Zepto plans a ₹1,000 crore domestic-led pre-IPO round at a $4.5 billion valuation, while delaying its planned listing. The quick-commerce firm reported FY26 revenue of ₹22,624 crore, operated 1,139 stores and processed 17.5 lakh daily orders.

Why this matters

Zepto's planned raise follows recent signals that the company paused its IPO and sought ₹1,000 crore in pre-IPO funding, including reports of a lower valuation for the round.
