What is Swiggy Go?

In a nutshell, Swiggy Go is nothing but an instant pick up and drop service to send packages anywhere in the city. Like Swiggy Stores, Swiggy Go will also be part of the app, the company said in a statement. Swiggy Go can be used to pick up and drop off laundry, get forgotten keys, send lunch boxes from home to office or even deliver documents or parcels to clients, it added. Swiggy also announced the expansion of its Swiggy Stores to Bengaluru and Hyderabad.  Bengaluru will be the first city in the country to experience Swiggy do the last-mile delivery for everything, not just food, he added. Swiggy's dedicated fleet will make all the deliveries for Swiggy Go and Stores. This will give the company's delivery partners access to an additional avenue for income, the statement said. All delivery partners engage with Swiggy on principle to principle basis and receive life insurance, medical and accident coverage, it added.
