Swiggy?

What is Swiggy?

Hungry Red Bull GIF by jjjjjohn

Swiggy is a food ordering and delivery platform. Founded in July 2014, Swiggy is based in Bangalore and operates in 500 Indian cities as of September 2021. Swiggy was founded by BITS Pilani graduates Nandan Reddy and Sriharsha Majety, who had the brilliant idea of changing the way India eats through hyperlocal food delivery.

​

What was the gap?

They saw an untapped gap between food ordering and delivery in India and decided to make an indelible mark there. Swiggy's business model is based on bridging that very gap. As revolutionary as this idea was, they wanted to keep it simple for users, so the idea of Swiggy, an app that makes food available with a single tap, was born. 

​

Swiggy is the apex of Bundl Technologies, the previous venture of these two geniuses. It's been quite a journey from an abstract idea to over 5 lakh mobile app installations for Swiggy. 

Now that we had discussed what is swiggy and when and by whom it was founded, let's move to the next part of the story. Let us dive deep into how swiggy works. 

Let us dwell deep into Swiggy's business model to understand better what is swiggy and what model it is made to function.
