Swiggy, India’s pioneering on-demand convenience platform, announced the launch of ‘Project Next’, a new initiative designed to provide career growth opportunities for delivery partners while accelerating restaurant onboarding. It is a part of the platform’s larger initiative Swiggy Skills, which offers skilling, training, internship, and employment opportunities in its value chain.
By transitioning qualified delivery partners into the role of sales executives, it aims to enhance restaurant expansion across 150+ growing markets and offer delivery partners a meaningful career advancement. Delivery partners will take on a new role within the company. They will be responsible for onboarding and managing Swiggy’s growing restaurant network, especially in tier 2 and tier 3 cities, offering restaurants high-quality support on the platform.
Rohit Kapoor, CEO, Swiggy Food Marketplace, said, "Swiggy works with nearly 4 lakh delivery partners across India. While many value the platform for flexible earning opportunities, some aspire for more. To empower this group, we launched Project Next under our Swiggy Skills initiative. This unique program helps delivery partners transition from “blue collar” to “white collar” workers. It is heartening to see that within weeks of launch, hundreds of partners under ‘Project Next’ have already onboarded over 360 restaurants."
