Swiggy teases doubling platform fee likely to offset losses ahead of planned IPO

Bengaluru-based food delivery aggregator Swiggy is reportedly testing a potential increase in its platform fee from ₹5 to ₹10 per food order. The move is seen as an effort to reduce losses ahead of its upcoming IPO later this year. Swiggy had previously introduced a nominal fee of ₹2 in April, which was later expanded to all customers. The company's push to increase its user base aligns with its IPO plans and comes at a time when the food-delivery market is experiencing slower growth. Finding the right balance in platform fees is crucial for maintaining customer satisfaction and order frequency in this dynamic market.
