Zepto IPO: Quick Commerce Leader Prepares for 2025 Listing

Zepto, the fast-growing quick commerce startup co-founded by Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra, is gearing up for its much-anticipated IPO in 2025. With a valuation of $5 billion and a robust operational framework, Zepto is making waves in India’s grocery delivery market.

The company currently operates over 600 dark stores and processes approximately 900,000 orders daily. Its average order value has climbed to ₹540–₹550, up from ₹450 earlier this year. Zepto has also achieved a subscriber base of over 6 million for its Zepto Pass membership plan and expanded its product catalog to 14,000 SKUs.

In a significant milestone, about 70% of Zepto’s dark stores are now EBITDA and free cash flow positive, with profitability timelines reducing from 23 months to just eight months. The capital expenditure per store has also dropped from ₹3.9 crore to ₹1.5 crore.

To strengthen its position before the IPO, Zepto plans to raise secondary capital to onboard more domestic investors. Currently, over 30% of Zepto is owned by domestic stakeholders, with the co-founders retaining a 20% ownership stake.
