Bistro may look like a response to Swiggy and Rapido’s 'budget' food delivery apps, but the similarities end at affordability—the playbooks are fundamentally different.
The food-tech pioneer is on the brink of losing its decade-long fight for survival, laying bare the pitfalls of the cloud kitchen business.
In light of the recent exits of top executives at Swiggy’s quick commerce business, we look at the reasons behind the departures and whether it’s impacting the business.
