Zepto Relocates HQ To Bengaluru, Aims To Save ₹40-50 Lakh In Rent Monthly

Zepto, a rapid growth commerce startup, is planning to relocate its headquarters from Powai, Mumbai to Sarjapur, Bengaluru, according to a report by Moneycontrol. The company currently has an office in Bengaluru, but aims to consolidate its corporate roles in a larger facility, streamlining operations from multiple cities into one location.

Zepto plans to relocate all 1,700-1,800 employees, including its tech and product teams in Bengaluru, and business verticals in Mumbai. The company will cover relocation costs for employees who choose to transfer to Bengaluru. The move is expected to incur a one-time expense of approximately Rs 3-4 crore for the company.

The relocation is expected to save Zepto around Rs 40-50 lakh in rent per month due to the move from Mumbai to Bengaluru. The company will be giving up both its current offices in Mumbai and Bengaluru, and consolidating its operations into a new 150,000 sq ft office in Bengaluru.

The new office is expected to be located in the Sarjapur, HSR, or Bellandur areas of Bengaluru. Out of Zepto's total workforce, around 1,000 employees are based in Mumbai, 400 in Bengaluru, and around 300 are distributed across various locations managing city operations.

According to a source quoted by the report, around 90% of the employees in Mumbai are already willing to move to Bengaluru, with the remaining 10% in discussions to relocate. If all goes as planned, only 5-7% of the employees will be unable to move to Bengaluru.
