The filing was made under the confidential route, which allows the company to engage with Sebi before public disclosure of financials and issue structure.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Zepto\u2019s entry into the market comes as domestic liquidity supports book-building and as tech issuers test public-market appetite rather than private raises \u2014 a shift that aligns with India\u2019s deeper primary-market pool and the broader 2025 listings cycle.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Our take: Zepto\u2019s confidential filing underscores how tech issuers are turning to public markets at a time when domestic capital is driving book-building. For GCC sovereign funds and banks, that creates a clearer anchor-entry environment \u2014 supported by local liquidity rather than foreign flows \u2014 as India\u2019s primary market becomes more self-sustaining.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The public market is now the exit route<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Founders turned to listings for price discovery and secondary sell-downs as private funding tightened, creating a steady pipeline even as secondary-market activity softened.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Market backdrop: Participation in financial services, consumer and capital goods, and autos helped sustain valuations. These sectors accounted for nearly half of proceeds this year.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">More than half of this year\u2019s 358 listings on the main and junior boards are now trading below issue price, with most weakness in sub-USD 100 mn IPOs. Some larger offers are only marginally above offer price. Foreign ownership of NSE-listed companies has slipped to below 17%, the lowest level in about 15 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MENA in the book-build<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Gulf sovereign funds and regional banks usually participate in large foreign IPOs through anchor and cornerstone allocations, rather than taking majority control positions. In 3Q 2025, the MENA region recorded 11 IPOs raising about <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ey.com\/en_iq\/newsroom\/2025\/10\/mena-region-sees-11-ipos-raise-us-0-7b-in-q3-2025\" rel=\"noopener\">USD 700 mn<\/a>, with eight listings in Saudi Arabia contributing roughly USD 637 mn to that total. India\u2019s USD 22 bn IPO year provides a larger primary-market pool, giving corridor investors access to deeper book-building liquidity than is currently available in most GCC markets.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Why it matters for MENA investors: As India\u2019s primary market becomes more domestically anchored and deeper, MENA and Gulf allocators have multiple avenues to engage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Anchor and cornerstone roles in large IPOs with strong local pricing support;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Chances for syndication and underwriting flow for banks active in India\u2019s ECM;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Strategic ownership positions in financial and other sectors outside public offerings.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Outside the IPO market, some GCC allocators are taking control positions in Indian financial firms. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/mena-india\/en\/news\/story\/23fe96c0-db9a-4956-84fc-68ab25be1026\/enbd-outlines-post-investment-strategy-for-rbl-bank,-expresses-faith-in-indian-economy-and-regulators\" rel=\"noopener\">Emirates NBD<\/a> is acquiring a 60% stake in RBL Bank for about USD 3 bn, and Abu Dhabi\u2019s IHC is acquiring 43.5% of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/mena-india\/en\/news\/story\/d442c500-14e0-421a-87d7-936c3026c505\/%3cmark%3esammaan%3c\/mark%3e%3cmark%3e-capital%3c\/mark%3e-to-boost-affordable-housing-with-ihc%e2%80%99s-usd-1-bn-investment\" rel=\"noopener\">Sammaan Capital<\/a> for nearly USD 1 bn.

For the GCC, this marks a shift from stability to opportunity for the India-MENA corridor. The cost of Indian-sourced textiles, food staples, and engineering goods could effectively drop by 3Q 2026, potentially offsetting the 14% rise in global tariff averages. If the INR indeed enters a \u201ccrawl-like\u201d depreciation through 2026, UAE crude exporters may demand higher premiums or shorter settlement cycles to avoid holding a depreciating currency.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/mena-india\/tag\/fta\/\">FTA<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/mena-india\/tag\/india-uae-cepa\/\">India-UAE CEPA<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/mena-india\/tag\/india-uae-relations\/\">India-UAE relations<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/mena-india\/tag\/trade\/\">Trade<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"85743\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"85743\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">ALSO ON OUR RADAR<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/mena-india\/2025\/12\/29\/dubais-al-hind-air-and-flyexpress-secure-clearance-to-launch-in-india\/\">\r\n                            Dubai\u2019s Al Hind Air and FlyExpress secure clearance to launch in India                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/mena-india\/2025\/12\/29\/dubais-al-hind-air-and-flyexpress-secure-clearance-to-launch-in-india\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"> Passive funds come out on top while stock pickers bleed: 2025 was another punishing year for active equity managers. About USD 1 tn was pulled from active equity mutual funds, extending outflows to an 11th straight year, while passive equity ETFs pulled in more than USD 600 bn, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-12-26\/brutal-year-for-stock-picking-spurs-trillion-dollar-fund-exodus\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg Intelligence<\/a> estimates.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Concentration did the damage: A small cluster of US mega-cap tech stocks accounted for an outsized share of market gains, reinforcing a decade-long pattern. Investors trying to keep up with the market have been increasingly cornered into holding those stocks (and little else), leaving diversified portfolios at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">The hit rate collapsed: Roughly 73% of US equity mutual funds trailed their benchmarks in 2025, the fourth-worst showing since 2007. Underperformance worsened after April\u2019s tariff scare faded and AI enthusiasm reasserted tech leadership.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Breadth never showed up: On many days this year, fewer than one in five stocks rose alongside the broader market. The S&P 500 consistently beat its equal-weighted version \u2014 a clear signal that gains remained narrow and unforgiving for stock pickers.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Active still worked, just not at home: A handful of managers outperformed by stepping far outside US large caps. Dimensional Fund Advisors\u2019 International Small Cap Value portfolio gained just over 50%, driven by exposure to non-US financials, industrials, and materials rather than Big Tech.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Why 2025 felt harsher than usual: The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/0f5daafb-ac66-48f4-85cb-ebf63369ef66\" rel=\"noopener\">Financial Times<\/a> points out that this year\u2019s gainers were dominated by AI-linked stocks, Asian chipmakers, defense names, and precious metals, while US consumer and advertising stocks lagged \u2014 reinforcing sector and regional divides that made broad-based alpha elusive.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">The identity crisis of \u201cactive\u201d: With deviation proving costly, many funds drifted closer to index weights, blurring the line between active and passive while still charging higher fees. Bloomberg says that dynamic has made investors increasingly unwilling to pay for underperformance.<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-left:0pt;\" align=\"left\">\n<div
