Rohit Kapoor, CEO of Food Marketplace at Swiggy, has welcomed the Union Budget 2025, praising the government’s targeted initiatives for the poor (Garib), youth (Yuva), farmers (Annadata), and women (Naari). Kapoor emphasized that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has successfully aligned her policies with these key focus areas, promising long-term empowerment for these crucial sections of society.
“The Honourable Finance Minister said that the focus of the government is on the poor, youth, farmers, and women. She has matched her words with actions, and the policies and measures announced will go a long way in empowering these sections of our society,” Kapoor remarked.
He highlighted how Swiggy is directly involved in advancing these initiatives. The company’s young workforce and extensive delivery partner network are creating significant job opportunities for the youth. Swiggy is also contributing to women’s empowerment by integrating more women into the formal economy through entrepreneurial and gig work opportunities.
Additionally, Kapoor pointed out the role of Swiggy’s retail business in supporting farmers by providing them with direct market access and boosting their income streams. This aligns closely with the government’s agricultural initiatives announced in the budget.
“The Finance Minister’s speech has been very motivating, and we will continue to work hard and contribute in our small way to India’s progress,” Kapoor concluded, reinforcing Swiggy’s commitment to playing an active role in the nation’s economic and social development.
