Last month, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) ordered a probe into the operations and business models of food delivery majors, Swiggy and Zomato pertaining to alleged violations of Section 3(1) and 3(4) of the Competition Act.

The CCI, in its order dated April 4, 2022, stated that there exists a prima facie case with respect to some of the conduct of Zomato and Swiggy, which requires an investigation by the Director General (‘DG’), to determine whether the conduct of these companies have resulted in contravention of the provisions of Section 3(1) 3(4) of the Competition Act.

Recently, one-stop restaurant management platform UrbanPiper stated that it has raised $24 million in a Series B funding round led by existing investors Sequoia Capital India and Tiger Global. It also onboarded Zomato and Swiggy as its new investors.
