According to Swiggy’s blog post, the service aims to simplify equipment procurement by providing access to trusted suppliers at competitive prices. Restaurant partners can sign up through the Swiggy Owner app or online form and will be contacted by vendors to discuss equipment options.
This launch is part of Swiggy’s ongoing expansion spree. The company is also piloting “Yello,” a services marketplace connecting consumers with professionals like chefs and beauticians. Additionally, Swiggy unveiled “Seal,” an initiative boosting hygiene and food quality standards among restaurant partners.

Swiggy rolls out 10-minute food delivery
Other recent launches include Swiggy Bolt for 10-minute food delivery in six cities and Swiggy XL EV fleet for bulk orders in Gurugram. The company is also testing a premium membership program, Rare Club, with annual fees starting from INR 50,000.
Swiggy’s rival, Zomato, already offers a similar restaurant service option, helping with operational requirements like hiring, FSSAI registrations, and taxation. Both companies are competing in the foodtech and quick commerce markets.
Further, food delivery platform is also expanding its presence in the events and experience vertical, recently appointing former Lenskart executive Supriya Shankar as vice president. Zomato acquired Paytm‘s entertainment ticketing business for INR 2,048 crore to grow its “going out” vertical.
