Swiggy Relaunches Premium Grocery Service ‘Handpicked’

This latest offering is designed to offer premium organic, locally-sourced produce directly to consumers.

Swiggy initially introduced a high-end grocery service called InsanelyGood, accessible through a dedicated app. This service merged with Instamart in March. Swiggy also offered a premium product delivery service named Handpicked, which provided next-day delivery but ceased operations in May 2023. The revamped Handpicked now stands out by being part of the quick commerce model, providing on-demand delivery within ten minutes, and emphasizing freshness, originality, and authenticity.

Featuring a curated selection from over 500 brands, our service highlights local favorites and well-known names like Iyengar’s, Sweet Karam Coffee, Blue Tokai, The Whole Truth, NOTO, and Masterchow. We focus on locally sourced products, blending traditional and modern brands, clean-label items, and gourmet options. Our collection offers a unique alternative to mass-produced products.

Handpicked is presently accessible in Bengaluru, with plans by Swiggy to imminently introduce this service in Delhi and Mumbai. The company is currently conducting a pilot of Handpicked’s operations in Bengaluru to assess its performance prior to its rollout in other metropolitan areas. This initiative forms a crucial component of Swiggy’s strategy to innovate and uphold its standing within the fiercely competitive quick commerce sector, amidst formidable competitors such as Zomato’s Blinkit and Zepto.
