* **Platform Fees:** A per-order fee, currently set at ₹10, is charged to customers for using the Swiggy platform.
* **Instamart:** Swiggy’s quick commerce platform, similar to Zomato’s Blinkit, generates revenue through handling, platform, and delivery fees.
* **Dineout Acquisition:** Swiggy’s acquisition of Dineout, a restaurant booking app, generates revenue through listing fees for restaurants and booking fees for customers.
* **Swiggy One Membership:** This paid membership plan offers discounts on delivery charges and contributes to Swiggy’s revenue.
