Quick commerce player Zepto is in final talks to raise $500 million from General Catalyst, Avenir, and others at a $7 billion valuation, signaling renewed investor confidence ahead of its IPO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s fast-growing quick commerce startup Zepto is set to raise $450\u2013500 million in a new funding round led by General Catalyst and Avenir Growth, with the company\u2019s valuation surging 40% to $7 billion, according to sources familiar with the deal. The round is expected to close within a month, with select public market-focused investors also likely to participate.<\/p>\n

This comes less than a year after Zepto raised $1.35 billion at a $5 billion valuation, underlining investor appetite for India\u2019s ultra-fast grocery delivery sector. The development is key for IPO-watchers, as Zepto is reportedly preparing for a public listing in the next 12\u201318 months.<\/p>\n

Domestic Ownership Drops but IPO Strategy Intact<\/h2>\n

As foreign institutional investors anchor the latest round, Zepto\u2019s Indian ownership will drop from 40% to 35%, reversing gains made through recent secondary deals where firms like Motilal Oswal and Calypond Capital acquired stakes.<\/p>\n

CEO Aadit Palicha remains focused on building domestic capital ahead of IPO, with Zepto confident it will be majority Indian-owned at the time of listing \u2014 a key factor for local market sentiment.<\/p>\n
