Zepto, which has raised another $350 million in new funding from prominent domestic investors, aims to become a company with a majority Indian ownership, chief executive Aadit Palicha said. Zepto is not an “Amazon or Walmart” but an Indian firm with plans to go public on Indian bourses, Palicha said in an interview with ET. He said the four-year old firm is not hurting kiranas or mom-and-pop stores — an allegation that Zepto and other quick-commerce firms are facing — and is a “net-job creator to the country’s consumption story". Founded by Stanford University dropouts Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra, Zepto has emerged as one of the fastest-growing consumer internet firms in India, fuelled by $1.4 billion that it raised in the last five-six months.

Zepto has raised an additional $350 million in funding from Indian high net-worth individuals (HNIs), family offices, and leading financial institutions. The fundraise was led by Motilal Oswal’s private wealth division, the company said in a statement. This adds to the $1 billion war chest Zepto has amassed over the past few months to take on rivals like Zomato’s Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart and others. ET first reported in October about Zepto looking to onboard local investors with a mandate of raising $150 million. Subsequently, we reported on November 15 that the round had doubled in size as the quick commerce firm sought to boost local shareholding and investor interest in the sector was at a peak.
