Zepto Files ₹110 Billion IPO via Confidential Route, Eyes 2026 Listing

Indian quick-commerce startup Zepto has filed for an initial public offering (IPO) worth ₹110 billion ($1.22 billion) through the confidential route, positioning itself for one of the most anticipated stock market debuts in 2026. The company confirmed the filing on Monday as competition intensifies in India’s rapidly expanding instant-delivery sector, where urban consumers increasingly opt for 10-minute delivery services across groceries, essentials, and electronics.

Founded in 2021, Zepto offers more than 45,000 products and competes with major rivals including Blinkit, Instamart, and Eternal’s quick-commerce arm. The Bengaluru-based company was valued at $7 billion during its latest funding round in October, when it raised $450 million from investors backing its aggressive expansion of dark-store networks and last-mile logistics capabilities.

Zepto’s decision to file confidentially with the Securities and Exchange Board of India allows it to keep regulatory and financial disclosures private until closer to the IPO launch. The move reflects rising investor confidence in India’s consumer-tech sector, even as industry players continue to burn capital in pursuit of market dominance.
