Zepto IPO plans stall as unlisted shares fall over 50% from peak
Zepto has reportedly paused its IPO plans amid a steep correction in unlisted shares, concerns over quarterly cash burn and a potential valuation reset. The quick-commerce firm may instead seek a ₹1,000 crore pre-IPO placement after reportedly reducing its IPO target.
Zepto has reportedly paused IPO plans amid a sharp drop in unlisted-share prices and investor concerns over cash burn and profitability. The quick-commerce company may pursue a Rs 1,000 crore pre-IPO placement after cutting its targeted IPO size and valuation expectations.
Why this matters
The pause extends recent signals that Zepto was seeking ₹1,000 crore in pre-IPO funding at a $4–4.5 billion valuation while delaying its listing. The unlisted-share correction adds pressure for a valuation reset.
