About Swiggy

Swiggy was founded in August 2014 in Bengaluru. Its founders, Sriharsha Majety and Nandan Reddy, previously ran a logistics startup before pivoting to food delivery with Rahul Jaimini. Swiggy distinguished itself by building an extensive in-house delivery fleet with live tracking, unlike earlier aggregators.

Swiggy expanded rapidly across India, raising capital from investors including Prosus and SoftBank. It diversified beyond restaurant food with the launch of Swiggy Instamart (quick commerce) in 2020 and Swiggy Genie (hyperlocal courier). The company went public on the Indian stock exchanges in 2024.
