"With the delivery fleet being the backbone of Swiggy, the adoption of the digital payment solutions will support the ease of operations and save their time and thousands of kilometres of travel," said the company's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Rahul Bothra in the statement.

The digital payment methods will also help in preventing any cash leakages, the company said.
