Swiggy has launched a new feature called DeskEats, designed to cater specifically to India’s growing base of working professionals. The service is now live across 30 cities and more than 7,000 office zones including tech parks, corporate towers and business centres.
With a menu pool of 7 lakh items from over 2 lakh restaurants, DeskEats is positioned as an everyday lunch-and-snack solution for the time-starved workforce. Users can access the feature by simply typing “office” or “work” on the Swiggy app.
The offering includes curated categories like ‘deadline desserts’, ‘one-handed grabbies’, ‘value combos’, and ‘healthy nibbles’ to suit the range of moods and meal moments in a workday. Swiggy says the intent is to blend convenience with discovery while keeping pace with modern workplace routines.
The rollout comes on the heels of Swiggy’s Corporate Rewards programme, which has seen uptake from 14,000 companies and reached 1.5 lakh employees in just three months.
“DeskEats is our answer to the hustle of the office grind. It’s built around the rhythms of a working day,” said Deepak Maloo, VP, Food Strategy and New Initiatives.
While Swiggy expands on the food front, it’s also diversifying. In June, it launched a lifestyle concierge app called Crew, followed by Pyng, a professional services marketplace. At the same time, the company has sunset its delivery service Swiggy Genie.
Financially, Swiggy’s Q1 FY26 performance was a mixed bag. Net loss widened to ₹1,197 crore, nearly double from last year’s ₹611 crore. However, revenue climbed 54% year-on-year to ₹4,961 crore. Losses from Instamart touched ₹797 crore, triple from last year, though sequential growth was marginal.
The company remains in expansion mode, with DeskEats marking its latest bet on India’s evolving urban appetite.
