Your Swiggy Spending Adds Up Faster Than You Think
Nitin Khanna
Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Or rather, the biryani in the room. The pizza. The butter chicken. The "I'll cook tomorrow" that has been tomorrow for 47 days straight.
The Numbers Don't Lie
The average Indian millennial spends ₹4,000–₹8,000 per month on food delivery. That's ₹48,000–₹96,000 a year. On food that arrives in soggy packaging and is never as good as the photo.
For context, that's a decent mutual fund SIP. A weekend trip to Goa. Two months of rent in some cities.
The Convenience Tax
We're not here to shame you. Convenience has value. But do you know what you're spending? Most people don't. They open Swiggy, order, and the money just... disappears.
That's the problem we're solving at BarterX. Not the spending itself—the blindness around it.
What If You Could See It?
Imagine opening an app that tells you:
- You spent ₹6,200 on food delivery this month
- That's 23% more than last month
- Your most expensive order was ₹890 on a Tuesday at 11 PM (we've all been there)
Not to judge you. To inform you. Because you can't fix what you can't see.
The BarterX Take
Your Swiggy budget isn't a war crime. But not knowing about it might be. Track it. Understand it. Then decide if that midnight butter chicken is worth it.
(It probably is, honestly. But at least you'll know.)
