Commenting on these results, Swiggy's Managing Director and Group CEO, Sriharsha Majety, stated: 'Our food delivery business delivered the highest profit and margin in its history, while we continue to unlock new category growth through Toing, our proprietary offering of affordable meals.'
He added that accelerated expansion had been achieved in the quick commerce space, as planned, and the necessary approval had been obtained to qualify as an India-owned and controlled company—a significant milestone for the business, the transition of which is underway.
Majety noted that the company believes differentiation will determine the winners in the quick commerce market, where speed and selection are becoming 'basic prerequisites'. He also emphasized that Swiggy views assortment as a curation exercise rather than a volume increase, aiming to allow consumers to buy better, not just offer more.
