Founded in 2024, Swish operates a full-stack model owning its kitchens, supply chain and delivery network, focusing on dense hyperlocal clusters with one-kilometre delivery radii. The startup now delivers about 20,000 orders daily, up from roughly 5,000 four months ago, across 10 micro-markets in Bengaluru.
