Founders of Swiggy
Swiggy is an app that enables you to order food from restaurants in your area. It was founded by Sriharsha Majety, Nandan Reddy, and Rahul Jaimini in 2013. The company has a staff of more than 4000 employees who work remotely from around the world. They currently have offices in Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi (NCR).
The three founders had previously developed other apps together including Instacart India which was shut down after about 4 months because it wasn’t as successful as they’d hoped it would be when they started working on it. Their main goal with Swiggy was to create something that would help people get good food delivered to them easily so they could focus on other things while still being able to enjoy great meals at home or wherever else they happened to be eating out without having any problems with how long their food took coming back from where it came from before getting delivered into their hands again – this is what makes this company so special compared with most others like theirs out there!
Current CEO of Swiggy
Raghunandan is the current CEO of Swiggy since 2016. He is a former CEO of redBus and has previously worked at Yahoo Inc., Microsoft Corporation, and AT&T Inc.
From a humble background, this man has managed to become one of the most powerful people in India’s startup world!
