About Zepto

Zepto has expanded its presence across many cities in India and generated Revenue from operations of ₹226,235.84 million in Fiscal 2026, though it has incurred cumulative losses since inception.

    MD

Strengths

As stated in the offer document

  • Densification flywheel that lowers delivery costs and deepens user value proposition

    The company's densification strategy creates a self-reinforcing effect where higher order volumes enable more dark stores, reducing average distance per order from 2.05 km in Fiscal 2024 to 1.83 km in March 2026, ultimately driving lower delivery costs and better user value.

  • Data flywheel that enhances user experience through personalization

    The company captures granular search behavior and purchase signals to improve product assortment, expanding from 12,312 SKUs in Fiscal 2024 to 49,602 SKUs in March 2026, driving stronger user engagement and repeat purchases.

  • Focus on operational excellence to drive cost improvements

    The company has built in-house processes including WMS, workforce management platform, and automation systems like 'Put to Light' sorting stations and linear sorters, supported by Lean and Six Sigma certified professionals in the supply chain team.

  • Technology-native culture with comprehensive in-house infrastructure

    The company developed an in-house technology stack including personalized user journey systems, supply chain intelligence, workforce management platform, last-mile delivery platform, and brand insights advertising engine, all purpose-built for quick commerce.

  • Scalable cost structure with improving unit economics

    The company achieved visible improvements in unit economics with Fixed Cost per Order decreasing from ₹80.72 to ₹52.34, Digital Marketing Cost per Order improving from ₹10.82 to ₹1.01, and Total Cost per Order reducing by ₹28.90 between June 2023 and March 2026.

  • Founder-led company with experienced management team

    The company is driven by founders Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra, supported by a management team with experience across e-commerce, manufacturing, and retail, achieving the fastest growth among scaled quick commerce platforms with 119.50% CAGR in order volume between Fiscal 2024-2026.

Risk factors

As stated in the offer document

  • Significant Operating Losses and Negative Cash Flows

    The company has incurred substantial losses since inception, with restated losses of ₹59,051.92 million, ₹46,997.14 million and ₹12,147.94 million in Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The company also experienced negative cash flows from operating activities of ₹34,624.42 million, ₹46,248.34 million and ₹10,978.80 million for the same periods.

  • Critical Dependence on User Acquisition and Retention

    The company's growth depends on its ability to retain and acquire users cost-effectively, with user retention rates showing some decline in recent cohorts. Advertisement expenses as a percentage of revenue from operations were 6.14%, 10.68% and 6.81% for Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, indicating significant marketing investment required.

  • Dependence on Partner Network for Business Operations

    The company's success relies heavily on acquiring and retaining Brand Partners, Merchant Partners and Farmer Partner Network to maintain product assortment and advertising revenue. The company operates on non-exclusive arrangements with partners, creating risk of partner attrition to competitors.

  • Critical Reliance on Delivery Partner Network

    The company depends on a large network of Delivery Partners for order fulfillment, with delivery and handling expenses representing 13.47%, 14.39% and 13.04% of revenue from operations for Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024. The company has experienced delivery partner strikes and disruptions that could impact operations.

  • Dark Store Network Operational Risks

    The company's operations depend critically on dark stores, with 1,139 stores as of March 31, 2026. The company faces risks from lease terminations, regulatory compliance issues, and dependence on Growth Partners who operate 36.61% of dark stores, potentially leading to operational inconsistencies.

  • Intense Competition and Low Barriers to Entry

    The company faces significant competition in the quick commerce industry with low barriers to entry and low switching costs for customers. The company's order volume growth rate of 119.50% CAGR may not be sustainable as competition intensifies and competitors may offer better terms or innovative features.

  • Limited Operating History and Business Model Transition

    The company started operations in July 2021 and has limited experience operating at current scale and complexity. The company transitioned to a marketplace model with limited historical basis for making judgments about future operating results.
