Zomato Welcomes Swiggy

Although the company was welcomed to Dalal Street with a muted response, Swiggy's biggest rival, Zomato, in a gesture of goodwill, welcomed the brand as it entered the corridor of equity markets.

In a post on X, through its official handle, Zomato said, "You and I... In this beautiful world ❤️ @Swiggy."

Swiggy was quick to respond. The newly listed company marked the response in a reply to the original post by Zomato and said, "it’s giving jai and veeru"

The Delivery World

Deepinder Goyal-led Zomato was listed on the equity markets in July of 2021.

Swiggy, apart from its food delivery service, also offers grocery and essential delivery through its Swiggy Instamart service. It also has the Swiggy Genie service, which is a part of its portfolio. On the other hand, Zomato also has similar services under its belt. Zomato acquired Groferes, now Blinkit, to focus on its quick service business and had contributed significantly to its business. Other key players in the market include Zepto.
