Zepto, India’s second-largest quick commerce platform, is preparing for a bigger initial public offering (IPO). According to recent reports, the company is now considering raising between $800 million and $1 billion, a significant increase from its earlier plan of $450 million. This decision will depend on market conditions and investor interest.
Mix of Primary and Secondary Shares
The IPO is expected to include a combination of primary shares and secondary shares. Reports suggest that up to $400 million could come from an Offer for Sale (OFS), allowing some existing investors to sell their stakes. This move aims to attract a diverse group of investors while ensuring liquidity for current shareholders.
Zepto is collaborating with major financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Axis Capital, to guide its IPO process. These advisers are helping Zepto navigate the complex landscape of public listings, ensuring the company is well-prepared for its anticipated debut on the stock market in August 2025.
Engagement with Mutual Funds
Aadit Palicha, CEO of Zepto, has been actively meeting with top mutual fund companies to discuss the company’s growth plans and future potential. Zepto is targeting a remarkable $5.5 billion in gross sales for the first quarter of FY26, a milestone that could reinforce its position in the quick commerce industry and attract significant investor interest.
As a leader in the quick commerce space, Zepto has consistently delivered innovative solutions to meet the growing demand for fast delivery services in India. The company’s focus on operational efficiency and customer satisfaction has made it a strong competitor in the market, paving the way for its ambitious IPO plans.
