Zepto is discussing anchor allocations for an IPO at an implied $3 billion post-money valuation, sharply below its prior $7 billion private valuation. The quick-commerce firm may raise ₹5,000 crore primarily to fund expansion and strengthen its balance sheet.

Why this matters

Zepto's anchor-allocation discussions follow reports of a ₹10,000–11,000 crore IPO and a ~$3 billion target after investor pushback. A separate Delhi HC ruling also restrained Zepto Finance's use of the Zepto trademark.
