Online Food Delivery Start-Up Swiggy
To Start Advertisement Business
Online food
delivery start-up Swiggy said it plans to start ramping up its advertisement
business next year, targeting to generate as much as a fourth of its overall
revenue from that segment by 2020. The company is planning to start product
development for the business by the start of 2018, where it will be looking to
monetise relationships further with restaurant partners.

Majety, Co founder, Swiggy said “We are already making good amount of ad
revenue without making product suites that we wanted. It will be huge part of
our plan and important part of our revenue mix. Ad business would form 20-25%
of its net revenue by 2020. Food tech moment for India has arrived again. There
is a lot of interest in strong execution. Swiggy continues to get a lot
of interest from people who want to partner with us. We continue to remain an
independent company. The move is significant as Swiggy makes most of its
revenue from the delivery business, even as Gurgaon rival Zomato gets much of
the revenue through its profitable advertising business.
The
Bengaluru-based company, which is at the centre of consolidation talks with
players like Flipkart, Amazon, Paytm and Zomato, said it plans to continue as
an independent company while declining to comment on specific conversations.
