Information other than the Standalone Financial
Statements and Auditor''s Report thereon
6. The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for
the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Annual Report, but
does not include the standalone financial statements
and our auditor''s report thereon. The Annual Report is
expected to be made available to us after the date of
this auditor''s report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements
does not cover the other information and we will not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone
financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above when it becomes
available and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the
standalone financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude
that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged
with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged
with Governance for the Standalone Financial
Statements
7 The accompanying standalone financial statements
have been approved by the Company''s Board
of Directors. The Company''s Board of Directors
are responsible for the matters stated in Section
134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation
and presentation of these standalone financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance including
other comprehensive income, changes in equity and
cash flows of the Company in accordance with the
Ind AS specified under Section 133 of the Act and
other accounting principles generally accepted in
India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of
adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of
the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds
and other irregularities; selection and application of
appropriate accounting policies; making judgments
and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
and design, implementation and maintenance
of adequate internal financial controls, that were
operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant
to the preparation and presentation of the financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
8. In preparing the standalone financial statements,
the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the
Company''s ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.
9 The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing
the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements
10. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the standalone financial statements as
a whole are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor''s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a
high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on
Auditing will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these standalone financial statements.
11. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on
Auditing, specified under Section 143(10) of the Act
we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the standalone financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those
risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control;
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal control
relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under Section 143(3)0) of the
Act we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the Company has adequate
internal financial controls with reference to
financial statements in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls;
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management;
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of
Directors'' use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company''s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that
a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the
related disclosures in the standalone financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date
of our auditor''s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern; and
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and
content of the standalone financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the
standalone financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner
that achieves fair presentation.
12. We communicate with those charged with governance
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings,
including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
13. We also provide those charged with governance with
a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and
to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on
our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
14. From the matters communicated with those charged
with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the standalone
financial statements of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these
matters in our auditor''s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,
in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that
a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so
would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.
15. The standalone financial statements of the Company
for the year ended 31 March 2025 were audited by
the predecessor auditor, B S R & Co. LLP, who had
expressed an unmodified opinion on those standalone
financial statements vide their audit report dated 09
May 2025.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
16. As required by Section 197(16) of the Act, based on
our audit, we report that the Company has paid
remuneration to its directors during the year in
accordance with the provisions of and limits laid down
under Section 197 read with Schedule V to the Act.
17. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order,
2020 (''the Order'') issued by the Central Government
of India in terms of Section 143(11) of the Act we give in
the Annexure I a statement on the matters specified
in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent
applicable.
18. Further to our comments in Annexure I, as required by
Section 143(3) of the Act based on our audit, we report,
to the extent applicable, that:
a) We have sought and obtained all the information
and explanations which to the best of our
knowledge and belief were necessary for the
purpose of our audit of the accompanying
standalone financial statements;
b) Except for the matters stated in paragraph 18(h)

of the Act;
f) The qualification relating to the maintenance of
accounts and other matters connected therewith
are as stated in paragraph 18(b) above on
reporting under Section 143(3)(b) of the Act and
paragraph 18(h)(vi) below on reporting under Rule
11(g) of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules,
2014 (as amended);
g) With respect to the adequacy of the internal
financial controls with reference to financial
statements of the Company as on 31 March 2026
and the operating effectiveness of such controls,
refer to our separate report in Annexure II wherein
we have expressed an unmodified opinion; and
h) With respect to the other matters to be included
in the Auditor''s Report in accordance with Rule 11
of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014
(as amended), in our opinion and to the best of our
information and according to the explanations
given to us
i. The Company, as detailed in Note 33 to
the standalone financial statements, has
disclosed the impact of pending litigations
on its financial position as at 31 March 2026;
ii. The Company did not have any long-term
contracts including derivative contracts for
which there were any material foreseeable
losses as at 31 March 2026;
iii. There were no amounts which were required
to be transferred to the Investor Education
and Protection Fund by the Company during
the year ended 31 March 2026;
iv. a. The management has represented that,
to the best of its knowledge and belief, as
disclosed in Note 45 (v) to the standalone
financial statements, no funds have been
advanced or loaned or invested (either
from borrowed funds or securities premium
or any other sources or kind of funds) by
the Company to or in any person(s) or
entity(ies), including foreign entities (''the
intermediaries''), with the understanding,
whether recorded in writing or otherwise,
that the intermediary shall, whether,
directly or indirectly lend or invest in
other persons or entities identified in any
manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the
Company (''the Ultimate Beneficiaries'') or
provide any guarantee, security or the like
on behalf the Ultimate Beneficiaries;
b. The management has represented that,
to the best of its knowledge and belief, as
disclosed in Note 45 (vi) to the standalone
financial statements, no funds have
been received by the Company from any
person(s) or entity(ies), including foreign
entities (''the Funding Parties''), with the
understanding, whether recorded in
writing or otherwise, that the Company
shall, whether directly or indirectly, lend
or invest in other persons or entities
identified in any manner whatsoever by or
on behalf of the Funding Party (''Ultimate
Beneficiaries'') or provide any guarantee,
security or the like on behalf of the
Ultimate Beneficiaries; and
c. Based on such audit procedures
performed as considered reasonable and
appropriate in the circumstances, nothing
has come to our notice that has caused
us to believe that the management
representations under sub-clauses (a)
and (b) above contain any material
misstatement;
v. The Company has not declared or paid any
dividend during the year ended 31 March
2026; and
vi. Based on our examination which included
test checks, except for instances mentioned
below, the Company, in respect of financial
year commencing on 1 April 2025, has used
accounting software for maintaining its
books of account which have a feature of
recording audit trail (edit log) facility and the
same have been operated throughout the
year for all relevant transactions recorded
in the software. Further, during the course
of our audit, other than the consequential
impact of the exceptions given below, we did
not come across any instance of audit trail
feature being tampered with. Furthermore,
except for matters mentioned below, the
audit trail (edit logs) have been preserved
by the Company as per the statutory
requirements for record retention.
⢠The audit trail feature was not enabled
at the database level to log any direct
data changes for accounting software
used for the maintenance of revenue and
delivery related records by the Company.
Consequently, the audit trail (edit logs)
has not been preserved by the Company
as per the statutory requirements for
record retention at the database level.
⢠The accounting software used for
the maintenance of payroll records is
operated by a third-party software
service provider. In the absence of any
information on existence of audit trail
(edit logs) for any direct changes made
at the database level in the ''Independent
Service Auditor''s Assurance Report (''Type
2 report'' issued in accordance with ISAE
3402), we are unable to comment on
whether audit trail feature with respect
to the database of the said software
was enabled and operated throughout
the year. Consequently, we are unable to
comment on the preservation of the audit
trail at the database level.

were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the standalone financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the
Management and Board of Directors are responsible for
assessing the Company''s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the
Company''s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the standalone financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditor''s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in accordance with SAs will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis
of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement
of the standalone financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or
the override of internal control.
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to
the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)
(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing
our opinion on whether the company has adequate
internal financial controls with reference to financial
statements in place and the operating effectiveness
of such controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by the Management and
Board of Directors.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management
and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis
of accounting in preparation of standalone financial
statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditor''s report
to the related disclosures in the standalone financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the
audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor''s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause
the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the standalone financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the standalone financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a
statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate
with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and
where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the standalone financial
statements of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor''s
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,
we determine that a matter should not be communicated
in our report because the adverse consequences of doing
so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.

We have audited the standalone financial statements of Swiggy Limited (formerly known as Swiggy Private Limited, Bundl Technologies Private Limited) (the âCompanyâ) which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2024, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (âAct") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2024, and its loss and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.
