India’s fastest-growing Q-commerce startup isn’t chasing the hype anymore—it’s building for longevity.
While competitors burn capital for market share, Zepto is shifting gears:
$450–500M fresh funding in motion (post $1.35B in last 12 months)
Targeting a $7B valuation
75%+ dark stores are EBITDA-positive
Focus on unit economics, SKU premiumization, and platform monetization
Preparing for a potential IPO by late 2025
This isn’t a retreat—it’s refinement.
Zepto is stabilizing operations, not slowing down.
And it may be the only Q-commerce player in India with a credible path to profitability and public markets.
