Swiggy has partnered with Zerodha Fund House to launch a new financial empowerment initiative that allows its delivery partners to start investing in mutual funds directly through the Swiggy Rider App. The programme enables delivery partners across India to begin their investment journey with as little as Rs 100.
The initiative is designed to help delivery partners build savings and financial discipline alongside their regular earnings. Through the integration, riders can choose to invest a portion of their income towards future goals such as purchasing a new vehicle, funding their children’s education, creating an emergency fund, or meeting long-term family needs.
According to the company, the investment process has been built to be simple, digital, and easy to access. Delivery partners can invest directly in Zerodha Fund House schemes through the Swiggy Rider App, while investment management and tracking can be done through Zerodha Fund House’s WhatsApp channel. The programme also offers flexibility, with no lock-in period on investments.
The move marks another step in Swiggy’s broader efforts to support the financial well-being of its delivery workforce, extending beyond earnings and incentives to include long-term wealth creation and financial planning.
Speaking on the launch, Saurav Goyal, Senior Vice President – Driver and Delivery Org, Swiggy, said “Our delivery partners are integral to the communities we serve, and we strive to positively influence their lives through initiatives that promote their safety, well-being, and long-term empowerment. With this partnership with Zerodha Fund House, we are making it easier for our delivery partners to invest their earnings and in turn, become financially independent as well as invest for their future. This is another step towards giving every partner access to financial tools that are designed for them.”
Commenting on the partnership, Vishal Jain, CEO, Zerodha Fund House, said “This is another example of how technology can make investing simple and accessible. For millions of gig workers, building long-term savings can be difficult when incomes are earned and spent in short cycles. A Swiggy delivery partner can now save a part of their weekly earnings into a mutual fund in a few taps and withdraw it whenever they need. And that first step, however small, is the beginning of a better financial life.”
