Quick commerce company Zepto has confidentially filed preliminary papers with India's market regulator, SEBI, for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) expected in mid-2026. The company aims to raise approximately Rs 11,000 crore, potentially making it the youngest venture-backed firm to go public in India. This move will bring all major quick commerce players, including Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart, into the public market, intensifying competition and scrutiny over sector economics, cash burn, and profitability timelines.
