Zepto IPO likely deferred over pricing standoff with mutual funds: sources

Synopsis

Zepto IPO delay: People aware of the discussions told ET that the company has received a formal price indication from large institutional investors and is negotiating for a week or two before deciding whether to proceed. A deferment is on the table if the price gap does not close, though the company would prefer to list, they added.

Quick commerce firm Zepto is negotiating the pricing of its initial public offering (IPO) and may defer the share sale over the next few weeks, according to people in the know, as the valuation being offered is sharply below that of its last private funding round.The valuation indications it received from large institutional investors are in the $2.5-3 billion range, the people said. That misses the $3.5-4 billion valuation being discussed
