Zepto IPO: Zepto, a big company in the quick commerce sector, is ready to launch its IPO. Zepto has received approval from its board of directors for an IPO of Rs 11,000 crore. This offer will be a mix of fresh equity issue and offer for sale. Zepto has submitted draft papers for the IPO with market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The company plans to debut in the stock market by next year.
Confidential route is becoming famous
With this, Zepto will become the first startup company to be listed in the Indian Stock Exchange. People with knowledge of the matter say that Zepto has submitted a pre-filed draft red herring prospectus with SEBI and the stock exchange through the confidential filing route. The company recently raised $450 million from its investors, taking its total funding to $2.3 billion.
There is a growing trend among companies, especially startups, to submit DRHP with SEBI in a confidential manner for launching IPO. This gives an opportunity to submit important information related to the company to SEBI in the initial phase without making it public. DRHP is made public after receiving feedback from SEBI and completion of preparations at its level. This confidential method is becoming popular among high-growth startups preparing for a big IPO.
Many more companies are in the queue to launch IPO
If the listing goes through, Zepto will join other listed quick-commerce companies Zomato (via Blinkit) and Swiggy (via Instamart), both of which already trade on Indian exchanges. Zomato’s parent company Eternal was listed in 2021, while Swiggy debuted in November 2024.
Just a four-year old company, Zepto had received the green signal from its shareholders to launch an IPO in the general board meeting held on December 23. Earlier, startups like Ola Electric and Honsa Consumer took six-seven years to go public. Many big companies were launched in the year 2025. It is expected that next year will also be great for IPOs. Currently, many companies including PhonePe, Flipkart, ShadowFax, ShipRocket and CureFoods are in the queue to go public.
