Amazon India is considering investing in a food delivery startup from Bengaluru – Swiggy. The negotiations have been in progress for a few months now. In the meantime, Swiggy has attracted the attention of other investors, such as Alibaba-backed Ele.me. The interest of these business sharks shows how big the potential of this Indian startup is.
What makes it so special is, of course, the quality of their management. Furthermore, there are some important differences between Swiggy and standard delivery companies. This startup has its own employees delivering the food from restaurants directly to the client. The flexibility that comes from having their own fleet allows them to omit minimum order policy and take only one order at a time. That improves the customers’ comfort of choice and makes the delivery as fast as possible.
Now, with about 40,000 orders a day, Swiggy is considered a respectable player on the market. Future cooperation with Amazon India might be a real bargain for both. Thanks to this, the Bengaluru startup will be able to improve its workforce management, while Amazon has a chance to bolster their grocery delivery business, Amazon Now.
