Mehta was replaced as CEO of Instacart in July 2021 following a messy dispute with some of the company's largest investors.

The app started gaining momentum and Mehta put out ads on Craigslist for shoppers to do the grocery runs for him.
Whole Foods reportedly broke the news to Mehta and a fellow Instacart executive on an early morning call.
In a sworn affidavit, Mehta denies that he misappropriated any trade secrets and says he's since cut ties with Singh.
