Zepto in talks for $250 Mn secondary round Quick commerce and foodtech firm Zepto is in talks for a $250 million secondary round, allowing existing stockholders to offload equity. The move aims to increase Indian investor ownership ahead of Zepto's planned IPO later this year. Bloomberg, which reported the development first, said that the private equity arms of Motilal Oswal Financial and Edelweiss Financial Services are in discussions to acquire shares in this secondary sale. The transactions are expected to take place at a valuation of over $5 billion. It’s worth noting that Zepto raised its last round worth $350 million at the same valuation ($5 billion), where Motilal Oswal was the lead investor. In 2024, the Aadit Palicha-led company raised $1.35 billion, bringing its total funding to $1.85 billion since its inception. Zepto delivers over 25,000 products across various categories within 10 minutes via its extensive network of dark stores. The firm operates more than 550 dark stores and processes upwards of 700,000 orders daily. Through a separate app, Zepto Cafe, it’s also one of the leading 10-minute food delivery service providers. As per TheKredible, Zepto’s revenue from operations surged 2.2X to Rs 4,454 crore in FY24 from Rs 2,026 crore in FY23. Meanwhile, the company managed to reduce its losses marginally by 2% during the same period. Earlier this year, Zepto shifted its domicile from Singapore to India, a move that will expedite the process of listing on the Indian stock exchange.
