Swiggy Shareholders Approve Foreign Ownership Cap to Secure Indian-Owned Status
Swiggy shareholders approved proposals to cap foreign ownership at 49.5%, enabling the company to qualify as an Indian-owned and controlled company (IOCC). This follows a similar proposal's rejection in May. The approved changes include amendments to the Articles of Association allowing co-founders to appoint and maintain majority control of the board. Achieving IOCC status will allow Swiggy, particularly its Instamart quick commerce business, greater flexibility to adopt inventory-led models under Indian foreign investment rules.
