Pret A Manger to be available online through Swiggy
Mumbai: In an exciting development for food lovers, Swiggy, an on-demand convenience delivery platform has partnered with Pret A Manger to offer the brands freshly made favourites and organic coffees on delivery for the first time in India. This new partnership aims to make it easier than ever for customers to enjoy Pret’s delicious menu from the comfort of their own home helping to grow the brands presence in Mumbai and Delhi.
After opening the first Pret shop in Mumbai last year, this new partnership with Swiggy will help Pret deliver its freshly made food to more customers than ever before, wherever they are. Pret’s entire shop menu, which consists of fan-favorite dishes like Chicken Super Club granary sandwich, Posh Cheddar Baguette including their range of organic coffees can now be ordered online and delivered in minutes. All freshly made in Pret kitchens each and every day by Pret team members, the menu can now be ordered direct to customers’ homes or offices in Mumbai and Delhi
Mirroring the shop dining experience customers will have the flexibility of tailoring their Barista-made drink orders, meaning Swiggy users can customize which milk or additional add-ons they would like to have in their drink. To ensure the same Pret freshness you get in Pret shops, Pret has implemented strict guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to guarantee that high standards of food quality and packaging are maintained during delivery.
Announcing the launch on social media, the brands shared a CGI coffee cup being dropped at Gateway of India garnering maximum eyeballs towards this partnership.
Speaking about this partnership, Swiggy national business head Sidharth Bhakoo said, “Swiggy is always looking for ways to bring the best of culinary experiences to consumers. Pret A Manger has been well-loved by users since its debut in India last year. Swiggy is excited to bring them online for the first time to delight and meet the demands of millions of people on the platform.”
Pret A Manger Asia MD Eira Jarvis said, “We opened our first Pret shop in Mumbai last year and since then have continued to grow across the country. We have had great success so far and now have nine shops open across Mumbai in Delhi. We’ve had lots of great feedback from all the customers who have popped in to one of our shops and, with this new partnership, we look forward to continuing to offer even more customers across India our freshly made food and organic coffees wherever, whenever they want.”

Cars24 co-founder Gajendra Jangid steps down amid leadership churn
Exits of CEO Himanshu Ratnoo and Ankit Bhalla add to top-level reshuffle
NEW DELHI: Cars24 has seen further top-level changes with co-founder Gajendra Jangid stepping down, adding to a series of senior exits at the company in recent months.
According to media reports, Jangid conveyed his decision in an internal communication to employees, stating that he had been considering the move for some time. He noted that there comes a stage when a company no longer relies on its founders to keep progressing, adding that it felt like the right moment to step back.
His exit follows a period of notable leadership churn at the Gurugram-based company. Recently, Himanshu Ratnoo stepped down as chief executive officer, while Ankit Bhalla also exited the organisation, signalling movement across key roles.
Responding to the development, Vikram Chopra acknowledged Jangid’s contribution, crediting him for shaping the brand, driving its marketing direction, and supporting the development of key teams and platforms within the ecosystem.
With multiple senior departures in quick succession, the company appears to be entering a phase of internal restructuring as it continues to scale its used car business in a competitive market.
