Zepto Approves IPO Plan for 2026
Zepto is a fast-growing company that delivers groceries and other items quickly.
It has been very successful and has raised a lot of money from investors.
The company's owners have recently agreed to change Zepto from a private company to a public one.
This means that anyone can buy a piece of the company by purchasing shares.
Zepto plans to file the necessary papers with the market regulator this month and hopes to start selling shares to the public by June 2026.
The company has over 900 special stores and is growing quickly, with sales of about $3 billion.
It is also trying to use its money wisely while growing.
Zepto is expected to raise about $500 million through the IPO.
The company has been preparing for this listing for several months and has shifted its holding structure back to India from Singapore, a move several other start-ups have made ahead of going public.
Zepto's shareholders approved the plan to convert the company from private to public.
The company plans to file draft papers with SEBI this month and launch the IPO by June 2026.
Zepto has raised $1.8 billion since its inception in July 2021 and is currently valued at $7 billion.
As of September 2025, Zepto had over 900 dark stores, burned ₹1,000-₹1,100 crore in cash, and achieved gross sales of $3 billion.
The company is growing at a rate of 20-25% every quarter and aims to show capital efficiency to investors.
