“We will continue to actively invest in reimagining employee experience, innovations in work and workplace experience to build a truly remote-first organisation,” Menon said.

Currently, Swiggsters are working out of 487 cities in 27 States and four union territories across the country.

Since 2020, Swiggy was among the first few organisations in the startup space to operate on a flexible working model for employees based on the nature of their work.

What is Swiggy’s Future of Work Policy?

Introduced in November 2021, Swiggy’s Future of Work policy is a flexible working model for all employees based on their nature of work. This ‘Future of Work’ Policy is structured under three mandates taking into account the different roles and locations across the organisation.

These mandates came into being when we started to think about what “work” would look like through and after the pandemic. We observed that employees were able to balance the needs of the organization while enjoying the perks of flexibility.

Currently, Swiggsters work out of 487 cities in 27 States and 4 UTs across the country. We believe that this policy offers employees the flexibility to build fulfilling

careers while balancing their personal life with great ease.
