Quick-commerce startup Zepto has taken a decisive step toward an initial public offering by converting itself into a public limited company. The firm changed its registered name from “Zepto Private Limited” to “Zepto Limited” after shareholders approved the move via a special resolution. As part of IPO preparations, Zepto plans to file its draft prospectus before mid-December and aims for a public listing by mid-2026.

This move comes on the back of a robust funding history and strong growth. Backed by marquee investors, Zepto is valued at around USD 7 billion and raised substantial capital in recent rounds. The company has over 900 dark stores, and despite past high cash burn, it is now working to improve capital efficiency and operating metrics.

By formalising its public-company status and restructuring ahead of listing, Zepto is positioning itself to tap public markets and scale its quick-commerce operations across India. The conversion symbolises more than just a name change — it reflects ambition for transparency, long-term growth, and readiness for the rigours of public listing.
