Swiggy elevates Phani Kishan to co-founder position

BENGALURU: Swiggy has elevated Phani Kishan, its vice-president of strategy and investments, to the position of co-founder. On Monday, the food delivery venture’s co-founder and CEO Sriharsha Majety said in a blog post: “Phani joined us very early on in 2015, and has been my fixer and go-to guy for many important problems for as long as I can remember. Over these 6 years, he’s probably had the record for setting up multiple high leverage functions from the ground up.”

The former Boston Consulting Group employee has been in different roles in Swiggy, including as chief of staff to the CEO.
