Zepto’s $4.5B pre-IPO valuation sits on top of $3.6B of preferred capital, so common stock is only a thin residual.

Last updated: August 4, 2026

Bull (20%)+100%

Revenue hits $7.5B; IPO completes and category leadership drives forward multiple to 1.5x, implying $11.2B exit. After 20% dilution, pre-dilution upside of 148% is capped at 100% for pre-IPO stage.

Base (35%)+46%

Revenue reaches $7.5B but competition keeps multiple at 1.0x forward, a $7.5B exit. After 20% dilution, common upside is ~46%.

Bear (45%)-100%

Funding stays scarce, losses force a distressed exit below $3.6B; with $3.6B of preferred ahead, common equity is wiped out.
