Swiggy may soon deliver groceries, medicines and flowers to your doorstep
Nov 23, 2018 1:00 AM

Online food ordering and delivery start-up Swiggy is set to launch its local commerce services on December 15, Business Standard reported.

The Bengaluru-based company will tie up with supermarket chains, pharmacies, meat shops, pet stores, flower vendors and others and will ask them to give 2-3 percent incentives to the company on increased sales, the report said citing three people with knowledge of the firm’s activities.

The report added that the company will also charge a delivery charge fee on every order.

In the beginning, Swiggy is planning to attract customers by giving cash back offers and discounts, which will be phased out eventually.

The company will unveil its concierge service, which is internally called Dash and the name is bound to change once the service is announced, the report said.

In Pics | 14 major companies that filed for bankruptcy in 2020
Dec 24, 2020
2020 has been a brutal year for businesses, so much so that the volume of bankruptcies this year has surpassed that of 2008. From the travel and hotel space to the energy sector, businesses across industries suffered for months as the COVID-19-induced lockdown put brakes on economic activities across the world. However, retailers selling non-essential goods have been the worst-affected with many of these names emerging among the biggest bankruptcies of 2020. As per S&P Global Market Intelligence, 610 firms have filed for bankruptcies as of December 13, the highest since 2012. Retailers like J.C. Penney, Neiman Marcus, and J.Crew, car rental giant Hertz, mall operator CBL & Associates Properties are some of the names that have been listed in Fortune’s list of ‘14 of the biggest bankruptcies of 2020'. The 14 bankruptcies happen to be from the US as the valuations of liabilities remain higher than those of others. Here’s a look at these companies and their liabilities, as mentioned by Fortune:
