Zappfresh expands to MENA region with Dubai launch in Q2 2025 Online fresh fish and meat retailer ZappFresh has expanded its operations across India, the Middle East, and the MENA region. The Gurugram-based company is set to launch its operations in Dubai in the second quarter of 2025. The firm aims to strengthen its presence in western India and explore new markets. It recently broadened its footprint by acquiring Bonsaro, a Mumbai-based online meat and seafood delivery brand. According to a press release by ZappFresh, this expansion has been strategically planned and thoroughly researched as part of the company’s global growth strategy. Founded in 2015 by Deepanshu Manchanda, ZappFresh offers fresh meat, seafood, and ready-to-cook items through its app and website. The expansion has come at a time when Zappfresh is set to launch its initial public offering (IPO) in 2025. The firm filed a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) for an IPO on BSE SME in August last year. ZappFresh reported a 60% increase in its operating revenue to Rs 90.4 crore in FY24 from Rs 56.3 crore in FY23, while its net profit saw a 70% year-on-year (YoY) growth to Rs 4.7 crore in the last financial year. ZappFresh has raised approximately $14 million to date, including $4.3 million in funding from Ah! Ventures, HT Media, and others in November last year. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, SIDBI Venture Capital is the largest external stakeholder in the nine-year-old firm, followed by other investors.
