Swiggy has launched a new campaign featuring cricketer Rishabh Pant to explain how its 10-minute food delivery service, Swiggy Bolt, operates. The ad, conceptualized by indie creative agency Moonshot, is written by Tanmay Bhat, Devaiah Bopanna, Puneet Chadha, and Deep Joshi.
How Does Swiggy Bolt Work?
In the 43-second digital ad, Rishabh Pant humorously illustrates how Swiggy ensures superfast deliveries. The brand achieves this by strategically placing its delivery partners near partner restaurants, allowing them to pick up orders and deliver them in record time. This approach eliminates delays in food preparation and transit.
Swiggy’s Vision for Fast and Fresh Food
Rohit Kapoor, CEO of Swiggy Food Marketplace, emphasized that Bolt is designed to change food delivery expectations. The service aims to provide fresh meals without compromise, allowing restaurants to participate in quick deliveries. However, as Kapoor notes, while some customers are amazed by the service, others remain skeptical about the freshness and quality of 10-minute-delivered meals.
Cricket Season: The Perfect Time for a Food Delivery Push
The timing of this campaign is no coincidence. With major cricket tournaments like the Women’s Premier League (WPL), the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy (starting February 19, 2025), and the Indian Premier League (IPL) (starting March 22, 2025), Swiggy anticipates a surge in food delivery orders. Cricket matches are a prime time for food delivery, making it the perfect opportunity to promote Swiggy Bolt.

The Fast Food Delivery Debate
Swiggy Bolt is competing with rivals like Zepto Café and Zomato Instant, all aiming to dominate the quick commerce space. However, concerns persist regarding the quality of ultra-fast food delivery. Critics argue that most 10-minute meals are pre-cooked and frozen, merely reheated before dispatch. Despite these concerns, demand for rapid food delivery continues to grow.
Conclusion: Swiggy Bolt
With Rishabh Pant at the helm, Swiggy Bolt’s latest ad aims to build trust in its 10-minute delivery service. Whether customers embrace or remain skeptical about the promise of fresh, fast food, one thing is certain—quick delivery is shaping the future of online food ordering, especially during cricket season.
