Swiggy, Zomato cut prices in response to Rapido's entry
Business
Swiggy and Zomato are cutting prices to keep up with Rapido, the latest player in food delivery. The McDonald's McChicken Burger Combo now goes for ₹199 in Mumbai and Bengaluru—cheaper than before—after Rapido launched its service in Bengaluru offering the same combo at ₹230 (including delivery and GST) but with a fresh approach.
How Rapido is changing the game
Rapido stands out by letting restaurants join with zero commission, so menu prices on their app match what you'd pay when dining in. No extra packaging fees either. With a huge fleet of four million riders, Rapido is making it easier for eateries to avoid high aggregator charges—and they're even testing a flat subscription model that could reshape how we order food online.
