https://layoffcheck.com/companies/zepto Layoff and WARN notices reported for Zepto. en-us https://layoffcheck.com/companies/zepto#2025-10 https://layoffcheck.com/companies/zepto#2025-10-231 Sat, 18 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT Quick-commerce startup Zepto cut around 300 employees in October 2025, about 5% of its workforce, as part of a cost-efficiency drive focused on automating work previously done by staff. The Mumbai-based company had built in-house software to handle invoice processing, replenishment, and real estate management, reducing the need for off-roll personnel. CEO Aadit Palicha told employees at an October 17 all-hands that the company would "obsess over costs" and be "very frugal," trimming cloud and software spending and limiting new hires. Affected workers were moved to third-party service providers rather than let go outright. Operations, category management, finance, and customer support were among the hardest-hit teams. The cuts came despite Zepto having recently raised $450 million at a $7 billion valuation, as the company faces intensifying competition from Blinkit, Instamart, Amazon, and Flipkart Minutes. https://layoffcheck.com/companies/zepto#2022-07 https://layoffcheck.com/companies/zepto#2022-07-3406 Sat, 02 Jul 2022 12:00:00 GMT Zepto reported a workforce reduction in Brisbane in July 2, 2022.
