Jaimini closely worked with various teams to ensure that the technology and engineering function continued to be well placed to perform and excel, even during these unprecedented times.
“The last 6 years at Swiggy were undoubtedly some of the best years. We set off with a massive goal to disrupt the food delivery industry and change the way the country eats, and this made for an exhilarating experience,” said Jaimini.
Swiggy said the the recent round of US$ 156 million funding will further strengthen and expand services.
Before the lockdown, Swiggy connected consumers to over 1,60,000 restaurant partners and stores across over 520 cities.
