The startup has already extended its services to parts of Bellandur and aims to establish 150 “delight centres” across major areas in Bengaluru.

In addition, Swish has announced plans to expand its operations to other Tier-1 cities in the near future.

Founded in 2024 by Shah, Ujjwal Sukheja, and Saran S, Swish oversees the entire process—from food preparation to delivery—operating within a compact 1.5–2 km radius.

Swiss Expansion Comes With A New Approach 

The company operates several cloud kitchens in Bengaluru’s HSR Layout and Bellandur areas. By the end of November, it plans to expand services to four Bengaluru regions, including new additions Koramangala and Sarjapur.

The startup claims to have about 70 to 80 unique stock-keeping units (SKUs) on the app, covering a variety of categories including indulgences, snacks, beverages, and meals. 

Commenting on the funding, Accel partner Abhinav Chaturvedi said, “Swish Raises Seed Funding. Customer expectations around delivery times have shifted with the rise of quick commerce. 

Swish is tackling this challenge with a new approach, rethinking the supply chain to bring the same ultra-fast experience to food delivery through their delight centers.”
