Quick commerce startup Zepto is aiming high. The company, known for its lightning-fast 10-minute delivery service, is on track to become fully Indian-owned by 2026 and achieve profitability in the next financial year.
A recent $350 million funding round from domestic investors has fueled Zepto's growth ambitions. With this significant investment, the company is well-positioned to expand its operations, improve its delivery model, and enhance customer experience.
Zepto's CEO, Aadit Palicha, has expressed confidence in the company's potential for an IPO in 2025. He believes that the company's unique business model and strong growth prospects make it an attractive investment opportunity.
Despite concerns about the impact of quick commerce on traditional kirana stores, Palicha maintains that the industry is creating jobs and economic value. He emphasizes that Zepto's model has led to the creation of lakhs of jobs and has boosted wages for delivery personnel.
To address concerns about food quality and safety, Zepto is working closely with regulatory authorities to ensure that its products meet the highest standards. The company is also investing in technology to improve its delivery process and reduce the risk of errors.
As Zepto continues to grow, it faces competition from other quick commerce players such as Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart. However, Palicha believes that the market is large enough for multiple players to coexist.
With its focus on innovation, customer satisfaction, and Indian ownership, Zepto is well-positioned to become a major player in the Indian e-commerce market.
