History.
In 2013, the two founders, Nandan Reddy and Sriharsha Majety, designed an e-commerce website called Bundl to facilitate courier service and shipping within India. Bundl was halted, and was rebranded to enter the food delivery market. At the time, the food delivery sector was in turmoil as several notable startups, such as Foodpanda (later acquired by Ola Cabs), TinyOwl (later acquired by Zomato) and Ola Cafe (later closed) were struggling. Majety and Reddy approached Rahul Jaimini, formerly with Myntra, and founded Swiggy and parent holding company Bundl Technologies in 2014. The company built a dedicated delivery network and grew rapidly, primarily driven by the focus on logistics and locking in key resources.
In May 2020, Swiggy laid off 1100 employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In August 2020, the company launched their groceries delivery platform called InstaMart.
In 2021 the company announced that it would cover the vaccination cost for its delivery partners.
In March Swiggy set up Health Hub across Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
Investments and acquisitions.
In 2015, the company began attracting external investments. The first was a $2 million investment from Accel and SAIF Partners, along with an additional investment from Norwest Venture Partners. The next year, Swiggy raised $15 million from new and existing investors, including Bessemer Venture Partners and Harmony Partners.
In 2017, Naspers led an $80 million funding round into Swiggy. Swiggy received $100 million from China-based Meituan-Dianping and Naspers in 2018 and a string of investments boosted the company's valuation to over a $1 billion.
In February 2019, Swiggy acquired Bengaluru-based AI startup Kint.io.
In April 2020, Swiggy received around $43 million funding which valued the company at $3.6 billion.

It acquired a Mumbai-based milk delivery startup "SuprDaily" in an all cash deal. In 2019, the company invested Rs 31 crore in Mumbai-based ready-to-eat food brand Fingerlix. 
The company raised $800 million in Series J round funding from Falcon Edge Capital, Goldman Sachs, Think Capital, Amansa Capital and Carmignac, as well as existing investors Prosus Ventures and Accel valuing Swiggy at around $4.9 billion.
