"While expanding our catalog, we expect to create a large impact in the hyper-local delivery space - customers can expect to receive their favourite burgers in 35 minutes from the comfort of their home," said Nandan Reddy, Co-founder, Swiggy.

Online apps and mobile penetration have changed the way business is being done worldwide, Chief Executive at Burger King, Raj Varman, said.

"We believe tech-enabled solutions will give us a chance to keep pace with customers. This strategic tie-up with Swiggy has opened avenues for faster growth," he said. Swiggy has raised $18.5 million from SAIF Partners, Norwest Venture Partners and Accel Partners through two rounds of funding.
