Podcasts about Swiggy

Swiggy CEO Sriharsha Majety told Bloomberg in an interview last week that his company would stay out of the spending war being waged by Amazon, Flipkart, and Reliance in India's quick commerce market. He invoked the Airtel-Jio price war as a precedent, argued that chasing market share through discounts only postpones the problem, and said Swiggy has Rs 15,000 crore in the bank to play the long game.But Swiggy invented this category. And Blinkit, which came years later, now has twice the dark stores, twice the users, and losses that are narrowing. So is this a strategy or a rationalisation?Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

PayU Finance CEO Deepak Mendiratta explains how the company is reimagining SMB credit through embedded, data‑driven lending models that overcome long‑standing barriers like irregular cash flows, limited documentation, and the high cost of small‑ticket loans. PayU uses alternative credit evaluation based on UPI transactions, GST records, and behavioural insights, enabling more accurate underwriting. Its EDI—equated daily instalment—model aligns repayments with daily cash flows, reducing interest burden and stress for small businesses. Through deep integrations with platforms like PhonePe, Swiggy, and Meesho, PayU delivers frictionless, real‑time credit access. Robust risk management combines machine learning, daily repayment visibility, and short‑tenure loans, while ethical lending, transparency, and data protection remain core principles driving sustainable, inclusive credit growth.

India's economy is entering a more uncertain phase, with expectations of future RBI rate hikes building amid high crude prices, a weakening rupee and sticky inflation. Even so, manufacturing, exports and rural demand are showing signs of resilience. Markets remain expensive despite the recent correction, while companies are avoiding price hikes for fear of hurting demand and profitability. Swiggy's restructuring plans have run into shareholder resistance, highlighting growing governance scrutiny in the startup sector. Stress is also emerging in lending and energy markets, with tighter credit policies, falling coal inventories and rising dependence on gold loans reflecting caution across the economy.

In today's Tech3 by Moneycontrol, GIC doubles down on India's space-tech startup Pixxel even as Deepinder Goyal exits the ongoing funding round. We also break down why Swiggy failed to secure shareholder approval for its IOCC transition and what that means for Instamart's future. Plus, TCS improves variable payouts while delaying parts of its Wings upskilling programme amid a broader AI-led workforce recalibration. And finally, LTIMindtree announces a $186 million acquisition of Randstad's technology and consulting business across key global markets as it expands its AI and digital engineering capabilities.

Six months before India's first real credit cycle hit, one MSME digital lending founder quietly stopped approving 30% of his eligible borrowers. The full story of how Alok Mittal of Indifi Technologies read a signal that his entire industry missed, in conversation with host Akshay Datt. A former venture capitalist who walked away from Canaan Partners to build the unglamorous business of lending to small Indian shops, Alok Mittal has spent a decade proving that 85% of India's MSMEs are not uncreditworthy, the financial system simply cannot tell them apart. Indifi Technologies, which he co-founded in 2015, has disbursed over $497 million across 55,000 businesses in 400 cities, using machine learning that ingests real-time data from partners like Swiggy, Amazon, and BharatPe. In this conversation, Alok explains why human underwriters cannot psychologically distinguish a 1% risk from a 5% risk, why his team cut 30% of borrowers in September 2023 while the industry kept growing, and how India's first real credit cycle in a decade is separating disciplined MSME digital lending operators from those who only got lucky during a good cycle.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we break down the latest startup and tech developments shaping India's digital economy. Groww sees a nearly $500 million block deal as major investors eye partial exits ahead of lock-in expiry. Swiggy's Instamart slows down while Blinkit widens the gap in quick commerce. IIT Madras startup Mindgrove's commercial IoT chip rollout, NITES pushing for work-from-home amid fuel conservation calls, and how rising airfares and geopolitical tensions are driving Indians toward domestic travel and wellness tourism.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, Zepto gets SEBI approval for its IPO and eyes a raise of up to $1 billion. Swiggy narrows losses while Urban Company's aggressive InstaHelp expansion widens its burn. We also track leadership churn at Z47 and Fashinza, India's push for sovereign hosting of Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI model, and Kissht's stock market debut.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, UPI completes a decade with massive scale and now targets 1 billion users and deeper credit adoption. Swiggy sees key leadership exits and board changes. Spacetech firms rethink strategy as geopolitical tensions and war-linked controls shape satellite data access. Meanwhile, TCS reports strong deal wins but declining revenue, highlighting a shift toward AI-led, outcome-based models in IT services.

Shray sits down with Deepak Shenoy from Capitalmind to unpack the real playbook for NRIs thinking about investing in India — the taxes, the paperwork, the returns, and the traps nobody warns you about. What we uncover: The 3 types of NRIs who should invest in India — and the ones who absolutely shouldn't. Why patriotism and FOMO are the worst investment strategies. The real return math: 12% in rupees, ~8% in dollars after currency depreciation — and why falling inflation could change this equation entirely. Stocks vs. mutual funds vs. real estate: Why your passport decides your investment vehicle. UAE and Singapore NRIs get tax-free mutual fund gains; US and UK residents face PFIC nightmares. The paperwork horror: Why 5% of your portfolio in India creates more admin than the other 95% abroad — and why Deepak respects any NRI who's actually opened a Demat account. The "famous stocks" trap: Why buying Indigo, Swiggy, or Jubilant from abroad without local context is a recipe for pain. Great brands ≠ great investments. Moving back math: ₹2L/month puts you in India's top 1%. $500K in fixed income could fund your entire re-entry. And why you still shouldn't bring everything back. Deepak breaks down the Doordash minimum wage vs. Indian purchasing power, why small caps hold India's real growth story, and why NRI investing success is measured in rupees — not dollars. Chapters: 0:00 - Not every NRI should invest in India 1:36 - Who is this conversation really for? 3:54 - The 3 types of people who SHOULD invest in India 6:34 - You have family & money sitting idle in India 7:19 - You know you're coming back someday 11:44 - The worst reason to invest in India 18:16 - Stocks, mutual funds, real estate — where to put your money? 22:07 - Your 12% return is actually 8% (here's why) 29:43 - Is Indian real estate worth it for NRIs? 36:57 - The paperwork nightmare no one warns you about 37:26 - Where you live changes everything 38:09 - UAE & Singapore NRIs — this is your tax cheat code 40:07 - Why US & UK NRIs should avoid Indian mutual funds 45:25 - Why buying Indian stocks from abroad is risky 51:44 - Great company. Terrible investment. Here's the difference 1:03:15 - Should you move more money to India as you plan to return? 1:09:26 - What does winning actually look like? 1:16:29 - Invest with your head, not your passport

Last week, Rapido launched Ownly, its zero commission food delivery app and went straight for Swiggy and Zomato's throat.This is the same company that dismantled the Uber-Ola duopoly with just a simpler model, cheaper rides, and a very different idea of what India actually needs.Their weapon this time is zero commission. They're betting on restaurants that are fed up, customers who want cheaper food, and a rider fleet that's already in place.So we got Kunal Khattar, the investor who backed Rapido from day one and made 88x on that bet to break down whether lightning can strike twice. We also have Gautam Balijepalli, who runs one of the largest cloud kitchen operations in India and tells us what it looks like from the restaurant side.Along with our guests, Rahel Philipose and Praveen Gopal Krishnan discuss, can Rapido steal a bite from Swiggy and Zomato? Or is food delivery a completely different beast?_________This episode of Two by Two was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mix and mastered by Rajiv CN.If you liked this episode, please share it with your friends and family who would be interested in listening to the episode.

In today's episode of Moneycontrol's Tech3 Podcast, we break down Blinkit raising ₹450 crore from parent Eternal as the quick-commerce battle heats up with rivals Zepto and Swiggy also bulking up their war chests. We also look at why fintech startup Jupiter's stake deal with SBM India collapsed, and what it means for neobanks trying to become full-fledged digital banks. Plus, over 1,000 engineering graduates are still waiting for offer letters from Tech Mahindra, nearly a year after campus placements. And finally, the National Stock Exchange moves closer to its long-awaited IPO, appointing 20 merchant bankers and multiple global law firms for the proposed issue.

Swish launched less than a year ago with a simple promise: hot food in 10 minutes. It's already raised 16 million dollars, with another 30 to 35 million reportedly on the way. But the giants who tried this before — Zomato, Zepto, Swiggy — have all stumbled, scaled back, or shut down. The problem isn't the idea. It's the math. Small order sizes, a lack of dedicated riders and razor-thin margins. Swish and its investors thinks it has an edge the others didn't. But can a one-year-old startup crack what India's biggest food delivery companies couldn't?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Swiggy has launched Noice, a private label brand that's popping up across categories on Instamart. But is this a genuine brand-building play or just another experiment destined for Swiggy's product graveyard?In this episode, co-hosts Praveen Gopal Krishnan and Rohin Dharmakumar are joined by Sandeep Nair, co-founder of brand strategy consultancy David & Who and former Swiggy marketing director, and Mrunmayi Oke, SVP of Strategy at Zilo and former head of business at Dunzo. Together, they debate whether Noice is Swiggy's answer to Kirkland or closer to Amazon Solimo with ‘truck-style' packaging.The conversation explores short-term performance metrics and long-term brand building, why most private labels fail, what makes retailers like Costco and Aldi succeed, and whether Swiggy has the organisational discipline to stick with this strategy. They also discuss the economics of private labels and what it takes to build a brand that consumers actually trust.____This episode of Two by Two was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer.If you liked this episode, please share it with your friends and colleagues.

We also look at Wispr Flow's bet on voice-first AI inspired by Iron Man's Jarvis, actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu's growing startup portfolio, and why artificial intelligence and data centres could take centre stage in the Union Budget for FY27.

The recent disruption India's aviation sector due to IndiGo's crew shortage has thrown up questions about the concentration of powers in the hands of a few in the market across sectors. India's domestic aviation market is heavily concentrated. IndiGo and Air India together control close to 90 per cent of passenger traffic. Passengers were left without a backup when IndiGo faced a massive staff shortage, after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) implemented new rest and duty norms for the crew.  This is not unique to aviation. Across India's economy, several sectors have quietly settled into duopolies. In telecom, Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio dominate the market. Vodafone Idea and state-run BSNL struggle to stay competitive. In the digital economy, Amazon and Flipkart domiante the e-commerce sector, while, Uber and Ola lead ride-hailing. Zomato and Swiggy dominate food delivery sector. PhonePe and Google Pay command digital payments. Similar concentration exists in cement, steel, automobiles and other core industries. 2025 Nobel economic laurates Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt studied how companies invest in R&D to get patents to gain an advantage in the market. Their theory helps understanding how societies needs to support R&D to support economic growth. Power concentration is happens with innovation and the ability to raise investments. But concentration becomes a concern when it reduces consumer choice, weakens labour protections, or creates companies considered too big to fail. The IndiGo disruption has reignited that debate. As markets grow more concentrated, the key question remains — at what point should regulation step in to protect competition, workers and consumers?

Some sparked arguments in our inbox. All of them tried to do what we set out to do: spot hidden connections, ask unasked questions, and figure out what's really going on.This final episode is Rohin looking back at six moments from the year with clips from conversations that stood out. Between each one, he adds context and some behind-the-scenes perspective on why it mattered.Here are the episodes featured:Episode 26: Zomato, Swiggy, and the rise of the 10-minute "dark" caféEpisode 31: Airtel fights spammers.

Swiggy just raised a billion dollars in its IPO last year. Now it needs another ₹10,000 crores. That's not a great sign.On Two by Two this week, hosts Praveen Gopal Krishnan and Rohin Dharmakumar try to make sense of the chaos in India's quick commerce space. Joining them are Ashwin Mehta, head of research at Ambit Capital, and Anand Kalyanaraman, finance editor at The Ken.Here's what happened: Zepto suddenly dropped all fees, forcing Swiggy to scramble and match. Blinkit's CEO is out there declaring the bubble could burst any day now, even though his company is comfortably winning. And everyone's burning cash like there's no tomorrow.The conversation breaks down why this sector is heading for trouble. They argue India can only support around 12,000 dark stores, and we're already at 70% of that. They discuss why Swiggy keeps reacting to what Zepto does instead of leading its own way. And here's a striking stat: the average quick commerce user spends ₹45,000 a year per household. That tells you exactly who this market is really for and why it might be more limited than everyone thinks.It's a messy race where nobody's backing down and the next 12 months will decide who survives.________This episode was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer.If you liked this episode of Two by Two, please share it with your friends, family and colleagues who would be interested in listening.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we break down the biggest stories in startup and tech. Microsoft and Amazon go head-to-head with multi-billion-dollar investments in India, while Meesho delivers a strong market debut with over 40% premium. Swiggy attracts four times demand for its Rs 10,000-crore QIP as investors double down on quick commerce. And a major legal twist as the Delaware court reverses $1 billion damages ruling against Byju Raveendran.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we break down Microsoft's $17.5 billion investment commitment to India and what it means for the country's AI and cloud ambitions. We look at Blinkit CEO's bubble warning as Swiggy reloads capital through QIP and Zepto heads for an IPO early next year. Namma Yatri leans on government platforms for expansion beyond Bengaluru. And finally, Groww reveals how Gen Z is pushing families into equities as mutual fund participation is set to double.

India's restaurants just won a four-year battle for customer data access from Zomato and Swiggy. But here's the twist: this "victory" comes precisely as the industry becomes more platform-dependent than ever. While the NRAI celebrates phone number sharing, investors are pouring billions into QSRs and cloud kitchens—business models that assume permanent platform capture. With delivery platforms extracting 16-30% commissions and controlling discovery, logistics, and customer acquisition, data sharing is less a power shift and more a pressure valve. The real story? Restaurants are betting that platform-enabled scale will overcome platform-extracted margins.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

What makes a great venture capitalist — luck, timing, or the ability to see what others miss?Brij Bhushan (Prime Venture Partners) and Pratik Poddar (Nexus Venture Partners) talk about the long game of venture capital; the waiting, the lessons hidden in mistakes, and the emotional ride of backing founders through years of uncertainty.With Pratik, we dive into some of the biggest names in the Nexus portfolio: his first meeting with Rapido's founder before he even joined Nexus, the Meesho pitch that became a big miss, and his first call with Zepto's founders. Nexus was one of Zepto's earliest investors and has backed the company in every round since. Pratik speaks with great clarity about conviction, timing, and what truly defines great investing.Brij reflects on his decade of building Magicpin, what it means to “build the same company three times,” and how that journey reshaped the way he now works with founders. Having lived through the chaos of scaling, near-failure, and reinvention, he brings the founder's perspective back into venture capital.Together, Brij and Pratik capture the essence of the VC game — how the industry is evolving, why consensus rarely creates outliers, how real decisions are made inside funds, and why the best founders often seem “too early” rather than too late. We talk about everything that shapes a VC's everyday life, and above all why Brij and Pratik believe it's still the best job in the world.0:00 – Trailer01:59 – Biggest learnings from 10 years as a VC05:00 – Rapido as a counterintuitive bet06:49 – Meesho was a big miss10:20 – Why Venture capital is the best job?12:35 – Every meeting could be life-changing14:54 – Knowing you are NOT in an Operating role16:55 – How often are VCs wrong about market size?18:58 – Where to invest in Consumer companies?25:33 – How consumer VCs bet on behavior change27:12 – Is e-commerce truly built for young users?28:10 – How do Investors deal with Bias?30:04 – Are VCs only remembered for success stories?37:45 – Why good deals rarely come from Consensus?39:24 – The first call with Zepto's founders41:10 – How often do you meet truly exceptional founders?43:45 – Should VCs react to market shifts?46:42 – How long VC's take to make an investment decision?50:53 – How founders should approach fundraising54:27 – Can India produce 50 decacorns in the next few years?55:51 – Best way to play VC game is to have right fund size56:42 – Not Knowing is a pre-requisite for a VC1:00:41 – Exceptional founders have this superpower1:02:02 – Where Indian founders have a real edge1:05:14 – Building AI in India: local maxima or global maxima?1:09:00 – When will Indian Co's acquire Indian startups for $Billions?1:11:55 – Why Zomato & Swiggy aren't true Consumer Co's?-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.
