Zepto – May Reduce IPO Size by 20% Amid Lower Valuation Expectations
The Economic Times
2 min read
Expert Analysis:
Zepto is reportedly considering reducing its IPO size by around 20%, with the fresh issue expected to be $650–700 million, down from earlier plans, after investor feedback during pre-IPO discussions.
Institutional investor bids are valuing the company at around $3.5–4 billion, significantly below its previous $7 billion private market valuation, reflecting greater emphasis on profitability and sustainable growth.
The company is reportedly resizing the issue rather than forcing a higher valuation, a move aimed at improving subscription demand and supporting stronger post-listing performance.
Despite the valuation reset, Zepto continues to benefit from strong growth in India's quick-commerce market and plans to use the IPO proceeds to expand its dark store network, strengthen technology infrastructure, and enhance supply chain capabilities.
The development reflects a broader shift in public markets, where investors are prioritising unit economics, cash flow visibility, and disciplined capital allocation over aggressive growth alone.
Zepto's decision to potentially reduce both its IPO size and valuation expectations demonstrates a pragmatic approach to current market conditions. While the listing may come at a lower valuation than earlier private rounds, realistic pricing could improve investor participation and provide a stronger foundation for the company's public market journey.
