Summary

  • Zepto said it is investigating Vir Das’s claim that an Apple Watch ordered through the app arrived as a fake, after the actor-comedian’s post drew wide attention online.
  • Rs 50,000 was charged for the watch, Das said, adding he needed it urgently for a shoot and was told by a customer agent that nothing could be done.
  • Zepto said it has scheduled a reverse pickup as part of its standard process and will examine the case with its brand partners before deciding further action.
  • The company also said high-value deliveries require an OTP and customers should share it only after checking that the package is sealed and in good condition.
