Swiggy has launched its all-new Students Rewards Program, a youth-focused initiative that offers never-before, exclusive discounts and benefits for college students across campuses in the country.
The initiative is currently active in nearly 2,000 campuses spanning over 200 cities and is expected to scale up to 4,500 colleges by July 2025.
Students aged 18–25 can unlock the rewards by verifying their college email through the Swiggy app. Once verified, users gain access to a bundle of special offers, including discounted Swiggy One and One Lite memberships for free deliveries and additional savings, flat ₹200 off on food delivery orders above ₹699/₹799/₹899, curated deals with items starting at just ₹49 and 20% discount on Dineout bills above ₹799.
The program caters to a wide variety of institutions, from major cities like Delhi, Bengaluru, Pune, and Mumbai to emerging student hubs like Dehradun, Rajkot, Sonipat, and Patiala. Students whose campuses are not yet onboard can request inclusion by emailing Swiggy with their college-specific email.
Commenting on the launch, Deepak Maloo, Vice President, Swiggy Food Marketplace, stated, “The Students Rewards Program is Swiggy’s way of being a part of the lives of students, not just as a convenience platform, but as a trusted companion in their college journey. We understand that for a large number of youngsters living away from home, whether in big cities or smaller college towns, food is often their closest connection to comfort, routine, and home. Swiggy’s new offering is especially designed to cater to students and unlocks specially curated, exclusive perks and access to incredible offers instantly.”
Maloo added, ““Whether students are ordering dinner after a long day of lectures, fuelling late-night study sessions, or planning a birthday celebration with friends, Swiggy makes it effortless and affordable. We understand that when you are far away from home, the little things like your favourite meal showing up at the right time, makes all the difference,” he added further.
Students are already responding enthusiastically. Yashita Berry, a third-year student at VIT, shared, “As a student, it is so nice to get some extra discounts. The sign up process was simple and I have already used two of the offers to order my meals.”
In a statement, Swiggy informed that the initiative is built for students between 18 to 25 years of age and serves both hostel residents and day-boarders. It can also be availed by those who live on campus as well as those who order in between classes or while commuting. The benefits can be availed even while students are at home or on their internships, in a city different from the campus location.
