Swiggy as presenting partner is actually genius - they understand the youth market better than anyone. Their delivery partners are literally the backbone of our late-night study sessions and hangouts!

Hope this doesn't turn into another corporate attempt to "understand youth" while actually just trying to sell us more products. The concept sounds promising though!
