Zepto IPO Details (Zepto 11000 crore IPO)
Zepto is aiming for its stock market listing (New IPO Listing) next year. This would make it one of the youngest startups to list on an Indian exchange. By choosing the confidential route, the company will face less public scrutiny in the initial stages and plans can be paused or changed if market sentiment changes. This approach is becoming popular recently for high-growth startups preparing for large IPOs. The company has submitted a pre-filed draft red herring prospectus under the confidential filing route. If successful, Zepto's listing will bring it into the fold of quick commerce players like Zomato and Swiggy, which are already traded on Indian exchanges. Zomato's parent Eternal listed in 2021, while Swiggy makes its market debut in November 2024.
The company has raised ₹16,000 crore in funding. Zepto, with a valuation of ₹7 billion, has raised approximately ₹1.8 billion (approximately ₹16,000 crore) in funding so far. In October 2025, the company raised ₹450 million (approximately ₹3,757.5 crore) in a round led by CalPERS. Zepto was founded by Stanford dropouts Adit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra and has achieved rapid growth based on a 10-minute grocery delivery model. By September 2025, Zepto had over 900 dark stores and recorded gross sales of approximately ₹3 billion (approximately ₹26,000 crore). The company's cash burn during this period ranged from ₹1,000 to ₹1,100 crore.
