Quick commerce platform Zepto has launched pilot projects for two new verticals—Super Mall for high‑value, premium orders and Zepto Diagnostics for healthcare services. The initiatives aim to diversify offerings, improve margins, and test customer adoption in select cities before a full‑scale rollout across India’s competitive digital marketplace.
Broadening the quick commerce play
Zepto, known for its rapid grocery delivery model, is now experimenting with premium categories and healthcare diagnostics to strengthen customer stickiness. The *Super Mall vertical* focuses on non‑grocery, high‑value products, tapping into higher‑margin categories amid rising competition. Meanwhile, *Zepto Diagnostics*, integrated within its pharma segment, offers in‑app diagnostic services, marking the company’s entry into healthcare delivery. Both pilots are currently limited to select cities and customers, with performance metrics guiding future expansion.
