Zepto Faces Investor Pushback Over IPO Valuation Ahead of Planned Launch
Zepto, a quick commerce startup, plans to launch an IPO targeting around Rs 8,010 crore but faces resistance from top domestic mutual funds and insurers over its valuation. Initially valued at about $7 billion, Zepto has proposed lowering it to $4-5 billion, yet investors seek a further 30-40% reduction. The company is negotiating with asset managers and exploring support from high-net-worth individuals and family offices. The IPO structure and final valuation remain subject to investor feedback.
