Use of Swiggy IPO Proceeds

Swiggy faces stiff competition from Zomato in India’s rapidly growing online food delivery and restaurant services market. Both companies have also made significant investments in quick-commerce, aiming to revolutionize the delivery of groceries and other products within 10 minutes.
Despite its market presence, Swiggy has faced financial challenges, reporting losses since its inception. For the financial year ending March 2024, the company posted a net loss of Rs 2,350 crore, an improvement from Rs 4,179 crore in FY23 and Rs 3,628 crore in FY22.
However, Swiggy’s revenue has shown significant growth, with total revenue from operations doubling to Rs 11,247 crore in FY24, up from Rs 5,704 crore in FY22. This reflects the company’s expanding operations, even as it continues to struggle with profitability.
