How India Swiggy’d its way through 2024

If there’s one thing that truly united India this year, it wasn’t cricket, or viral dance trends – it was the collective midnight panic of deciding between pizza and biryani to satisfy the hunger pangs. Swiggy wasn’t just delivering food; it became a key part of India’s 2024 diary, capturing everything from triple-chocolate-sundae heartbreaks to butter-naan and dal-makhani celebrations. This year, we didn’t just eat – we built memories around food and Swiggy became a thread stitching together a tapestry of diverse cravings and unforgettable moments.

The 9th edition of How India Swiggy’d presents a delectable dive into the nation’s culinary cravings.

Unwrapping the Year That Ate (and Left No Crumbs)

A dish that all of India cannot stop cherishing – with 83 million biryanis devoured this year (that’s 158 orders per minute or roughly 2 biryanis every second) Biryani is the undisputed King of food kingdom in the country for the 9th consecutive year.

In a chicken-heavy lineup, the humble Dosa steals the show! 23 million orders and counting – this is the true culinary hit.

Move over mammoth movie budgets in 2024! A single consumer in Bengaluru spent Rs 49,900 on a pasta extravaganza, devouring almost 55 Alfredo dishes, 40 Mac & Cheese, and 30 Spaghetti plates.

Without a doubt, Dinner is the ultimate Bahubali of mealtimes with a whopping 215 million orders in 2024 – nearly 29% higher than lunch orders on Swiggy.

In Bikaner, a dessert lover’s sweet tooth couldn’t wait, and neither could Bolt! In just 3 minutes, a delivery partner zoomed in with a trio of frozen delights: Chocochips, Strawberry, and Roasted Almond Ice Cream from NIC Ice creams.

Continuing the reign of the sweet tooth on Bolt, Rasmalai and Sitaphal ice cream topped the charts as the most-ordered delights to curb hunger pangs in 10 minutes.

Turning our gaze towards Eats of the East…. Move over momos, because Noodles are stealing the spotlight in Shillong! This city’s love for these slurpy strands is unmatched, making it the most ordered dish of 2024 in the city

Swiggy’s delivery partners clocked an epic 1.96 billion kilometers – that’s like driving the distance from Kashmir to Kanyakumari 533,000 times and still stop for chai!

Furthermore, delivery superheroes Kapil Kumar Pandey from Mumbai delivered an incredible 10,703 orders this year, while Kaleeswari M from Coimbatore led the female partners with 6,658 orders.
