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.
