In an exciting move to further strengthen its position in the competitive quick commerce market, Zepto has announced a strategic partnership with Park+ to offer a curated range of premium car care products across India. The collaboration promises to deliver essential car maintenance items in under 10 minutes, catering to the needs of car owners in over eight cities.
The new service will provide consumers with a selection of 15 premium car care products, including cleaning kits, comfort accessories, and maintenance tools. Zepto aims to offer convenience by bringing these products directly to customers’ doorsteps, bypassing the need for visits to multiple stores.
The curated product range is designed to cater to varying needs and budgets. It includes affordable items like car shampoos and scratch removers priced under INR 200, microfiber cloths and travel pillows under INR 500, as well as more comprehensive car cleaning kits available for up to INR 2000. Amit Lakhotia, Founder and CEO of Park+, emphasized that the partnership would enhance the car ownership experience by enabling customers to access high-quality products quickly and effortlessly.
Chandan Mendiratta, Chief Brand Officer at Zepto, expressed excitement about the collaboration, noting that speed and convenience are central to Zepto’s business model. “By integrating Park+’s premium offerings into our platform, we’re able to provide users with an enhanced shopping experience, meeting their car care needs with unprecedented speed and ease.”
The partnership comes at a key moment for Zepto, which has recently raised $350 million in its latest funding round—the largest fully domestic fundraise in India’s startup ecosystem. The round, led by Motilal Oswal’s Private Wealth division, also saw participation from high-net-worth individuals and family offices, including notable figures such as actor Abhishek Bachchan and former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
With this significant capital infusion, Zepto aims to expand its footprint in the fast-growing quick commerce market, positioning itself as a formidable competitor to rivals like Zomato-owned Blinkit and Swiggy’s Instamart. The funding round also propelled Zepto’s valuation to $5 billion, further solidifying its presence in the Indian e-commerce landscape as it prepares for a potential initial public offering (IPO) in the near future.
