India’s food delivery market has cracked speed, but not freshness. Most platforms still rely on third-party restaurants, long prep times, and inconsistent quality, especially during peak hours.
Bengaluru-based foodtech startup Swish has raised $38 million in a Series B round led by Hara Global and Bain Capital Ventures, with continued backing from Accel. Alteria Capital and Stride Ventures also joined the round.
The funding will be used to expand into multiple cities, invest in kitchen automation, strengthen supply chain infrastructure, and grow the team.
From kitchen operations to last-mile logistics
Founded by Aniket Shah, Ujjwal Sukheja, and Saran S., Swish is building a full-stack food delivery model that controls everything from kitchen operations to last-mile logistics.
The company’s core pitch is simple but ambitious: deliver fresh meals in under 10 minutes within a tight neighbourhood radius. By operating its own kitchens and limiting delivery distances, Swish claims it can maintain high food quality while keeping turnaround times fast.
Unlike traditional platforms, it does not rely on third-party restaurants, allowing it to maintain tighter control over quality, speed, and pricing.
Swish began with simple offerings like coffee and late-night snacks. As customer traction gained, they requested more, leading Swish to expand its menu to include breakfast, healthy bowls, protein options, festive specials, and desserts.
Now, over 20,000 people order from Swish daily.
