New Delhi: Swiggy has partnered with the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) to launch a financial literacy program aimed at improving financial awareness among its delivery partners. The initiative, launched at NSE’s Mumbai headquarters, focuses on equipping delivery executives, especially women, with essential financial skills.
Program Highlights
The training will cover key topics such as budgeting, investments, debt management, and understanding capital markets. The modules will be integrated into Swiggy’s delivery partner app and offered in regional languages to ensure accessibility. Certified trainers accredited by SEBI will conduct interactive sessions to enhance understanding.
Swiggy has also announced plans to onboard 1 lakh women as delivery partners by 2030, many of whom will benefit from this initiative. This program aligns with Swiggy’s ongoing workforce development efforts under initiatives like “She the Change” and “Swiggy Skills.”
Promoting Women’s Financial Empowerment
At the launch event, ten women delivery executives were recognized for their contributions, receiving Rs 11,000 each as an initial investment fund. Amruta Fadnavis, who attended the event, emphasized the importance of financial independence in empowering women and supporting their aspirations.
