Entrepreneurship – Defined
• Entrepreneurship is the act of being an entrepreneur, which can be
designed as “one who undertakes innovations, finance and business
acumen in an effort to transform innovations into economic goods.”
• The concept of entrepreneurship has a wide range of meanings. On
the one extreme an entrepreneur is a person of very high aptitude
who pioneers change, possessing characteristics found in only a very
small fraction of the population.
• The word entrepreneur originates from the French word,
entreprendre, which means “to undertake”. In a business context, it
means to start a business.
 Characteristics of a successful entrepreneur
1) Disciplined
These individuals are focused on making their businesses
work, and eliminate any hindrances or distractions to their
goals. They have overarching strategies and outline the
tactics to accomplish them. Successful entrepreneurs are
disciplined enough to take steps every day toward the
achievement of their objectives.
2)Confidence
The entrepreneur does not ask questions about whether
they can succeed or whether they are worthy of success.
They are confident with the knowledge that they will make
their businesses succeed. They exude that confidence in
everything they do.
3)Open Minded
Entrepreneurs realize that every event and situation is a
business opportunity. Ideas are constantly being generated
about workflows and efficiency, people skills and potential
new businesses. They have the ability to look at everything
around them and focus it toward their goals.
4)Self Starter
Entrepreneurs know that if something needs to be done,
they should start it themselves. They set the parameters and
make sure that projects follow that path. They are proactive,
not waiting for someone to give them permission.
5) Competitive
Many companies are formed because an entrepreneur knows that
they can do a job better than another. They need to win at the
sports they play and need to win at the businesses that they create.
An entrepreneur will highlight their own company’s track record of
success.
6)Creativity
One facet of creativity is being able to make connections between
seemingly unrelated events or situations. Entrepreneurs often
come up with solutions which are the synthesis of other items.
They will repurpose products to market them to new industries.
7)Determination
Entrepreneurs are not thwarted by their defeats. They look at
defeat as an opportunity for success. They are determined to make
all of their endeavors succeed, so will try and try again until it does.
Successful entrepreneurs do not believe that something cannot be
done.
8)Strong people skills
The entrepreneur has strong communication skills to sell the
product and motivate employees. Most successful entrepreneurs
know how to motivate their employees so the business grows
overall. They are very good at highlighting the benefits of any
situation and coaching others to their success.
 Swiggy

Swiggy provides on-demand food delivery platform designed to

provide food from neighborhood restaurants to the people. The
Company’s platform utilizes a smartphone application that has
local restaurants and their online ordering menu listed, from
which it provides delivery using a fleet of personnel, enabling
people to order food at their convenient places.
Brief History about Swiggy
Swiggy was founded by the trio of Rahul Jaimini, Sriharsha Majety and
Nandan Reddy. Swiggy begin its initial round of operations in
Bengaluru, they focused specifically on Koramangala which is one of
the upcoming neighborhoods in Bengaluru. They initially started
delivering with just six delivery executives and with only 25 restaurants
on its platform. Over a period of time, their business grew steadily with
currently 6000 delivery executives operating across Delhi, Mumbai,
Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata and Pune. This application was initiated in
the year 2014.

Sriharsha Majety
Vision
• Vision to revolutionize the
restaurant industry in India, by
familiarizing the general public
with the comfort of home-
delivered food.
Education
• Between 2003 and 2008 Sriharsha studied Electrical
and Electronics Engineering and M.Sc. in Physics
from BITS –Pilani. Thereafter he cleared level II of
CFA program before deciding to pursue PGDM in
Finance from IIM-Calcutta.
• Sriharsha Majety was employed as Summer Analyst
at Nomura International (a securities broker/dealer
firm) for a brief period in 2010. Later in 2011, he
joined the London office of Nomura International as
an associate at the rates trading desk. He left this
job after one year and decided to move back to
India to startup.
• Between August 2013 and June 2014, Sriharsha
with his mate from BITS Pilani, Nandan Reddy,
opened a logistics aggregator company to help e-
commerce firms. They named this company Bundl
Technologies. The idea did not take off and they
had to soon shut shop. Within next few months
Sriharsha launched Swiggy. There has been no
looking back for him since then.

Swiggy Management Team
 How was Swiggy started?
• After tasting bitter failure in Bundl
Technologies, a logistics aggregator
for e-commerce companies which
shut down in June-2014 as the
traction was low in that sector, BITS-
Pilani alumni Sriharsha Majety and
Nandan Reddy decided to focus on
the hyper local delivery business, an
area where there were no players
offering a complete food-ordering
and delivery solution.
• Swiggy, a food-ordering and delivery
start-up, was founded by Majety and
Reddy in Bengaluru in August 2014.
The duo reached out to IIT-Kharagpur
alumnus Rahul Jaimini, who had quit
his job at Myntra and was looking for
an opportunity to turn entrepreneur.
All three decided to implement this
idea of Swiggy.
 Success for Swiggy
• One of the main reasons for their success is their business model. Swiggy
has its own set of delivery executives who are equipped with a smart
phone and a Swiggy app which thereby helps the user to track their
delivery through map integration. Swiggy doesn’t have minimum order
policy, which makes it more affordable for users apart from that they
charge a delivery fee.
• On orders higher than the original amount, Swiggy takes commission from
the restaurant. Usually, Swiggy lists restaurants on their website which
gives only 15-25% commission on orders. Swiggy differentiates itself from
other competitors like Zomato and Food Panda by specializing in food
delivery services rather than food ordering services. Minimum delivery
time for Swiggy is just 37 minutes which is pretty high and they stand just
next to Domino’s who deliver in 30 minutes.
How does Swiggy work?
• Swiggy offers a integrated ordering solution by deploying multiple
proprietary apps, including a vendor management app provided to
restaurant partners, and a delivery app powered with routing
algorithms, provided to driver partners.
• When a consumer places an order with Swiggy through the iOS or
Android apps or website, the order is immediately transmitted to
the merchant and the right driver, based on availability and
distance from the restaurant, is attached to the delivery.
• The merchant confirms receipt of the order and starts preparing
the food, while the driver reaches just in time at the restaurant to
collect the prepared food and deliver to the customer. In-app
navigation facilitates hassle-free delivery.
Mission of Mr. Majety
• "Swiggy's goal is to revolutionize the food delivery market in India by
providing a cheap, fast and efficient alternative to taxing the already
short-staffed restaurateurs. There are several existing and even more
upcoming food-ordering platforms in the country, However, Swiggy
sets itself apart from the competitors by having their own delivery
fleet, thereby minimizing the risks in delivering an order," claims
Majety.
• Swiggy currently has 650 delivery executives from diverse
backgrounds - college students working as part-time and full-time
employees.
Funding to the start-up
• Swiggy had raised $2 million from venture capital funds SAIF
Partners and Accel Partners in April 2015, and $16.5 million in
a Series-B round from Norwest Venture Partners (NVP) and
existing investors SAIF and Accel in June this year.
• The company proposes to utilize these funds to consolidate its
footing in restaurant delivery and expand rapidly across the
country.
• Russian billionaire Yuri Milner, who had earlier invested in
Facebook, Ola, Housing.com and Xiaomi, is said to have been
looking at backing Swiggy. However, no comments are made
on the same.
Most recent funding (08/02/2018)
• Swiggy said it has raised $ 100 million in a Series F funding round led
by Naspers, the global internet and entertainment group. New
investor Meituan-Dianping, China's largest group-buying and
restaurant review service, has also participated in this round. This is
the largest financing round yet for the Bengaluru-based company.
• With this new funding, Swiggy said it will further strengthen its
market leadership position by introducing a host of unique and
advanced products and services. It will also make investments in its
new supply business line to solve existing supply gaps in the
marketplace.
Future targets of the company
• Swiggy said it will also continue innovating its core technology platform,
especially in the areas of data-driven self-learning systems that leverage
machine learning and artificial intelligence. The company said it will build
on its adaptive, real-time prediction and optimization systems. This will
further improve consumer choice and personalization, along with speed,
volume and efficiency of deliveries, according to the firm. Currently, the
company promises to deliver food in about 35 minutes.
• Since the last round of funding, Swiggy has introduced a slew of new
initiatives like Swiggy Access,' long-distance deliveries’ and 'Capital Assist'
to help restaurants serve consumers in new and more powerful ways. The
company also strengthened its senior leadership with several additions to
the team
Swiggy Access – Explained by Mr. Majety
• Swiggy Access is a sales model for restaurants to expand into areas
which they want to but cannot because of capital issues. Restaurants
don’t have to invest in terms of real estate but can quickly launch in a
certain area. It aims to provide consumers with the choicest food
options in their neighborhood, along with Swiggy’s seamless delivery.
These ready-to-occupy kitchens will offer restaurant partners a basic
setup with the required amenities. No rent or deposit will be charged
for premises. Partners will be able to leverage Swiggy insights to
improve their food quality through consistent consumer feedback.
We have launched a restaurant insights app for owners where they
can get real-time information on how their business is doing.
Capital assist – A step towards advancement
• Swiggy has decided to join hands
with fintech company Indifi
Technologies to provide working
capital loans for its partner
restaurant under Swiggy Capital
Assist.
• With more than 18000 restaurants
under its belt, the online food
delivery platform will provide
capital especially to the restaurants
who are running small- and
medium- scale business.
• Swiggy will focus on small- and
medium- scale restaurants, who
are looking for funds to expand
their business in the market.
• The process is relatively simpler as
there is just a form to fill and then
Indifi will complete the credit
evaluation within 24 hours and the
entire loan will be given in a week’s
time without initial deposits at a
fair interest rate.
 Success of the programme launched

Amit Roy, owner of Peetuk, Mumbai. “Once I

Majety’s goals in 2018
• Our mission is to change the way India eats apart from servicing the
customer better than last year and widening the assortment to
enable users to order on a higher frequency. Swiggy wants to be like a
utility app for every Indian. We want people to order food at least 15-
20 times a month.
• That can only happen if you solve deep problems and not just act as
an occasional food delivery provider. For us, it is about how we
balance growth and customer service in the long run.
