Bengaluru-based start-up Swish, which is currently servicing HSR (Hosur Sarjapura Road) Layout of the city, split netizens following its announcement that it would deliver fresh and hot meals to its customers regardless of the city's notorious traffic snarls.
Users raised a slew of questions, including the safety of food delivery drivers, as well as the 600-second time frame for cooking, packing, and delivering food.
Swish's founder, Ujjwal Sukheja, took to X to share the update, “After months of building in Stealth, Excited to announce that we are building Swish: 10-min food delivery app (@justswishin).”

Arrived in 15 minutes.
Was warm and tasty.
Ordering experience was good. Included seamless signup. Clean Interface.
Overall delightful. You won a happy customer. Kudos @ujjwal_sukheja @saranonearth @AniketShah30 https://t.co/Urafs22L7VThe concept of dark kitchen is emerging after dark Kirana stores.
Wouldn't it amount to too much food wastage? Why not simply become a tiffin service with fixed menu.August 4, 2024Advertisement10 minute food delivery? Would the food then be pre prepared and not made fresh.
August 5, 2024Idk how you are managing such quick deliveries but good luck 🚀💯
August 4, 202410 min good delivery? No way it's cooked fresh right? You will re-heat the already prepared dishes?
August 4, 2024Loved the food, especially how fast , fresh & hot it was served. Literally felt like someone made it in kitchen & brought it to us

Can't wait too how these folks grow & scale ❤️ https://t.co/dYLNffhI1g pic.twitter.com/itdglhw0JlThat sounds amazing!!!! Congratulations to you guys.
August 5, 2024Is 10 minute food delivery actually a need? It takes more time to cook something even in your own kitchen.
August 5, 2024All the best!
