Swish raises $24 million to expand quick food delivery in India

Swish, a Bengaluru-based quick food delivery startup, raised $24 million in a funding round this week, less than six months after securing $38 million.

Swish, a Bengaluru-based quick food delivery startup, raised $24 million in a funding round this week, less than six months after securing $38 million. Founded in late 2024 by Aniket Shah, Ujjwal Sukheja, and Saran S, Swish now processes over 1 million orders monthly, with order volumes tripling since March 2026. The company operates in 50 pincodes across Bengaluru and Delhi NCR, positioning itself as the only major player still scaling in the 10-minute food delivery segment in India, according to inc42.com.

Swish’s funding comes at a time when several competitors have scaled back or exited the quick food delivery market. Zomato, Swiggy, Rebel Foods, Zing, and Zepto Cafe have all reduced operations or shut down their quick delivery services. Swish differentiates itself by not following the traditional aggregator model popularized by Swiggy and Zomato. Instead, it has developed a distinct approach that has allowed it to sustain and grow its business despite the sector’s challenges, inc42.com reported.

The quick food delivery market in India has seen significant turbulence, with many well-funded companies unable to maintain their foothold. Swish’s ability to grow monthly orders threefold since early 2026 highlights its potential to establish a viable model where others have struggled. The company’s focus on rapid delivery within 10 minutes targets a niche that has proven difficult for larger players to scale profitably. This funding round underscores investor confidence in Swish’s strategy amid a consolidating market landscape, according to inc42.com.

Swish’s latest capital injection will support its expansion across Bengaluru and Delhi NCR, aiming to increase its service footprint beyond the current 50 pincodes. The startup’s growth trajectory and recent funding round mark a critical phase as it seeks to solidify its position in India’s quick food delivery sector. The company’s ability to sustain over 1 million monthly orders and triple volumes since March 2026 will be key metrics to watch, inc42.com noted.
