Swiggy, Zerodha Fund House launch mutual fund plan for delivery partners

MUMBAI: A delivery today, a nest egg tomorrow. Swiggy is looking to ensure every ride can also be a step towards long-term financial security. Swiggy has partnered with Zerodha Fund House to introduce a mutual fund investment programme for its delivery partners, enabling them to invest a portion of their earnings directly through the Swiggy Rider App.

The initiative allows delivery partners across India to begin investing with as little as Rs 100, making mutual fund investing more accessible to gig workers. The fully digital programme enables partners to invest according to their financial goals, whether building an emergency fund, purchasing a two-wheeler, financing education or planning for other long-term needs.

Under the programme, delivery partners can access the investment feature through the Rider App, while investment management will be facilitated via Zerodha Fund House’s Whatsapp channel. Investments will be made directly into mutual fund schemes managed by Zerodha Fund House.

The scheme does not impose a lock-in period, allowing investors to redeem their investments whenever required, subject to applicable mutual fund regulations.

The partnership reflects a broader push towards improving financial inclusion within the gig economy, where income is often earned in small, frequent amounts and long-term savings can be difficult to build.

Swiggy said the initiative aims to extend support beyond earning opportunities by encouraging financial discipline and long-term wealth creation among its delivery partners.

Saurav Goyal, Senior Vice President, Driver and Delivery Organisation at Swiggy, said the collaboration is designed to give delivery partners easier access to financial tools that can help them plan for future needs while building savings habits.

Vishal Jain, Chief Executive Officer of Zerodha Fund House, said the partnership seeks to make mutual fund investing more accessible for gig workers, adding that even small, regular investments can help delivery partners gradually build long-term financial security.

The programme forms part of Swiggy’s broader efforts to strengthen the financial well-being of its delivery partners, complementing its focus on creating sustainable earning opportunities with access to formal investment solutions.
