Podcasts about Swiggy

For nearly a decade, Swiggy and Zomato have fed our hunger and dominated prime real estate on our phone screens, leaving very little room for any serious challengers.Most who tried to break in got their fingers burnt before they even got started. But now, a new player has decided to throw its hat into the ring.  This is a player that has some experience taking on titans, though the last time around it was in a completely different space. Rapido – the Bangalore-based startup that quietly muscled its way into India's ride-hailing market  – is all set to launch its own a food delivery platform called 'Ownly'. Sure, Rapido's mission of zero commission, equal pricing in offline and online, and meals as low as ₹150 looks compelling,but the real question is: how will Rapido make money? Tune in.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we dive into Rapido's bold foray into food delivery with Ownly, a Mumbai founders' alliance called TEAM Angels aiming to back early-stage startups, and Info Edge Ventures' next big bets on AI and SaaS. We also track mid-sized IT firms racing towards the billion-dollar club and bring you the story of India's next space hero, Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, set to fly to the International Space Station on June 11.

A bottle of mango lassi, neatly sealed and within its expiry date, erupts like a shaken soda—over-fermented and undrinkable. Delivered in 10 minutes from a quick commerce dark store, it should’ve been safe. But it wasn’t. And it isn’t an isolated case. As India’s quick commerce boom races ahead with 10-minute deliveries, dark stores—those invisible micro-warehouses powering your convenience—are quietly falling short on food safety. From broken packaging and stale bread to near-expiry edible oils and infestations, hygiene violations are slipping through the cracks. With fragmented regulations and overstretched operations, are we walking blind into a public health risk? Host Anirban Chowdhury speaks to ET’s Ratna Bhushan and Dr Arun Gupta, convenor, Nutrition Advocacy in Public Interest, about the systemic hygiene failures inside dark stores, the medical risks of spoiled food, and whether consumer convenience is quietly compromising our safety.

Pyng, launched on 15 April, is quite a departure from Swiggy's core food-focused business. The service marketplace, uncharted territory for Swiggy, is offering services of “verified professionals” (think therapists, chartered accountants, and even energy healers). No, it's not a modified version of Urban Company. At least, not yet. For one, the latter offers standardised services comprising blue collar workers.But why exactly is Swiggy, a company with a market capitalisation of over Rs 80,000 crore, diversifying its business?Tune in.

In March this year, a software developer that goes by Pea Bee online published a blog rather ominously titled ‘Everyone knows all the apps on your phone'. He found that several Indian app-based startups are flouting rules of Google Play—Android's app store—to access people's data.  In particular, some apps use a workaround to scrutinise the names and usage patterns of other apps on people's phones. In real time.Now, the fact that apps have a lot of your data may not be a surprise to you. We've been pretty cavalier about our data for some time now. Remember Digi Yatra? But the scary thing is that Indian companies are equally nonchalant about the user data they collect. The result? Data-security breaches have been on the rise. So what is a data conscious Indian customer to do? Tune in. If you have any thoughts or questions about this episode, send them to us as texts or voice notes on Daybreak's WhatsApp at +918971108379. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we decode India's rising drone power post Operation Sindoor, the ripple effect on e-commerce and IT companies, and how travel firms are boycotting Turkey and Azerbaijan. We also break down Swiggy's Q4 numbers — rising revenue, but soaring losses. Plus, a cyber alert across banks and NPCI as tensions rise.

Four months ago, food delivery giant Zomato decided to run an experiment. If you are a regular patron of the app, you may have noticed a tab called ‘Quick' appear, that promised 15-minute deliveries in a bunch of metropolitan cities like Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi NCR. Now, the company's founder and CEO made an interesting statement last year that explains why it would choose to try out this experiment. He was asked a question about how quick commerce has changed customer expectations around food delivery. And he said, quite simply – “Blinkit is fast, but that has made Zomato seem slow.” He has a point. You may recall that Zomato subsidiary Blinkit launched its in-house 10-minute snack delivery service called Bistro last year, just one day after the very popular Zepto cafe was launched. Swiggy Instamart meanwhile, launched a similar service called Snacc. In many ways, 2024 was the year 10-minute food delivery became the next frontier of quick commerce.Naturally, the biggest food delivery giants in the country did not want to be left behind. So while Zomato launched Quick, Swiggy rolled out its own ultra-fast delivery service, Bolt. But here's where things get interesting. While announcing its Q4 results last week, Zomato announced that its four-month experiment was very quickly coming to an end. In a letter to shareholders, Deepinder Goyal explained that they just could not see a path to profitability without compromising on customer experience.The Ken's COO and the host of Two by Two Praveen Gopal Krishnan explains what changed. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we break down how Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart are dominating India's quick commerce race with over 4 million daily orders. Swiggy shuts down its Genie service, while TCS slashes variable pay and delays hikes for senior staff. In the EV world, TVS edges past Ola in April sales. Plus, YouTube tests a two-person Premium plan in India.

Right now, it feels like Blinkit and Zepto are everywhere. In Delhi, where I live, it's as if people's days are incomplete without ordering one thing or the other through these apps. Delivering groceries and shampoos in ten minutes is one thing, but now, quick commerce is expanding. In March, Zepto announced that it's going to join Blinkit and Swiggy and also begin delivering...iPhones. But, who's buying? In this episode, we'll learn about the rapid expansion of India's quick commerce industry. From selling groceries in the pandemic, now, quick commerce apps even sell iPhones. How the hell did we get here?

You've surely heard of the term of the term enshittification? In case you haven't, it was coined by blogger and journalist Cory Doctorow. He defined it as the pattern in which online products and services decline in quality over time.This decline or decay has started to show in Indian Consumer tech products as well, resulting in an experience for customers that is much worse than what was promised. From seemingly unharmful dark patterns to unnecessary cross-selling, the spectrum lies wide sour digital experiences for a customer today.And why they're doing this is quite simple.These products first got your trust and managed to delight you by delivering on their promise. Then, they made that promise available for a price. Fair enough, if it's good, then surely the promise has a price you should be willing to pay. Now, we seem to have arrived at a point where they're asking more to deliver that same promise. They want to extract more money from a customer's wallet. What forces them to do so becomes the next question.This enshittening and many more ways in which many of the platforms we use have aged badly was the core of the discussion in this week's episode of Two by Two. Joining hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan are Aditya Suresh, head of India equity research at Macquarie, and Abhishek Madan, ex-VP of Product at Paytm*Aditya brought the market's perspective to the discussion with his sharp insights, how the experience could be different based on whether a company is public or private, and what gets talked about in both contexts.

In this Telugu Podcast episode, we sit down with Rahul Attuluri to decode the real problems and opportunities faced by India's youth today–AI, UPSC, Education Reform, Gig Economy & Career Building. From AI revolution downgrading IT jobs to the gig economy impact on graduates (Zepto, Swiggy, Rapido), and the hidden traps in UPSC preparation, Rahul shares brutally honest insights.We dive deep into how India's brightest talents are getting stuck chasing marks over real skills, how parenting mindsets and outdated education systems are misguiding students, and why the future belongs to thinkers, not just toppers. Rahul talks about his journey of building NxtWave into a ₹2000+ Cr valued company, disrupting education with NIAT, and solving the true problem — transforming thousands of lives with skill-first learning.This conversation also covers important topics like the fake certificate mafia, IIT vs non-IIT mindset, AI's role in future wealth creation, and why continuous upskilling (not just degrees) is the real key to success. We discuss the stark contrast between China investing in AI and tech vs India's obsession with food-tech startups, and what needs to change to build a powerful, future-ready India.If you're a student, working professional, parent, entrepreneur, or someone passionate about career growth, tech disruption, and education reform in India, this episode might be for you.

On January 20th, the online publication The Head and Tale broke the news that two of India's largest payment aggregators and gateways, Razorpay and Cashfree, were severing ties with India's largest payment orchestrator or router, Juspay.Payment gateways are the simplest. They simply facilitate a payment transaction between a merchant's website and a bank. But because these days, we have so many ways to pay. Cards, UPI, net banking, wallets, etc. Many payment gateways also aggregate these methods and offer customers and merchants a choice.Hence, they're payment aggregators.Now most leading gateways are also aggregators. This includes Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU, Paytm*, etc.The most important layer right now, and the topic of today's discussion, is orchestration or routing.Like a conductor in an orchestra, orchestrators sit above payment gateways and payment aggregators and determine who gets to play.What that means is when a customer is trying to do a transaction on a merchant's site, the orchestrator or router assigns it to a particular payment gateway or aggregator depending on various things like where success rates are high, who's offering competitive rates, etc.That's what happens with large organizations like Flipkart, BigBasket, Swiggy, etc.For instance, you must have seen when you're trying to make a transaction on any of those sites after you enter your card details; you must have seen the Juspay modal, or briefly, website appear when you're trying to enter your OTP, or it's fetching that.That's what Juspay does.It sits above payment aggregators and gateways, and it kind of plays this conductor role, assigning transactions to where they are most likely to succeed or where they are most competitively priced for the merchant that Juspay is operating with.That's the topic of today's discussion because Razorpay and Cashfree decided to stop working with Juspay.Now that's very interesting, and it's essentially the trigger to what we'd like to think of as sort of like a much larger war which is going to break out with one set of payment aggregators on one side and the other side another set of payment aggregators, and of course, Juspay.Joining hosts Rohin Dharmakumar for the discussion are Vimal Kumar, founder of Juspay; Anand Balaji, co-founder of Xflow and former India head for Stripe; and Abhishek Madan, who used to be vice president of Product at Paytm*.Welcome to episode 28 of Two by Two.*Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma is an investor in The Ken.–Additional reading:Razorpay and Cashfree woke up and chose violenceAdditional listening:Why Stripe could not become the Stripe of India–Help us find interesting women guests by filling out this survey - https://theken.typeform.com/to/KH0EOLGo–This is a free 30-minute version streaming on all podcast streaming platforms.

When the much-awaited Swiggy IPO took place in November last year, many HNIs make put in their money into the company. Some made smaller investments of more than Rs 2 lakh and the others who bought stocks for over Rs 10 lakh. But they weren't buying stocks because they believed in the real value or long-term potential of these shares. They bought them because they assumed someone else will buy them at an even higher price. The Ken reporter Suprita spoke to a VP of a Bengaluru-based unicorn. They told him that they just though they were getting a good deal at a discounted price. They even sold off some of their SIPs and even their Zomato shares. When many HNIs buy unlisted stocks before a company's IPO, they drive up the stock price. But once the pool of these HNI buyers dries up, the bubble bursts.It is the theory of greater fools and it played out during Swiggy's IPO when  brokers pitched Swiggy shares as a piece of India's hottest food-delivery and oldest quick-commerce giant, that too at a discount.But a discount to what?Because Swiggy's market capitalisation is right now stands at under $9 billion as compared to its listing valuation of $13 billion. So what happens to HNIs like the unicorn VP who bought Swiggy shares before its IPO?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.
