What happened

It raised $24 Mn, less than six months after a $38 Mn round

Why it matters

The company targets 1,000 kitchens in five years as rivals shut similar services

The details

  • Swish raised $24 Mn in the past week, around 13 September 2026.
  • The previous round of $38 Mn was raised less than six months before this one.
  • Swish owns its kitchens, prepares food and manages delivery — it is not an aggregator.

  • The company operates in 50 pincodes across Bengaluru and Delhi NCR.
  • It currently has around 55 kitchens, including its Delhi NCR entry.
  • Food gross margin is ~60%-70% on an average order value of ₹250, and gross profit per order is ~₹160 before kitchen, delivery and corporate costs.
