As of September 27, 2026, Zepto's most recent public IPO filing is the updated draft red herring prospectus (UDRHP) it submitted to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on June 8, 2026, seeking to raise about ₹8,010 crore (roughly $1 billion) through a fresh issue plus an offer for sale, according to Bloomberg, cross-confirmed by Moneycontrol, Groww, Fortune India, and Business Standard. Six weeks later, Bloomberg reported on July 17, 2026 that Zepto was facing a valuation far below what it wanted: foreign investors reportedly indicated interest near a $4.5 billion pre-money valuation and domestic institutional investors near $3 billion to $3.5 billion, versus the $7 billion valuation set in Zepto's October 2025 fundraise. By August 1, 2026, Bloomberg reported that CEO Aadit Palicha had told employees the IPO was on hold and that Zepto would instead list in roughly two to three more quarters, alongside a pre-IPO placement of more than ₹1,000 crore (about $100 million) from existing investors, with domestic mutual funds evaluating a round near $2.5 billion to $3 billion post-money, independently reported by Indian Startup News and Business Standard. No further SEBI filing has been reported since the June UDRHP.
Zepto filed an updated draft red herring prospectus (UDRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on June 8, 2026, seeking to raise about ₹8,010 crore, roughly $1 billion, through a combination of a fresh issue of shares and an offer for sale by existing shareholders, according to Bloomberg. Moneycontrol, Groww, Fortune India, and Business Standard independently reported the same filing and figures.
A UDRHP is a regulatory filing, not a completed listing. SEBI review, pricing, and a listing date are separate steps, and none of the verified reporting states that any of those steps has happened.
Investor interest came in well below Zepto's last valuation
On July 17, 2026, Bloomberg reported that Zepto was facing demand for its IPO shares at valuations sharply lower than the company had hoped. Foreign investors reportedly indicated interest near a $4.5 billion pre-money valuation, while domestic institutional investors were said to be looking closer to $3 billion to $3.5 billion.
Both figures sit well below the $7 billion valuation Zepto had set in an October 2025 fundraise, according to Bloomberg's reporting.
IPO paused for a private round, not cancelled
Bloomberg reported on August 1, 2026 that Zepto turned to private funding with its IPO plans on hold for now. CEO Aadit Palicha told employees the company would still list, in roughly the next two to three quarters, after the pause.
As part of that shift, Zepto agreed to a pre-IPO placement of more than ₹1,000 crore, about $100 million, from existing investors, and domestic mutual funds were evaluating that round at a post-money valuation near $2.5 billion to $3 billion, independently reported by Indian Startup News and Business Standard. No further SEBI filing has been reported since the June 2026 UDRHP.

Searches like 'When Will Zepto IPO? Filed in June, Paused for Private Funding' are research questions: what a filing or a company statement confirms, what has only been reported, and what is still unknown.
What counts as a listing step
For an IPO, the primary record is a registration statement filed with the securities regulator of the listing market, such as an S-1 or F-1 on SEC EDGAR for a US listing. Funding rounds, valuations and secondary-market prices are context, not listing steps.
Segmara role
Segmara takes reviewed pre-IPO allocation requests funded by Stripe USD credits from $25 ($1.00 starter credit); no allocation is guaranteed. It also publishes dated indicative reference marks across 140+ private companies. Nothing on this page is investment advice.

Bloomberg reported on July 17, 2026 that investor interest had cooled well below Zepto's prior valuation: foreign investors near $4.5 billion pre-money and domestic institutional investors near $3 billion to $3.5 billion, against the $7 billion valuation set in its October 2025 fundraise.
Bloomberg reported on August 1, 2026 that CEO Aadit Palicha told employees Zepto would list in roughly two to three quarters after pausing the IPO, and that Zepto agreed to a pre-IPO placement of more than ₹1,000 crore (about $100 million), with domestic mutual funds evaluating the round near $2.5 billion to $3 billion post-money, independently reported by Indian Startup News and Business Standard.
Risk notes
Rumor risk: unofficial dates, valuations, or funding details circulating on social media or forums are frequently wrong or outdated and should not be treated as confirmation of anything.
Illiquidity risk: any private-market interest, indicative marks, or pre-IPO share arrangements in a company that has not listed can be difficult to exit and may not reflect a tradable price.
Timing risk: a company can pause, restart, or abandon IPO preparation at any stage, including after a confidential or public filing, so no step before pricing guarantees a listing.

Has Zepto confirmed an IPO date?
No. Zepto filed an updated draft red herring prospectus with India's SEBI on June 8, 2026, but Bloomberg reported on August 1, 2026 that the IPO was paused; CEO Aadit Palicha told employees Zepto would list in roughly the next two to three quarters, not on a specific date.
What valuation is Zepto's IPO targeting now?
Reporting has moved lower through 2026. Bloomberg reported on July 17, 2026 that foreign investors indicated interest near $4.5 billion pre-money and domestic institutional investors near $3 billion to $3.5 billion, down from the $7 billion valuation set in Zepto's October 2025 fundraise; by August 1, 2026, Bloomberg reported domestic mutual funds were evaluating a pre-IPO round near $2.5 billion to $3 billion post-money.
Why did Zepto pause its IPO for private funding?
Bloomberg reported on August 1, 2026 that Zepto agreed to a pre-IPO placement of more than ₹1,000 crore (about $100 million) from existing investors while delaying the public listing by roughly two to three quarters, per CEO Aadit Palicha's comments to employees, independently reported by Indian Startup News and Business Standard.
Can I buy Zepto shares before the IPO?
Not through Segmara. Segmara is a research site; it does not sell, broker, or arrange purchases of Zepto shares, and any private-share offer you encounter should be verified independently before you rely on it.
