What India’s Offices Are Eating

Swiggy has shared some early insights from its pilot phase of DeskEats. The data reveals distinct preferences across cities. In the Stress Munchies segment, Bengalurians gravitated towards Chicken Popcorn, while Mumbaikars reached for Fries. Gurugram’s top pick? Garlic breadsticks.

Meanwhile, Healthy Nibbles saw salads dominate orders across cities, indicating a clear shift towards health-conscious choices even during packed office hours.

Mumbai Leads Adoption

Among all the cities, Mumbai emerged as the most active user base for DeskEats. Interestingly, the One-handed Grabbies segment—designed for easy, utensil-free eating—accounted for nearly 30% of all DeskEats orders, showing a preference for meals that maximise convenience and minimise disruption during work.

Building on Corporate Engagement Strategy

DeskEats is not Swiggy’s first foray into the workplace consumption space. Earlier this year, the platform introduced a corporate rewards program aimed at office employees across 14,000 organisations. Within just three months, over 1.5 lakh employees participated in the initiative, underscoring the growing appetite for curated food services in the corporate world.

With DeskEats, Swiggy appears to be doubling down on this momentum, offering a service that aligns with modern work culture—quick, tailored, and just a tap away.
