The Zepto IPO has gotten the approval from SEBI for a $1.3 billion listing. This is a deal worth $7 billion for the quick commerce company. The company is planning to list in June 2026, and it would be one of the most sought-after IPOs from India’s startup world this year.
Zepto’s IPO is crucial for people who order things like milk, bread and vegetables in under 10 minutes. Zepto, started in 2020 as a store during the pandemic, has grown into a big company with hundreds of stores across major cities. Getting the approval from SEBI after filing papers in December 2025 means Zepto is one step closer to listing by the end of June 2026. This will make Zepto one of the fastest Indian startups to go public.
The Zepto IPO is expected to be an issue of around $1.3 billion to help the company grow. A small part of it will be sold by investors. Zepto was last valued at $7 billion after a $450 million investment in 2025. Big banks like Morgan Stanley, Axis Capital, HSBC, Goldman Sachs and others are working with Zepto. This shows that the street is taking the Zepto IPO seriously.
What makes the Zepto IPO special for people in India? With capital, Zepto can offer competitive prices and faster deliveries. This could mean more stores, wider coverage and better prices for customers. For the thousands of delivery partners who ride bikes and scooters, it could mean more work and growth in the gig economy. Young employees who hold shares are excited. A successful listing could turn their paper wealth into money.
For investors, this is a test of how they want to be a part of India’s quick-commerce story. Zepto has been talking to investors, telling them about its plan for growth. The company had around $600-700 million in cash as of March 2026, which gives it some breathing room. Its revenue was around ₹9,669 crore in the year, up 129% from the year. The company is still in losses because the market is very competitive.
Experts who watch the market closely say that the timing of the IPO is not perfect. Stock prices of companies have gone down 30-35% in months, and Zepto may have to accept a lower valuation. Zepto is moving forward with purpose and has plans to file an updated prospectus with numbers in May and then seek final approval from SEBI.

This also shows how quick commerce has become a part of life, especially for busy families and working professionals who rely on the 10-minute promise.
Nothing is final until the listing. The market conditions, pricing and how investors react will decide how the Zepto IPO does. But one thing is clear: the momentum is there. Everyone, from investors to delivery riders and small store owners, has a stake in how this Zepto IPO plays out.
We will keep tracking every update from the filing to the listing date. For now, the message is: India’s quick-commerce race is going to the stock market, and Zepto is leading the way with SEBI’s approval.
