[Cite this finding](#cite-this)

On 2026-07-04, Zepto became the most-cited quick commerce brand across the combined CITE Index — surpassing Blinkit for the first time since tracking began.

The new reading: **Zepto 98.0%** combined share of voice, versus **Blinkit 98.7%** (down 0.7 points day-over-day).

### Engine breakdown

* **ChatGPT:** Zepto (96.0% SoV)
* **Gemini:** Blinkit (100.0% SoV)
* **Google AI Mode:** Zepto (100.0% SoV)

### Why this matters

Leadership changes on AI search are not driven by retail share or paid media — they are driven by **citation pool quality**. The brand whose sources the AI engines read most heavily wins, regardless of who sells more units. Zepto's rise above Blinkit marks a structural shift in which third-party reviewers, ranking sites, and forums the AI surfaces are reading.

For brand teams in quick commerce: this is a citation-pool problem, not a brand-awareness problem.
