Indian investors are hungering for e-commerce and food delivery stocks.
Meesho, a platform offering affordable and unbranded retail products, became India’s best-performing major IPO of 2025 after its debut last week. And grocery delivery firm Zepto is planning to file for a $500 million IPO, Bloomberg reported.
The company promises 10-minute delivery times, part of a crowded Indian quick-commerce market racing to ship goods at hyperspeed. Both developments reflect the “divergent ways in which an increasingly unequal India shops online,” Nikkei wrote: High-income customers gravitate toward the quick-commerce options, while firms like Meesho believe lower-income Indians are willing to wait to receive goods at a lower price.
