Founded in 2014, Swiggy is India's leading on-demand convenience platform with a vision to elevate the quality of life for the urban consumer by offering unparalleled convenience. It connects consumers to over 290,000 restaurant partners in over 600 cities. Using innovative technology in logistics space, Swiggy provides a hassle-free, fast, and reliable delivery experience.

Swiggy’s core value proposition revolves around online food delivery across a huge network of restaurants offering variety of cuisines.

With a vision to elevate the quality of life for the urban consumer by offering unparalleled convenience, they have expanded into other verticals like Instamart (on-demand grocery delivery) and Swiggy Genie (same-day package delivery).

It is present not only to order online, but also help dining out by making table reservations and paying bills offline.

How do consumers experience the core value proposition?

On-demand delivery of food and groceries is how users most commonly experience the core value proposition.

• Online food delivery
• Instamart (on-demand grocery delivery)
• Swiggy Genie (same-day package delivery)
• Swiggy Dineout (reserve tables at restaurant as well as pay bills on dining)
• Swiggy Minis - It has been excluded due to low and limited option.

​

We haven't taken supply side of restaurants for our assignment. Only users on demand side have been considered here.

• Active User:
  
  For a user to be considered active, they should place atleast two orders within a month across any of the Swiggy offerings on the app
  
• Natural frequency of core and sub-product:
  
  Based on 30+ responses to user surveys, here are some common patterns and insights on usage.
  
  Users have been segmented based on their frequency of usage and breadth of usage.

​

Based on our observation from user interviews and secondary research online, two of the core products: food delivery and instamart contribute to majority to overall revenue (>80%). We have taken it into account to draw an engagement framework analysis:

INTERNET APPROACH:

I’ve gone from seeing 6% to 65% on the internet as retention rates for food delivery apps like Swiggy and Zomato, largely due to the fact that everyone can choose to define it on its own terms. 

For example, in 2018, Zomato defined retention rate as the number of users who have ordered in the past 12 months, leading to a retention rate figure of 65%. Source HERE. It might have been relevant for it in PMF/ early scaling but it is no more.

So, it is time we take our own GUESTIMATE APPROACH to ground our numbers.

GUESTIMATE APPROACH:​

Given our earlier data of segmentation based on user surveys, we will use it to draw the retention curve using guesstimate approach.

Assumptions:

1. We can determine retention of user in long term based on their activity in the first two months by classifying their behaviour in Casual, Core and Power user. Support HERE.
   
2. There’s not a lot of mobility among cohorts, unless there’s external factors involved, which have been assumed constant for the purpose of analysis. However, we acknowledge this can lead to number being off by a few percentage points. However, also upward or downward mobility among core and power users and vice versa will not affect retention curve significantly.
   
3. We have assumed Casual, Core and Power split would be 60%, 30% and 10% respectively.
   
4. We have also assumed initial retention rates of each of the cohorts - Casual, Core and Power User to be 20%, 40% and 60% respectively.
   
5. Given, we have taken monthly frequency as a base metric to classify users based on nature of product usage, we will continue to do M-o-M analysis. While product has strong weekly usage, that is only applicable for relatively smaller percentage of user base.
   

After having established assumptions, to accurately calculate M-o-M retention percentage points, we will take in consideration the following variables to adjust the rate:

• Time to value
• Competition
• Brand and W-O-M
  

Let’s begin!

Initial Retention Rates:

• Casual Users: 20% (Assumption based on typical casual user behavior)
• Core Users: 40% (Assumption based on moderate engagement)
• Power Users: 60% (Assumption based on high engagement)
  

M-o-M fall in Retention based on User Segment:

Here we will logically assume each variable impacts retention rate and till what extent.

• Presence of Competitor:
• • Casual Users: High impact (30%) - Casual users are more likely to switch to competitors due to price sensitivity and lesser loyalty.
  • Core Users: Moderate impact (10%) - Core users are somewhat loyal but can be influenced by better deals.
  • Power Users: Low impact (5%) - Power users are highly engaged and less likely to switch frequently.
    
• Time to Value:
• • Casual Users: Moderate impact (20%) - If casual users don't see value quickly, they might drop off.
  • Core Users: Moderate impact (15%) - Core users expect consistent value but might tolerate initial delays and work arounds in experience.
  • Power Users: Lower impact (10%) - Power users have high engagement and willingness and have showed urgency to act as well as patience to fully understand the core value.
    
• Brand/Word of Mouth (WOM):
  
  While Brand/ W-O-M, can also positively impact growth but there’s likely to be a significant change on negative PR. Hypothetical news: Zomato pays delivery riders better than Swiggy. In this case it would create negative perception if there’s a lot of backlash online while majority of habitual users are going to continue use product. Only a few percentage will drop. Hence, we have assumed negative impact on retention curve which is likely to happen than positive one.
• • Casual Users: Moderate impact (15%) - Positive WOM can retain casual users. Can take extreme action to use or uninstall app based on brand/ reviews.
  • Core Users: Low impact (10%) - Core users are already somewhat loyal and will be moderately be influenced by brand/ W-O-M not taking any extreme action.
  • Power Users: Minimal impact (5%) - Power users' high engagement is less influenced by external opinions.
    

Average change in M-o-M, assuming all 3 factors play an equal role in determining user actions.​

• Casual User = (30% + 20% + 15%)/3 = 21.6%
• Core User = (10%+10%+10%)/3 = 10%
• Power User = (5%+10%+5%)/3 = 6.6%

Table: M-o-M change in retention for Each User Segment and Overall Retention

Calculating Overall Retention

Each month's overall retention is derived from the weighted average of the retention rates of Casual, Core, and Power users.

Overall Retention for each of the months can be calculated at:
= ((60% x Casual User Retention) + (30% × Core User Retention) + (10% × Power User Retention)) = ((0.6x Casual User Retention) + (0.3 × Core User Retention) + (0.10 × Power User Retention)) = Final numerical value to be converted into percentage

We have covered this in above table: "M-o-M change in retention for Each User Segment and Overall Retention"

To understand calculations, refer to the spreadsheet HERE

What month does retention curve for Swiggy flatten?

To determine when the retention curve flattens, we need to analyze the month-over-month percentage changes in retention rates. A curve is considered to be flattening when the month-over-month changes become smaller and more consistent, indicating that the retention rates are stabilizing.

Let’s figure delta of the change, folks!

Calculation of Month-over-Month Changes in Overall Retention Curve:

The percentage fall decreases over time, indicating that the retention curve is flattening.

Conclusion: The retention curve starts to stabilize around Month 8 as the percentage falls becoming smaller and more consistent from this point onward.

Which ICPs drive the best retention?

The Core and Power users drive the best retention for Swiggy. A common observation in these two categories is the subscription to Swiggy One, which offers free deliveries (except Genie) and premium discounts across Swiggy sub-products. This drives high engagement and retention.

• Core Users: These users have an average order frequency of 6-8 orders monthly for online food orders and 2-3 orders for groceries through Instamart. Their monthly spend ranges from INR 4,000 to 6,000 on Swiggy. They heavily use the delivery feature and at least one sub-product of Swiggy.

They leverage all features of Swiggy, making it their one-stop app for food delivery, grocery shopping, and more.
