How Swish works and how it has grown
Swish is the only independent company still running 10-minute food at scale. It cooks in its own kitchens and delivers through its own app. Founded in 2024, it spent its first year and a half in Bengaluru only. By March 2026 it handled about 20,000 orders a day across 10 Bengaluru micro-markets. Four months earlier it was about 5,000.
After its March 2026 Series B ($38 million, led by Hara Global and Bain Capital Ventures), Swish moved into Delhi NCR. Gurugram now has the most kitchens outside Bengaluru.
In September 2026 Swish raised a further $24 million, led by Bertelsmann India Investments. It now handles over a million orders a month and aims for more than 1,000 kitchens within five years.
Swish compared with other 10-minute food apps
| App | Delivery promise | Outlets | Cities | How it delivers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swish | 10-minute delivery | 71 kitchens | 6 | Own kitchens; standalone app |
| Zepto Cafe | 10-minute delivery | at least 281 cafes | 27 | Cafe counters inside Zepto dark stores; available in the Zepto app and a separate Zepto Cafe app |
| Bistro by Blinkit | 10-minute delivery | 77 kitchens | 6 | Own kitchens run by Eternal; separate Bistro app. Eternal set up a subsidiary, Blinkit Foods, for food services in July 2025 |
Pick Swish for an Indian meal in Bengaluru or Gurugram, where it has most of its kitchens. In the rest of Delhi NCR, Bistro is more likely to reach you, and outside both regions only Zepto Cafe delivers.
