Zepto IPO Timeline
Last Updated: 21 January 2026 4:14 PM by 5paisa
Zepto has become synonymous with speed in the Indian quick‑commerce space since its inception in 2021 by founders Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra. Operating out of Bengaluru, the company introduced a 10-minute delivery model that launched it rapidly to prominence, scaling to over 250 dark stores across major metro areas. Zepto’s entrepreneurial story is compelling, its founders dropped out of college to chase a bold idea, and now they're expanding both service offerings and geographical footprint. Last year, the company raised significant capital in quick successive rounds, signalling investor faith in its growth trajectory and driving the overall quick-commerce market forward. Unique marketing strategies and a nimble operational style continue to keep Zepto at the forefront of the fast-delivery narrative.
Established in: 2021
Managing Director: Aadit Palicha
Strengths
1. Ultra fast ten minute delivery model at scale
2. Strong investor backing despite funding winter period
3. Rapid city expansion and high consumer adoption
4. Scalable dark store network improving unit economics
Weaknesses
1. Continued net losses and profitability challenges persist
2. Capital intensive operations require sustained funding support
3. Thin margins typical within quick commerce sector
4. Heavy reliance on urban high-density locations only
Opportunities
1. Expansion into electronics and higher-value categories segments
2. Quick commerce penetration remains low nationwide currently
3. Path towards EBITDA breakeven improving valuations outlook
4. Dark store profitability timelines steadily shortening now
Threats
1. Intense competition from Zomato and Swiggy groups
2. Regulatory scrutiny over gig economy labour practices
3. Rising delivery costs impacting unit profitability levels
4. Consumer demand sensitivity to pricing changes locally
1. Market leader in fast-growing quick commerce segment
2. Strong revenue growth with improving operating metrics
3. Backed by top-tier global institutional investors consortium
4. Significant headroom within underpenetrated addressable market space
India’s quick commerce industry is evolving rapidly, driven by urbanisation, rising disposable incomes and demand for convenience. Despite strong momentum, the sector has penetrated only a small portion of its estimated $45 billion addressable market. With increasing consumer habituation to instant delivery and improving unit economics, quick commerce offers long-term structural growth, especially for scaled players with efficient dark store networks like Zepto.
