The case comes as Zepto prepares for an IPO and continued dark-store expansion.
Delhi High Court barred Zepto Finance and Naman Finlease from using the Zepto mark in an interim trademark-infringement order. Zepto cited consumer confusion over alleged loan frauds while preparing an IPO to fund dark-store expansion, marketing and technology.
Why this matters
The trademark order adds a brand-protection issue to Zepto's recent IPO story, following signals on its ₹10,000–11,000 crore listing plans and investor demands for deeper valuation cuts.
