What Swiggy's IPO prep means for its employees
Episode description
Foodtech giant, Swiggy, wants to raise more than $1 billion through its public offering that is scheduled for mid-2024. For this it is going by its last funding round’s valuation of nearly $ 11 billion.

Earlier this year, Swiggy CEO announced in a blog post that Swiggy’s food delivery business has finally turned profitable after 9 years of its inception. And by March next year, the company as a whole aims to become profitable.
But the company suffered losses with more than $ 500 million in FY 2023.
How does it plan to become profitable by March 2024?
Tune in to find out.
