Swiggy breaks its own record on New Year Eve.

New Delhi: Food aggregator app Swiggy claimed to make a New Year Eve record with above 2 million orders delivered by just 9 pm on Friday, December 31. The company said it had broken its last new year eve’s record of 5500 orders per minute by 6610 orders per minute in 2021 by 7 pm already.

“Taking a tweet break. Crossed 2 million orders on Swiggy and many more lined up. BRB!,” the food delivery major tweeted at 9.06 pm.

“Nothing beats the joy of breaking our own record! From 5500 orders per minute last NYE, to 6610 orders per minute already in 2021, it’s been quite a journey,” another tweet by Swiggy at 7.02 pm read.

Keeping in line with Indians’ already proven love for the most ordered dish for the year (as revealed earlier by both Swiggy and Zomato) — chicken biryani continued to top the list of dishes on NYE as well, Swiggy observed. “The verdict is out. We are a biryani loving nation and it shows. No wonder 1229 biryanis were marked ‘delivered’ in a minute!,” it said.
