VENTURE YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD KIRANA STORE has some more competition. Popular food-tech unicorn Swiggy has started delivering groceries, from both online and offline stores, to your doorstep through its new service, Swiggy Stores.

The Bengaluru-headquartered firm promises to deliver home essentials such as grocery, fruit and vegetables, and healthcare products to a consumer’s doorstep in less than an hour. It currently has about 125,000 active delivery partners. “Swiggy Stores extends the convenience of ordering food from nearby restaurants to ordering anything from any store across your city,” Swiggy CEO Sriharsha Majety wrote in a blog after the launch of the service.
