Swiggy and Bounce Join Forces to Accelerate EV Adoption Among Delivery Partners
- To deploy EV fleet across Delhi NCR and Bengaluru
Swiggy (Swiggy Ltd, NSE: SWIGGY / BSE: 544285), India’s pioneering on-demand convenience platform, today announced that it has partnered with Bounce, India’s leading full-stack electric mobility company, to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles amongst its delivery partners. This collaboration aims to make electric mobility more accessible and affordable for thousands of Swiggy and Instamart delivery partners. Additionally, this initiative is a step toward reducing the carbon footprint of hyperlocal deliveries while significantly lowering operating costs for delivery partners.
In Phase 1 of this partnership, Bounce will deploy electric scooters across Delhi NCR and Bengaluru over the next three months. These vehicles will be available on the Bounce Daily app as well as Swiggy’s Delivery Partner app at special pricing exclusively for Swiggy and Instamart delivery partners. Bounce will handle the complete deployment, management, and maintenance of these vehicles, ensuring a seamless experience for riders.
Swiggy already has 50+ EV partners in the ecosystem at a Pan-India level to ensure EV accessibility to its delivery partners, and this partnership with Bounce is aimed at furthering this cause to help a steady supply of EVs to our fleet.
Speaking on the partnership, Saurav Goyal, Senior Vice President-Driver & Delivery Org, Swiggy, said, “At Swiggy, we are committed to enabling sustainable solutions that benefit both our partners and the environment. This partnership with Bounce is a significant move towards greener and more cost-effective delivery. We aim to scale this partnership across multiple cities in the country in the coming months. We stay committed to our goal of having a 100% electric delivery fleet by 2030 and will explore partnerships with relevant players to ensure we build a robust and sustainable ecosystem enabling widespread adoption of EVs across the delivery partners ecosystem.”
“Our goal at Bounce is to make electric mobility mainstream by removing barriers to access,” said Vivekananda Hallekere, Co-founder & CEO of Bounce. “Partnering with Swiggy allows us to support delivery partners with reliable, affordable EVs while contributing to cleaner cities.”
The partnership also includes a unique engagement initiative for delivery partners— the Swiggy Bounce Raja campaign. The campaign was designed to encourage the adoption of EVs and increase awareness. Under this campaign, a Swiggy delivery partner riding a Bounce scooter and completing the highest number of orders during the contest period wins a free Bounce Electric scooter. So far, two successful campaigns have been conducted, one in May and the second in July this year. The winner of the first campaign has already received an electric scooter.
