Quick commerce company Zepto has delayed its IPO plans by a year and now aims to go public in 2026.
A media report says Zepto has pushed back its IPO plans, which were earlier set for 2025, to 2026. Although the company may file its draft papers soon, it’s unlikely to list this year.

The delay is due to a focus on improving financial performance before going public.
Zepto is working on cutting losses and becoming more profitable. It has shut down around 44 Zepto Cafes in smaller North Indian cities like Agra, Chandigarh, and Amritsar due to high operational costs, impacting over 400 employees.
Reports suggest Zepto was spending Rs 250–300 crore per month towards the end of last year. The company hasn’t yet responded to queries on the matter.
Earlier this year, Zepto took the first step towards its IPO by moving its base from Singapore back to India.
It was also reported that the company had started talks with several Indian and global investment banks, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, to prepare for an IPO worth $800 million to $1 billion.
