Why ? Zepto removes handling, surge fees from all orders weeks after $450 million funding boost.

Image
 Here’s a detailed article on the recent move by Zepto — the Indian quick-commerce startup — removing handling and surge fees just weeks after a large funding infusion. Background: Zepto’s funding boost Zepto recently secured a funding round of USD 450 million , which valued the company at about USD 7 billion .  According to the company, the funds leave it with “approximately USD 900 million of net cash in bank” and “well-capitalised for the future”. This injection comes at a time when the Indian “quick commerce” (ultra-fast grocery & essentials) market is heating up, and competition is intense. What’s changed: Fee removal & delivery minimum adjustments Under its new “All New Zepto Experience” initiative, Zepto has made the following changes: Removed handling fees (previously charged in addition to delivery) on all orders. Removed surge fees / rain-fees (i.e., extra charge when demand or weather conditions high) on all orders. Lowered the minimum order valu...

“What Terrible Sin Has Lenskart Committed?” — Shankar Sharma Defends IPO as Fair Compared to 50x Tech Listings

Image
  The phrase went viral on social media in recent days — when Shankar Sharma pointedly asked: “Phir aisa kya ghor paap kar raha Lenskart, bhaiya?” The backdrop: Lenskart is planning an IPO that values the company at around ₹70,000 crore (~US$7.8-8 billion) at a price band of ₹382–402 per share.  The valuation implies a P/E multiple over 200× and EV/Sales around 10×. Shankar Sharma, in turn, has publicly defended Lenskart’s share issue — not because he’s invested (he says he holds no shares) — but because he believes the backlash is unfair and hypocritical, given how earlier tech-linked IPOs commanded much higher multiples. Sharma’s Key Arguments Comparative valuation support He argues that Lenskart’s ~10× sales multiple is much more conservative than prior marquee listings: companies like Paytm, Nykaa, Zomato, CarTrade (and others) reportedly went public at 25-50× revenues despite large losses. On the campaign against Lenskart Sharma contends there is an “org...
