Swiggy, the online food delivery platform, announced on Monday that it now offers delivery services to tourists staying on houseboats on Dal Lake in Srinagar.
The company has collaborated with Shikara operators, who will help local delivery partners deliver orders directly to the doorsteps of the houseboats.
“The houseboat delivery by Swiggy exemplifies our commitment to providing unmatched convenience to consumers, wherever they may be,” stated Sidharth Bhakoo, National Head of Business for Swiggy Food.
“Our Shikara-based food delivery initiative underscores our dedication to catering to the varied requirements of our customers, whether they are wandering the city streets or unwinding on a houseboat,” he added.

Furthermore, the company stated that local delivery partners will be adequately compensated for their time, considering that these deliveries may take longer than standard on-road deliveries.
Swiggy stated that this provides restaurants with new opportunities to reach customers in distinctive locations and deliver their delectable dishes directly to their doorstep.
Swiggy, which launched its operations in Srinagar in 2022, boasts a platform with over 300 restaurants offering a diverse range of cuisines to both locals and tourists.
With a broad presence in the food delivery sector, Swiggy Food has partnered with close to two lakh restaurants across over 600 cities.
