industry. Perhaps the best example is the use of self-checkout screens at fast food
venues such as McDonalds, but it’s not the only one!
Swiggy app has bugs. These are visible only when we spend a good amount of
time and looking deep into it. When a food item has an option to customise, the
food item gets selected and added to cart as soon as user clicks on the
“Customize” link. Fast Delivery : Swiggy is always for its It has always take care

With the emergence of 21st century, we could see India at a rising pace. Young

India, the in almost every vertical from online shopping to ticket bookings,
healthcare, etc. One of such verticals is e-food industry, which has very efficiently
utilized the e- commerce platform in the online food review and food ordering
business. This is a vertical, which has brought almost every restaurant in India
under a single roof in the hands of the consumer. Now, finding a great place to
eat, ordering food, reserving tables, and giving positive or negative feedback for a
restaurant has become very easy and accessible for the consumer. This vertical
has shown tremendous growth over the last 5 years signifying the untapped
potential. The pioneer and leader of this segment in India has been Zomato.
Zomato is a brand, which every consumer would associate to when he thinks of an
e-food platform.
Kamakshi (September 2016) Conducted a Study on the topic “Consumer
Perception and behaviour towards fast food a study with reference to Chennai
city.” The major findings were that consumer of fast food are health conscious
and they do not have emotional attachment for fast food products. And the
consumers consume fast food not only because of the taste, price, offers, and
discounts rather they consider the Quality, health and hygiene factors of the fast
food.
Kashyap, Radha (April 2017) has Conducted a study on the topic “Consumer
Perception towards online shopping for apparel through various websites.” Their
findings were the shopping behaviour varies with respect to the age, gender,
occupation, income, marital status. It also indicates that lack of information such
as description of Product, return policy are major drawback for online shopping
websites.
Kalaiselvi.T. (October 2014) has conducted a study on the topic “Buying
behaviour of consumer towards selected white goods.” The major findings of her
13
are the manufacturing to be successful, they have to concentrate more on
Product, its

they are providing a good showroom ambience with courteous of employees and
varieties of brands. And they also have to make sure that manufacturers and
dealers work in a team for a successful brand in market.

products in Salem city.” It is found out from the study that consumer preferring
for a particular food product is obviously influenced by the product and the
surrounding in which it is being manufactured and also the lifestyle of the
consumers. When the consumer prefer for ready to eat food products they are
expecting the best quality and this is also the main consideration for the
manufacturers and marketers .The marketer has to fulfil all the needs and wants of
the consumers so in order to achieve this he would be conducting a detailed
market research in order to bring some innovation in the product such that it
catches the eyes of the consumer and thereby they can increase the demand for the

perceived risks, web site role, domain specific innovativeness, subjective norms,
Attitude, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, online shopping
intention and online shopping behaviour. There are many reasons for people
preferring online shopping but the major reason for a consumer backing out from
online shopping is the security issues but the industry has given little concern to
this issue. The ambience associated with the website is the most important factor
that

Company Profile
2.1 Introduction
Swiggy is a leading food ordering and delivery startup in India. The company
started operations in 2014 and is headquartered in Bengaluru. Swiggy works by
acting as a bridge between customers and restaurants. It utilizes an innovative
technology platform that allows customers to order food from nearby restaurants
and get it delivered at their doorstep. With Swiggy, customers do not have to keep
the contact numbers of various restaurants and eateries in their locality. Swiggy
works as a single point of contact for ordering food from all restaurants that may
be there at a particular location. Swiggy has its own team of delivery professionals
who pickup orders from restaurants and deliver it at the customer's doorstep. This
has made the task of ordering food a lot easier for customers. Restaurants also
gain by getting more orders and avoiding costs and efforts associated with
maintaining their own delivery personnel. Swiggy is India's largestand most
valuable online food ordering and delivery platform. Founded in 2014, Swiggy is
based out of Bengaluru, India and, as of March 2019, was operating out of 100
Indian cities. In early 2019, Swiggy expanded into general product deliveries,
under the brand name Swiggy Stores.
In September 2019, Swiggy launched instant pick up and drop service Swiggy
Go. The service is used to pick up and drop off a diverse array of items, including
laundryand document or parcel deliveries to business clients and retail customers
In 2013 two founders, Sriharsha Majety and Nandan Reddy, designed an e-
commerce website called "Bundl" to facilitate courier service and ship goods
within India. Bundl was quickly paused, and they moved into the food delivery
market. At the time, the food delivery sector was in turmoil as several notable
startups, such as Foodpanda (later acquired by Ola Cabs), TinyOwl (later acquired
by Zomato) and Ola Cafe (laterclosed) were struggling. Majety and Reddy
approached Rahul Jaimini, formerly with Myntra, and founded Swiggy and parent
holding company Bundl Technologies in
20
2014.The company built out a dedicated delivery network and grew rapidly,
primarily driven by the focus on logistics and locking in key resources.
By 2015, the company began attracting external investments. The first was a $2
million investment from Accel and SAIF Partners, along with an additional
investment from Norwest Venture Partners. The next year, Swiggy raised $15
millionfrom new and existing investors, including Bessemer Venture Partners and
Harmony Partners.
In 2017, Naspers led an $80 million funding round into Swiggy. Swiggy received
$100 million from China-based Meituan-Dianping and Naspers in 2018 and then
later a string of investments took the company's valuation to over a $1 billion.
Swiggy acquired Bengaluru-based Asian food start-up 48East in 2017. Swiggy
later acquired Mumbai-based Scootsy Logistics, a struggling food and fashion
delivery service. In 2019, the company invested Rs 31 crore in Mumbai-based
ready-to-eat food brand Fingerlix
2.3 History:
The idea for Swiggy came in 2014, when the founders realized that there was a
huge gap in the food ordering and delivery space. Restaurants often faced
manpower problems and their delivery personnel were also not trained to deliver
food in time. Swiggy started as a small setup in August 2014, with a team of six
delivery personnel and covering 25 restaurants. However, the idea soon became a
huge hit among customers and restaurants alike. Swiggy now has operations in 8
cities and more than 10,000 restaurants on its platform.
2.4 Funding
Swiggy has received investments worth USD 155.5 million via six rounds of
funding. Investors include SAIF Partners, Harmony Partners, Naspers, Norwest
Venture Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Accel Partners.
21
2.5 Acquisitions
Swiggy had acquired gourmet food startup '48East' in December 2017. The
acquisition of 48East has helped Swiggy to strengthen its service offerings and
add additional capabilities as well. The deal was done for an undisclosed amount.
2.6 Partnerships
Swiggy has partnered with Burger King for providing delivery services. It has
also partnered with Google Local Guide to facilitate customer reviews, and with
Sodexo to enable customers to pay through meal cards.Swiggy has partnered with
Indifi Technologies to facilitate a financing program for partner restaurants
22
2.7 Swiggy Business Model
Swiggy has two major revenue streams.
It is the first milestone in Swiggy’s vision to elevate the quality of life for the
urban consumer by offering unparalleled convenience, he added. Swiggy Stores
will give its merchant-partners unmatched access to a combination of core assets
to reach more existing and new customers
Mission
● By 2020, we will expand Swiggy Go to over 300 cities and Swiggy Stores
to all the major metros, ushering in a new era of convenience for
consumers across India
● Our mission is to change the way India eats.
Tagline:
2.9 Competition
Swiggy competes with other players in the food ordering and delivery space such as
Zomato, Box8, Holachef, Dineout, etc.
Competitors
The Indian food delivery market is fairly new and is currently valued at USD15
billion (Nair, 2017). The market is fast growing, and its current main players
besides Swiggy are Foodpanda, Zomato, Aero by Google, TastyKhana,
UberEATS, Tiny owl,
23
SpoonJoy, BOX8, and Deliver. Even though there seems to be a lot of players in
the market, Swiggy’s main competition comes from Zomato and UberEATS.
What sets Swiggy apart from most of its competitors is their fast delivery service
and the tracking feature on their mobile app which has also enabled them to
attract venture capital. Sumer Juneja, a principal representing one of the VC
companies funding Swiggy said “The company’s differentiated product offering
includes delivery, which enables Swiggy to deliver a truly end-to-end service for
consumers and restaurants in India (Amarja, 2016). Swiggy’s delivery
infrastructure solves a major need in the market by enabling restaurants to
concentrate on their core business and scale up theirdelivery revenues.”

Rahul Bothra CFO
Strengths — The Swiggy brand has grown to be a good and respected brand in
the eight cities it currently serves. It is associated with quick delivery, a wide
range of restaurants, and well-trained delivery executives.
Weaknesses — The company’s main weakness is the delivery charge for all
orders below Rs 250 while some of their main competitors like Zomato have free
delivery on all orders.
Opportunities — The food delivery market is a relatively new market in India
which lacks a leader. It is a fast-growing market which Swiggy — with the right
marketing strategy — can do well to win and become its leader.
Threats — The irregularities and constant change in Indian laws and government
regulations present a threat to startup companies like Swiggy. Another cause for
concern is the growing health consciousness in India which poses a threat to all
food delivery and serving companies if they fail to meet or maintain improved
health standards. A study by Ali, Kapoor, and Moorthy (2010) showed that a
significant amount of the Indian population is shifting their top priority of food
from price to cleanliness and freshness. Swiggy and other food delivery service
need to maintain their health standards and make cleanliness and freshness a
priority.
Swiggy’s marketing strategy aims to leave no one behind from social media users
to TV viewers at an age where most companies have slightly abandoned TV
25
advertisements. Their marketing strategy consists of both online and offline
campaigns. The offline marketing strategy also includes the use of billboards and
bus stickers. The online campaigns are promoted via Facebook, Instagram,
Youtube, Twitter, and Pinterest. The company also uses social media to engage
and collect feedback from its customers. Swiggy’s most popular promotions are
#SwiggyTuesdays and Swiggy POP. Swiggy POP is an everyday offering of Rs
99 meals from different restaurants with no delivery charges.
Another of their marketing strategies is to engage their customers directly with
their partnership restaurants. The Indian youth enjoys free things, promotions, and
sells which something that most local and international companies know and
exploit. On top of the promotions on their app, Swiggy also organizes food trails.
These events are daylong walks with free food at Swiggy’s partnership
restaurants. During these food trails, influencers, bloggers, and local celebrities
dress up in the brand’s clothingand lead the customers to the popular food joints
for free meals (Gupta, 2017). Cricketis almost a sacred sport in India. Swiggy has
sponsored cricket games and other sports. In 2017 Swiggy ran a big campaign at
the Indian Premier League where they used both print and TV campaigns to
extend the brand’s reach. After the games, Swiggy reported a 23% increase in
new user orders and 19% increase in the overall orders during the season (Susmita
Biswa, 2017). By doing so, Swiggy has demonstrated an understanding of the
Indian youth culture of loving cheap and free food and used that to their
advantage. The low-income customers can pay Rs 99 meals through Swiggy for
meals they could have paid up to Rs 300 for if they walkedto the restaurant. The
use of local celebrities and influencers also demonstrates an understanding of
local economic constraints and utilizing that knowledge to raise market share.
Indian city roads are usually congested with traffic and to obtain a fast delivery
service, Swiggy uses bikes which can quickly push their way through traffic.
Swiggy also allows cash on delivery on all their orders taking into account that
most of their Indian customers do not have bank accounts or credit cards. Their
media marketing mix also takes into account local considerations by also using
traditional media like
26
TV, print, and radio because there is still a significant population of their target
market that still uses these platforms. They maintain a balanced mix of traditional
andonline media as directed by local considerations.
Segmentation:
Swiggy under demographic segmentation mainly targets the younger generation.
The segmentation ages include the teenagers, who would find it very convenient
for food to deliver at their doorstep, the next target group are the college-going
students and also the ones who work at the office and find it difficult to commute
to their favorite restaurant.
The focus, however, has been on the millennials customers and all the brand-
building efforts have been made to make Swiggy their go-to-app when it comes to
food delivery. Under behavioral segmentation, it has found a market segment who
find look for convenience when it comes to food and prefers staying at home and
having aquick meal.
The psychographic segmentation, it targets the customer who believes that it is
better to have food delivered to them than go all the way to the restaurant and
avoid all the traffic in the city. Swiggy targets people who want to live a
convenient lifestyle.
Target:
Swiggy has been able to cater to the huge target audience and these audiences
have varied characteristics, ages, and behavior. Looking at India’s market size,
Swiggy has a great population to target but its main and ideal target audience is
the ages of 18-35. These are the people who are college students, working
professionals or entrepreneurs who have a good lifestyle and are living in posh
localities.
Positioning:
Swiggy has made the food delivery not just an extended arm of restaurants and
has profited well out of this business. The main positioning strategy of Swiggy is
an app that helped customers get the food they want, wherever they want.
All the marketing efforts made my Swiggy has helped create an image that
Swiggy makes life convenient and easy for its customers and promises best
customer
27
experience and aims to keep every customer both partner restaurants and the
customers satisfied with the services.
It is positioned to revolutionize the way people eat their food. It has the motto that
“no customers go hungry” and helps customers connect with their favorite
restaurants with a click of the button.
Distribution in the Marketing strategy of Swiggy
Swiggy has the strategy of making Hyperlocal product deliveries. It has a delivery
diversification strategy. It aims to not only make the delivery for the food, but it
also aims to create a delivery system for medicine, grocery, gift shops, and flower
shops and capture a larger share of the delivery market of India.
This is the concept of “Swiggy stores” will be first launched in Gurugram and has
already partnered with 3500 stores. It also aims to extend its services in all the
developing cities of India and capture the market share.
Swiggy has a business model to accumulate restaurants and his own fleet of
delivery partners. Swiggy has a dual partnership model, as it benefits both the
customers and the restaurants who get the food orders.
Brand equity in the Marketing strategy Swiggy:
Swiggy has mastered the concept of bringing the food to the customers rather than
the customers to the restaurants for food. Swiggy has become a go-to-app when it
comes to delivering food at their doorsteps. Swiggy has become very popular
among the millennial customers of India.
Swiggy now aims to set kitchens jointly with restaurants for higher revenues. It
also aims to extend its services to Swiggy stores and expand their delivery
business into other products. According to a report, restaurants claim that they get
50% of their order from Swiggy and 20-25% from Zomato.
Swiggy clearly has a greater market share in the delivery business and is one of
the highest funded startups in India. The brand name Swiggy has become a
synonym for quick food in the customers head and expanding the business of
Swiggy will prove to be a good strategy.
28
Competitive advantage in the Marketing strategy Swiggy
The sharp focus on logistics:
Swiggy aims to control the entire value chain of the customer’s experience and
this strategy has helped in triumph in the market place. Swiggy has done many
things right and one of them is its excellent focus on logistics of the operation.
Swiggy from the beginning knew that to crack the delivery market was to build an
extensive network for logistics due to which Swiggy has built a sound and
sustainable business model.
Business strategy:
Swiggy was a late entrant in the online food delivery and ordering space in 2014
but it has now become a billion-dollar company and now Zomato is playing catch
up. Swiggy has its own growing fleet of delivery partners and the fleet is growing
with currently
1.25 lakh active partners.
This has allowed Swiggy to deliver its promise to deliver food within 30 min to
the customers with just a tap. Swiggy has recently launched the Swiggy Access
kitchen, which is the ready-to-occupy kitchen which is offered to restaurant
partners rent-free access with all required amenities, Swiggy aims to provide
assistance to the restaurant owners to optimize their kitchens in terms of demand
forecasting, stocks planning and order edits, etc.
Innovative strategies like these are a major point of differentiation for Swiggy.
Technology focus:
Swiggy is a food-tech company and has a core-logistics platform and Swiggy
heavily leverages technology to help customers and the restaurants get the best of
services. All the conditions are analyzed with the help of data analytics like the
traffic conditions, predict the preparation time for the restaurants depending on
the number of orders, location of the delivery executives to smartly provide them
with thedelivery time and promise to the end customers.
The partner restaurants get a snapshot of all the key operational metrics and also
all the financials. In the back end, Swiggy has analytics engines that mine
customer data to determine the preferences and helps Swiggy partner with the
right restaurants.
29
Competitive analysis in the Marketing strategy of Swiggy
The Indian food delivery market is valued at $15 Billion and is predicted to have
exponential growth. It has now become a very competitive market. Swiggy faces
tough competition from Zomato and other start-ups like Foodpanda and Faasos.
Uber eats has also been capturing Swiggy’s market share by providing cheaper
and quality food to the price conscious Indian customers. In Mumbai and
Bangalore, Google has also launched its delivery app called Areo.
The competition is getting tougher for Swiggy. Both Swiggy and Zomato has
been increasing its expenditure through incentives and discounts as they battle for
supremacy. The current burning of Swiggy is pegged at more than $16 million
and Zomato about $17-18 million.
Swiggy needs to get more creative in its business model to stay ahead of the
competition.
Customer analysis
Swiggy has two major customers, the restaurants from which it collects
commission from and serving as a delivery partner and the other customers are
the people who order food through the app. The main customer segments are the
people who do not want to go out to eateries and restaurants to buy food.
30
People who want to order food online and want it delivered in their doorstep. The
recent business expansion is through the groceries, electronics, flower and gift
shops. Promotion Strategy
Swiggy is now a very reputed brand and it’s not just because of its quality services but
due to its excellent social media strategy. On Facebook itself, Swiggy has 174K
followers which are highest among the competitors. Every campaign of Swiggy is
remarkable as they are extremely engaging and is very interactive.
The posts are light, appealing, have good quality and are humor based.
Campaigns like #EatYourVeggies, #SuperSwiggy, #EarnYourCheatMeal conved
the notion of eating healthy by using witty one-liners and puns. Swiggy has also
used influencers tomarket its services.
Swiggy also proves the number of discounts, rewards, and recognition to create

Conceptual Frame Work
3.1 Introduction
Food delivery apps are certainly one of the vital apps that any food lover will have
on their smartphones. And if you are a foodie then you definitely don’t just like
food but you “Love” food. You literally wait for your next meal. Well, you are
not the only one. There are millions of foodies who just incorporate food into
their lifestyle.
Nowadays, there are tons of useful mobile apps that are literally dedicated to
food. Right from piling up recipes, watching someone cook to ordering food
online, there are food delivery apps for every foodie.
Food delivery apps facilitate the delivery of meals from local restaurants or food
cooperatives. Online food delivery apps allow customers to order from a wide
variety of establishments with a single tap on a mobile phone
In 2011, Americans spent $69 billion on take-out. Almost all of it was placed over
the phone. From paper menus.
Grubhub CEO Matt Maloney
The main advantage of food delivery apps is the ease and simplicity they provide.
Customers don’t have to call to make an order and then go to a restaurant to pick
it up. Food delivery apps provide all of this in just a few clicks. Online services
enable customers to look for their favorite restaurants, view menus, place orders,
and pay.

3.3 Nature of Food Delivery Apps
Now let’s consider the key food delivery platforms and see what results they’ve
achieved

Success of key food delivery players

in funcling
2.

and 5,o00 drivers
3. g

active ussra Capitol and Inclsx Ventures
37
How have these companies achieved such success? Let’s consider what sources of
revenue the biggest food delivery platforms have and learn how food delivery
apps make money.
Delivery charges
If a restaurant doesn’t have its own delivery team, such kind of an app can take
care of delivery for a fee. Delivery fees can be a percentage of the order price or a
flat fee depending on distance.
Deliveroo applies this method of monetization. As report shows, Deliveroo made
£129 million from delivering restaurant food to сustomers’ homes. The
company’s revenue comes from a £2.50 charge to customers for each delivery and
commission charged to restaurant owners (generally 10 percent of the order
price). Deliveroo can typically generate £16.50 each hour per driver.
Since delivery charges are the main revenue source of all food delivery apps,
we’ve made a comparison table that shows the delivery fees of popular food
delivery apps.
DoorDash From $0.99 to $7.99 plus a service fee of 7–15% per order
Caviar From $1.99 to $8.99 plus a service fee of 18% on all orders
38
Foodpanda 10% commission along with 2% service charge
39
Advertising is another way that food delivery apps make money. A delivery app
can offer advertising to restaurants at additional cost. In a delivery app,
advertising can mean listing a restaurant at the top of search results for a period of
time. This is one of the major sources of revenue for Swiggy. Swiggy charges
money to restaurant owners to feature their restaurants in the app. By being on a
featured list, restaurants are shown above others in search results and can attract
more customers.
UberEats makes money through advertising income from restaurant partners. Like
Swiggy, UberEats charges restaurant owners a marketing fee to feature their
restaurants.

5.2 Suggestions
● Most of the respondents felt the prices of delivery charges are high. The high
price is one of the reasons for consumer to ordering food through online. So
food apps can consider this and reduce their delivery charges.
● The online food ordering apps have to improve their restaurants sites and
menus to satisfy the consumer in a better way.
● Advertising plays a very important role in the purchase of a online ordering
foods as most Customers are like to purchase because of advertisements.
● As most customers were between the age group of 20- 30 years so the
company strategies should focus on that age group 20- 30 years.
● The company should focus on giving better quality product as most customers
were very brand loyal and were generally satisfied with the product.

over all consumer preference of Swiggy . In this study, the numbers of participants
were 50 and the type of questionnaire used was structured mailed questionnaire. In
this research paper, the main data used are primary and secondary data. It is
concluded from the study that the majority of respondents and they are aware of
Swiggy. The main limitations of this study were time limit, the sample size was small
and trustworthiness of the customer ’s. In this age of ever-increasing competition, it
is important for Swiggy to keep an eye on the preferences of the customers in order to
capture the largely untapped market.
On the basis of the study, it can be concluded that Swiggy has gained positive opinion
of majority of the consumers in comparison to other service providers. It is mainly
because of their better timely delivery and offers like discounts and freebees. Swiggy
has been in the top position in online food delivery service providers and if it
improves further, it can remain in the top. The biggest difference between Swiggy
andother food delivery start-ups is the fact that they have their own delivery fleet and
serve from neighborhood restaurants. The boys are equipped with smart phones
powered by routing algorithms which enables them to deliver food in the most
efficient way possible.
