About The Company

Swiggy, founded in 2014 by Sriharsha Majety, Nandan Reddy, and Rahul Jaimini in Bengaluru, India, initially launched as Bundl Technologies before rebranding to Swiggy in 2015. What started as a simple food delivery platform has evolved into a comprehensive on-demand convenience ecosystem, revolutionizing how Indians access meals, groceries, and more. Headquartered in Bengaluru, Swiggy operates in over 580 cities across India as of 2025, serving millions of users with its user-friendly app and website. The company’s mission is to deliver joy through food and convenience, emphasizing seamless, fast, and reliable services that connect consumers, restaurants, and delivery partners in a hyperlocal network.

Swiggy’s core offerings include its flagship food delivery service, which partners with thousands of restaurants to bring diverse cuisines to doorsteps within minutes. In 2020, it expanded into quick commerce with Swiggy Instamart, utilizing a network of dark stores for 10-15 minute deliveries of groceries, essentials, and daily needs—a segment projected to reach $24 billion in India by 2025. Complementary services like Swiggy Dineout for restaurant reservations and deals, and the short-lived Swiggy Genie for hyperlocal package delivery (shut down in May 2025), highlight its diversification strategy. The platform also launched Scenes in December 2024 for events and ticketing, further broadening its utility.

Financially, Swiggy has raised over $3.62 billion across 16 funding rounds from marquee investors like SoftBank, Prosus, Invesco, and BlackRock, achieving a valuation of $11.3 billion at its November 2024 IPO—the second largest tech listing in India that year. As a publicly traded company (ticker: SWIGGY), it reported trailing 12-month revenue of $1.97 billion as of June 2025, with annual revenue reaching ₹15,600 crore (approximately $1.85 billion) by March 2025. Despite competitive pressures in quick commerce from rivals like Zomato’s Blinkit and Zepto, Swiggy’s food delivery segment achieved Adjusted EBITDA profitability in 2023 and the group aims for overall operational profitability by December 2025.

With over 25,000 employees, including tech teams, delivery executives, and operations staff, Swiggy fosters a dynamic, innovation-driven culture. It has pioneered AI-driven logistics for route optimization, contactless deliveries, and personalized recommendations, while committing to sustainability through eco-friendly packaging, reduced plastic use, and carbon-efficient delivery routes. Acquisitions like the 2017 acqui-hire of 48East and 2019’s Kint.io have bolstered its AI and Asian cuisine offerings. Swiggy’s tech blogs showcase its engineering feats, from distance services to scalable delivery challenges, underscoring its position as a tech powerhouse in India’s $50 billion-plus on-demand economy. As it navigates market volatility—its stock dipped below IPO price in early 2025 amid quick commerce investments—Swiggy remains committed to user-centric innovation, ethical practices, and equal opportunity employment, making it a vibrant choice for tech talent.
