Bengaluru-Based Food Delivery Startup Swish Expands Operations to Gurugram

Swish, a Bengaluru-based rapid food delivery startup founded in 2024, has expanded to Gurugram, marking its first move outside Karnataka. The service operates through compact kitchens delivering cooked meals within 10-15 minutes in areas like Golf Course Road and Sushant Lok. This expansion follows a $38 million Series B funding round and reflects demand from customers relocating to the NCR. Despite early growth, Swish reported a net loss of Rs 19.1 crore in FY25, highlighting the capital-intensive nature of its model amid a market where larger players have scaled back ultra-fast delivery services.
