Accel leads $2M funding for Swish’s rapid food delivery service, allowing the Bangalore-based startup to expand operations in Bengaluru and target other Tier-1 cities.

Accel leads $2M funding to strengthen Swish’s delivery network
Swish’s 10-minute food delivery operates through cloud kitchens known as ‘delight centres,’ which serve customers within a 1.5-2 km radius. This model ensures meals remain fresh, hygienic, and fast. Founders Aniket Shah, Ujjwal Sukheja, and Saran S established Swish in 2024, beginning in HSR Layout before moving into Bellandur.
“Quick commerce has evolved from being a convenience to becoming a necessity,” said Aniket Shah, Swish’s CEO. “Food delivery times of 30-60 minutes no longer meet customers’ expectations.”
How Accel boost Swish’s growth plans
Accel’s $2M funding supports Swish’s plan to open 150 delight centres in Bengaluru by March 2025. This expansion will position Swish as a leader in hyperlocal food delivery. India’s quick commerce market is projected to reach $40 billion by 2030, giving Swish significant room for growth.
