According to a company statement, it boasts more than 150,000 restaurants on its platform and forms part of several of the swiftest ways to meet the food demand of the world's most populous nation. Through the years, it has competed with some strong rivals like Zomato Ltd., Amazon's India unit, and Tata Group's BigBasket.
Under rivalry, the strength of Swiggy within the brand as well as customer loyalty have saved the company. The company was also supported by a global investor, the SoftBank Group Corp. It continues to expand its services beyond food delivery, such as grocery and essential delivery through Swiggy Instamart.

Filing its IPO now may be part of the overall strategy of Swiggy: to bolster its financials in addition to expanding its services to gain the competitive edge it needs.

In the event of a successful listing, it will make Swiggy sit at the same table as some of the biggest recent tech IPOs, including its rival Zomato. The IPO will also give an opportunity to investors to invest in one of the most successful startups of India, which would give Swiggy the much-needed resources to scale further.
