'Bengaluru is topping the charts': Swiggy Food CEO reveals who is eating what on New Year's Eve
Swiggy's Food Marketplace CEO Rohit Kapoor gave a glimpse of the company's operations for New Year's Eve.
As Indians began celebrating the new year, Swiggy Food Marketplace CEO Rohit Kapoor took to X to give a sneak peek into the "war room" in preparation for the tsunami of food orders. "Swiggy’s delivery partners, restaurant partners & ops teams are working hard behind the scenes to ensure aapka NYE seamless rahe. Order early, lekin tension mat lo, we’re here for your afterparties & morning afters too," the post read.
The CEO also posted a poll on what could be the most ordered food item -- Pizza, Burger and Biryani in anticipation of the “the biggest day for Swiggy.”
"In classic Swiggy fashion, we will be live tweeting all that India is ordering. But sabse pehle, what do you think will be the most ordered food item today? Answer agle saal (AKA tomorrow) hi pata chalega," he wrote.

"Guess what? Bengaluru is topping the charts for biryani orders aur woh toh Hyderabadi biryani order kar rahe hain," he said in another post.

Another favourite among Swiggy users were burgers. “ye sab log burger hi kyu kha rahe hain, abhi tak 116099 burger orders hogaye hai, tum logo ko kuch aur khane ka idea nahi aata kya??” read another post.
