Food delivery aggregator Swiggy on Thursday launched the 'Swiggy Serves' initiative. Its aim is to reduce food waste and fight the problem of hunger. Under this program, Swiggy will collect leftover food from its restaurant partners and distribute it among the needy. Swiggy has partnered with the volunteer-run organization Robin Hood Army (RHA) for this initiative.

Robin Hood Army is a voluntary organization. Thousands of young professionals, retirees, housewives, and college students are associated with it. Giving information about the new initiative, Swiggy Food Marketplace CEO Rohit Kapoor said, "Currently Swiggy Serves scheme is running in 33 cities. We are planning to take this initiative to more cities. Its purpose is that no food is wasted."

Malnutrition is a serious problem in India.

According to the United Nations, there are about 19.5 crore malnourished people in India. This is one-fourth of the world's malnourished population. India's Global Hunger Index (GHI) score in 2024 was 27.3. Hunger was described as a serious problem in this. Also, India was ranked 105th out of 127 countries in the 2024 GHI. According to the United Nations, India wastes 55 kg of food per person every year.

This is why Swiggy Serves is considered a very meaningful initiative. Brands like Bikegane Biryani, Biryani by the Kilo, Dana Choga, Vardhas, Charcoal Eats - Biryani & Beyond, Dabba Garam, House of Biryani, B.Tech Momos Wala, Samosa Singh, Babai Tiffins, Dosa Anna, Urban Tandoor have signed up to be a part of the Swiggy Serves-RHA initiative.

Swiggy Instamart's separate app will come soon.
The market for quick commerce is growing rapidly in India. Instamart, a food delivery aggregator, is among the top companies in this segment. However, this facility is still available in Swiggy's main app. But, soon Swiggy Instamart will have its own app. The company is making full preparations for this.

Swiggy Instamart says that with the launch of a separate app, its millions of customers will get an even better shopping experience. Swiggy Instamart currently provides service in 76 cities of the country. The company is also continuously working on its expansion plan.
