Quick commerce company, Zepto, which is shifting its operations to Bengaluru has zeroed in a popular Total mall for its headquarters, reported Money Control. The staff of the company are expected to change their base by early next year.

According to the report, the company signed a lease agreement to convert Sarjapur’s Total mall into its office and is planning to move all 1,800 (roughly) employees to tech capital from Mumbai. It earlier set a deadline by November this year but it is now extended as the company was looking for a suitable location in Bengaluru for the new base.

The Karnataka government earlier welcomed Zepto to the capital city and appealed to other start-ups to consider Bengaluru for their primary operations. “Our city is also the most millennial-friendly in India for education and employment, ranking 18th in the Asia Pacific.
