To mark the partnership, Hero MotoCorp and Swiggy conducted a road safety training session for Swiggy delivery partners at Hero MotoCorp's Traffic Training Park in Gurugram. Senior leaders from both companies attended, including Ashutosh Varma, Chief Business Officer at Hero MotoCorp; Latika Taneja, Head of Corporate Communications, Corporate Affairs & CSR at Hero MotoCorp; Sanjay Shejwal, Head of Customer Experience at Hero MotoCorp; Saurav Goyal, Chief Operating Officer, Food Marketplace at Swiggy; Komal Arora, Vice President Operations, Swiggy Food Marketplace; and Anant Choudhary, Assistant Vice President Operations, Instamart. Participants received a road safety kit with a full-face helmet, medical kit, certificate, and reflective safety vest.
Road safety training for Swiggy riders will run across India under Ride Safe India, Hero MotoCorp's CSR initiative. The sessions blend digital learning with practical, instructor-led lessons that cover preventive safety practices, hazard anticipation, responsible riding behavior, traffic rule compliance, and emergency response. According to the companies, reliable personal mobility helps delivery partners improve their earning opportunities and adds convenience and flexibility to everyday work.
“Our delivery partners are at the heart of everything we do, and we remain committed to building solutions that support their professional growth and enable them to have a better future. Access to reliable personal mobility plays an important role in enabling delivery partners to improve their earning opportunities while ensuring convenience in their day-to-day work. Through this exclusive partnership with Hero MotoCorp, we are making vehicle ownership more accessible with curated pricing, flexible financing, and a seamless purchase journey designed specifically for our delivery partners. We are hoping that the initiative will enable more delivery partners to join us and earn more.”
“At Hero MotoCorp, we believe mobility is a powerful enabler of opportunity and economic progress. Our partnership with Swiggy reflects our commitment to making reliable, affordable mobility accessible to India's delivery partners, empowering them to enhance their earning potential while benefiting from Hero's trusted products and extensive service network. Equally important, by integrating road safety training into this initiative, we are reinforcing our commitment to safer roads and rider well-being. Together, we are creating holistic mobility solutions that supports livelihoods and promotes responsible riding.”
Why this matters
Reliable personal mobility can help delivery partners earn more and work more flexibly, but vehicle ownership can be a financial hurdle. This partnership tries to lower that hurdle with exclusive Hero pricing, loans covering up to 90% of a vehicle's value, and free safety training across India. If the program succeeds, it could make ownership more accessible for Swiggy's delivery partners while supporting safer roads through Hero MotoCorp's Ride Safe India initiative.
