Mehta stepped down as CEO in August 2021 and relinquished his board position as part of the IPO proceedings. Instacart, which started as a Webvan clone, has grown to become the largest grocery-delivery business in the US, with revenue growing 31% to $1.5 billion in the first half of 2022.
Mehta started Instacart over a decade ago, getting into famed startup accelerator Y Combinator after he had missed the application deadline by two months and delivered a partner a six pack of beer to make up for it.
