Zepto has raised so far, a total funding of $361M. Zepto incurred a total loss of Indian Rupees Rs.390.4 crore in financial year 2022.Considering that Blinkit (similar to Zepto), has majorly shut down services in areas where it cannot deliver groceries in under 10 minutes, do we think that Zepto will really disrupt the grocery delivery space and eventually make profits or is it going to be yet another startup that will indefinitely bleed investor's money and finally shutdown ?</blockquote>
