Swiggy announces permanent work-from-anywhere policy

Food delivery startup Swiggy has announced permanent work-from-anywhere options for the majority of its roles as part of its 'Future of Work Policy'.

Under the policy, the corporate, core business functions, and technology teams will continue to collaborate virtually and meet once every three months for a week at their base site for in-person bonding.

The company has employees across 487 towns and cities in 27 states.


Partner-facing roles are, however, required to work from the office for a few days a week from their base locations, it said.

The decision was made based on team needs and feedback from various managers and employees, who attested to the freedom and greater productivity that has come with working from home over the past two years, the company said in a statement.

“At the core of our Future of Work is flexibility. Our focus was to enable employees with as much flexibility in their work life within the contours of their job. We observed global and local talent trends while also keeping our ears to the ground listening to the pulse from our employees, managers and leaders," Giresh Menon, HR head at Swiggy, said.

"This led us to introduce ‘work from anywhere’ as a permanent option for employees, giving them the convenience of flexible cycles of work and leisure wherever they may be,” he added.

Earlier this year, ecommerce platform Meesho said its workplace model would allow employees the option of working from home, office or any location of their choice.
