中文Temporary Phone Number for Zepto
Updated 3 min read
Zepto's ten-minute grocery app confirms new accounts by SMS, then asks again if you sign in from an unfamiliar device. A temporary virtual number is a practical option for that one signup, so alerts stay off the number you use every day. 5SIM lets you pick an available number, receive the SMS online, and track it in your dashboard.

Zepto delivers groceries in about ten minutes from a network of small local warehouses stocked to match each neighbourhood. Two teenagers, Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra, started it in 2021, and it now sits among the three largest names in India's quick-commerce race alongside Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart. The same app runs Zepto Cafe for ten-minute food and coffee, a Daily plan for repeat essentials, and a Super Saver tier that trades a fixed delivery slot for lower prices on a bigger basket.
The 2026 story is money. In the year to March, operating revenue more than doubled to about 11,550 crore rupees, advertising revenue rose over 150% to 1,640 crore, and losses widened by about a quarter to 5,905 crore. The company had raised 450 million dollars in October 2025 at a 7 billion dollar valuation, then filed a confidential draft for a stock listing in January and updated the paperwork in June.
Then it paused. At an August town hall, chief executive Aadit Palicha told staff the listing would slip by two to three quarters and the company would raise more than 1,000 crore rupees from existing backers first. Valuation expectations had come down from 7 billion dollars to a 4-to-5 billion range.
Creating an account asks for a mobile number, and Zepto sends a one-time SMS to confirm it before the first order, then asks for it again when a returning user signs in on a new phone. The number carries order and delivery-partner updates. Someone who would rather keep those off the line saved across their contacts can register with an additional virtual number and read the SMS in a 5SIM order.
