Under Bolt, Swiggy is offering deliveries of a limited set of items from select restaurants that will be delivered within 10 to 15 minutes.
“Ten years ago, Swiggy revolutionised food delivery by cutting average wait times to 30 minutes. Now, we’re reducing that wait even further for frequently ordered items like coffee, burgers, ice cream, and biryani, partnering with trusted restaurants to deliver the best food in just 10 minutes,” Rohit Kapoor, CEO, Swiggy Food Marketplace, said in a statement.
In Bengaluru, restaurants such as Wendy’s Burgers, Meghana Foods, Cure Foods’ Sharief Bhai, and Glen’s Bakehouse were seen on the Bolt service. Kapoor said the service is being rolled out in key markets such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, and Pune.
Customers can choose from a mix of well-known brands like KFC, McDonald’s, Burger King, Baskin Robbins, Starbucks, Chaayos, and EatFit, alongside local favourites like Karachi Bakery and G Pulla Reddy Sweets in Hyderabad, MM Mithaiwala in Mumbai, Bhartiya Jalpan and Anand Sweets in Bangalore, Sethi Ice-cream in Delhi, and Irani Cafe in Pune, among many others,” the company said in a statement.
Swiggy’s chief rival in the food delivery space, Zomato, had experimented with 10-minute delivery of food in Gurgaon back in 2022, but shut the pilot programme and instead launched Zomato Everyday.
