Coherent with this aim, the brand has launched a rider tracking feature across its digital ordering platforms – mobile-site, mobile app and desktop site.
With the new round of funding, Swiggy also see entry of new investors like China’s Tencent and hedge funds Hillhouse Capital and Wellington Management.
Currently such a service is offered by Bengaluru-based Dunzo which is backed by Google and Quikr as part of its Quikr Easy platform pitting Swiggy directly with the former.
"Both Zomato and Swiggy have been approached for a buyout, besides one larger horizontal company. But Rocket is yet to garner keen interest from possible suitors for Foodpanda," another source said.
