts with low‑code, SQL‑friendly tools, empowering business teams to generate insights independently. Before his tenure at Zepto, Raghuvanshi built data infrastructure at Uber, Pickrr, and UnitedHealth Group, refining his ability to scale platform performance and reliability.

His work not only underpins Zepto’s 10-minute delivery model but also helps drive the quick-commerce giant’s ongoing AI-enabled evolution, making rapid, data-driven action a core business capability.
