Indians ordered 2 lakh pani puris, and more than one biryani per second on Swiggy in 2020

The year 2020 was truly an unprecedented year for families across the country, especially for working professionals. Dining tables did double duty, serving both as workstations and well as tables to eat at home, and looks like they loved ordering briyani.


Swiggy has released its fifth annual Stat-EAT-stics report that takes a look at all that India Swiggy-ed this year (between January and December 2020). Swiggy revealed that between January and December 2020, more than one biryani was ordered per second. For perspective, a year has 525,600 minutes, and each minute has 60 seconds.

"Veg, Chicken, Mutton or Aloo, collectively some form of Biryani was ordered more than once every second in 2020, and Chicken Biryani reaffirmed its place as India’s favourite dish," read the report. "However, its vegetarian counterpart did not have the same luck. For every Veg Biryani, there were six Chicken Biryani orders," it added.

Due to work from home, Swiggy delivered five times as many orders to ‘Home’ addresses compared to ‘Work’ addresses between January and March, and that number rose to nine times as many Home orders vs Work orders in April and May.


Dishes like Paneer Butter Masala, Masala Dosa, Chicken Fried Rice and Mutton Biryani continued to be India’s favourite pick-me-up dishes. The users also ordered varieties of tea and coffee.

What did Indians miss the most this 2020?

Looks likes people did not miss colleagues or friends as much as they missed their pani puris. Hence, Swiggy delivered over two lakh pani puri orders post-lockdown.


It is worth noting that Swiggy is going to offer more choice by onboarding 36,000 street food vendors across 125 cities in partnership with the PM’s SVANidhi Scheme.
