Bengaluru-based Swiggy promises to deliver food in about 35 minutes.

Corner House, a popular Bengaluru-based ice cream parlour, has partnered with food ordering start-up Swiggy to go online. Consumers can now use a mobile app to order ice creams of their choice delivered from different outlets across the city.

To celebrate the partnership, Corner House said it has introduced a special sundae, a sweet ice cream dessert, available exclusively through Swiggy.

This includes chocolate brownie base topped with butterscotch ice cream, caramel sauce and an optional sprinkle of nuts.

“We are also excited with this new partnership with Swiggy which will bring Corner House right into people’s homes,” said Dhananjay Rao, who runs operations at the iconic parlour. His father Narayan Rao set up Corner House more than three decades ago. He initially started it as a bakery and a fast food place and then converted it into an ice cream parlour. “We also felt that the moment was right considering the increasing feedback that we have been getting from our customers to go online,” said Mr. Rao.

Bengaluru-based Swiggy, founded by BITS Pilani alumni Sriharsha Majety and Nandan Reddy and IIT Kharagpur graduate Rahul Jaimini, promises to deliver food in about 35 minutes.

Its delivery executives use smartphones and an algorithm-powered app to efficiently deliver food. Consumers can also discover popular restaurants and track their food orders in real time.

“I hope that this exclusive collaboration will bring in more customers to our platform,” said Mr. Majety.
