In FY26, Zepto reported operating revenue of Rs 22,623.58 crore and other income of Rs 504.79 crore, against total expenditure of Rs 29,026.75 crore. After exceptional items, the quick-commerce company posted a net loss of Rs 5,905.19 crore. The company is set to launch an IPO with a fresh issue of up to Rs 8,010 crore and an offer for sale of 11.35 crore shares. If it lists, Zepto will be India’s first pure-play quick commerce firm on the bourses. Inc42 reports that Zepto restructured ahead of the IPO, moving from a retailer-licence model to a marketplace structure via Zepto Marketplace Pvt Ltd. The company argues losses stem from new store launches, not mature stores. In contrast, rival Blinkit (owned by Eternal) posted an adjusted EBITDA profit of Rs 37 crore in the March quarter of FY26, raising questions about Zepto’s path to profitability.
