About Swiggy

"Swiggy is a food ordering and delivery company based out of Bangalore, India. Swiggy was inspired by the thought of providing a complete food ordering and delivery solution from the best neighborhood restaurants to the urban foodie. A single window for ordering from a wide range of restaurants, we have our own exclusive fleet of delivery personnel to pickup orders from restaurants and deliver it to customers . Having our own fleet gives us the flexibility to offer customers a no minimum order policy on any restaurant and accept online payments for all partner restaurants that we work with. Our delivery personnel carry one order at a time which ensures we get reliable and fast deliveries."

Swiggy provides food-delivery services from restaurants in the users' vicinity on its website as well as on a mobile app available on both Android and iOS platforms. Swiggy was started in August 2014 by Sriharsha Majety and Nandan Reddy, both alumni of BITS-Pilani, and Rahul Jaimini, an alumnus of IIT, Kharagpur.

Is Swiggy different :

Swiggy, unlike several other food ordering platforms has its own delivery fleet consisting of smartphone equipped personnel, guided by an app powered by routing algorithms, who pick up orders from restaurants and deliver them to customers.
