Online food ordering platform Swiggy has announced the launch of a special care package providing support to its over 1.5 lakh delivery partners and their families.
The care package—called 'Swiggy Suraksha'—covers a host of services such as stronger financial support and hospitalisation cover for delivery partners and their families affected by Covid-19, the company said in a statement.
