Swiggy Proposes Board Changes to Qualify as Indian-Owned and Controlled Company

Swiggy is proposing changes to its board nomination framework to qualify as an Indian-owned and controlled company (IOCC) under India's Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). This move aims to meet regulatory requirements that both ownership and control rest with resident Indian citizens or entities. Currently, foreign investors hold nearly 60% of Swiggy's shares, and the company lacks a substantial Indian promoter group. The amendments also seek to rationalize legacy nomination rights and maintain management continuity as resident shareholding increases.
