The foodtech giant Swiggy has launched DeskEats, a new product created especially to serve Indian working people. According to a statement from the company, the offering is currently accessible in over 7,000 tech parks, business centres, and corporate complexes spread across 30 cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurugram, Pune, and Kolkata.
DeskEats: Swiggy’s New Offering for Office-Goers
According to Swiggy, DeskEats offers about 7 lakh menu options from over 2 lakh establishments. Entering “office” or “work” in the Swiggy app will activate the feature. Value combos, stress munchies, deadline desserts, sip-tastic fuel, one-handed grabbies, healthy nibbles, and teamwork bites are just a few of the carefully curated collections that make up DeskEats.
How DeskEats Works: Smart Menus for the Workday
Each category is made to cater to a particular workday situation, such as a quick snack in between meetings or a solo desk lunch. According to the company’s statement, DeskEats is designed to satisfy the changing demands of customers looking for a convenient meal delivery service that they can enjoy at their desks throughout the workday.
Corporate Rewards Program Gains Momentum
Three months have passed since Swiggy’s Corporate Rewards program was introduced, which enables businesses to provide carefully chosen Swiggy perks to their staff as part of wellness campaigns or workplace incentives. According to Swiggy, the initiative has received excellent feedback from 14,000 businesses and 1.5 lakh workers.
According to Deepak Maloo, vice president of Swiggy’s food strategy, customer experience, and new projects, corporate professionals today are more time-constrained and have more options than ever before. Swiggy has rethought how meal delivery fits into a hectic, high-achieving workplace with the introduction of DeskEats.
Zomato for Enterprise: The Rival Response
Zomato, Swiggy’s rival, introduced Zomato for Enterprise (ZFE) last year to accommodate business-related orders from corporate staff in response to the needs of working professionals. The goal of Zomato’s service is to make managing food expenses easier for businesses and their staff.
Swiggy Expands Beyond Food with New Apps Like Crew and Pyng
Swiggy is now launching a lot of new products, and they’re not just food delivery services. In June, the foodtech major introduced a concierge service for travel and lifestyle via a brand-new app named “Crew.” Crew is a customised concierge app made to help customers with a variety of routine and unique chores.
Pyng, Swiggy’s professional services marketplace app, was also released earlier this year. Swiggy Genie, the company’s delivery service, has been paused while it aggressively tests out new offerings. Swiggy released its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2025–2026 (Q1 FY26) last week. As it kept making investments to grow its rapid commerce activities, the company’s deficit increased in the first quarter. In the June quarter, the company’s net loss increased by 96% to INR 1,197 Cr from INR 611 Cr in the same period last year.
Q1 FY26 Financial Snapshot: Losses Grow, Revenue Surges
The company’s loss increased by 11% from INR 1,081 Cr on a sequential basis. On the other hand, Swiggy’s top line grew significantly. In Q1 FY26, operating revenue increased 54% to INR 4,961 Cr from INR 3,222 Cr in the same quarter last year. This represented a 12% rise over INR 4,410 Cr on a QoQ basis. Although Instamart’s loss during the reviewed quarter nearly tripled to INR 797 Cr from INR 280 Cr a year earlier, the rise was only 3.3% sequentially from INR 771 Cr.
