Swiggy steps on the gas on 10-minute food delivery even as Zomato hits the brakes

Swiggy and Zomato, major food delivery services, are adopting different approaches to quick delivery. Swiggy’s Bolt offers 10-minute deliveries in 500 cities, boosting user retention and orders. Conversely, Zomato has discontinued its Zomato Quick service due to infrastructure challenges and low demand. Both platforms face sector-wide slowdowns, while burgeoning competitors like Zepto Cafe and startups Swish and Zing expand rapidly. Zomato plans to enhance delivery efficiency by reducing 30-minute delivery times.
