Quick commerce major Zepto
has reportedly kicked off “active discussions” with domestic and global merchant bankers for a potential listing on Indian bourses by August 2025.
The company plans to raise around $450 Mn via a fresh issue of shares. Its initial public offering (IPO) will also comprise an offer for sale (OFS) component, Economic Times reported citing sources.
As per the report, the quick commerce startup has commenced talks with the likes of Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs for the IPO, which would be contingent on the company flipping back to India.
“The IPO timeline will depend on the flipping back process, but their aspiration is to list by next year…,” a source was quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, another source said that Zepto has been working very closely with Morgan Stanley, adding that the board has told the company to “test the market appetite for an IPO”.
This comes close on the heels of the quick commerce startup raising more than $1 Bn in funding in the past few months. In a span of just one year, the company’s valuation has soared to $5 Bn from $1.4 Bn in June last year.
