Swiggy launches Builders Club for AI commerce developers
Swiggy is launching Builders Club for developers, startups and enterprises building AI commerce services on its platforms. The programme will give approved participants access to tools across Swiggy Food, Instamart and Dineout.
At launch, it will offer access to three MCP servers and more than 18 API tools. These are designed to help external teams build AI agents, assistants and integrations that can handle tasks such as ordering meals, buying groceries and booking restaurant tables.
Builders Club is part of a broader push to expand external access to Swiggy's commerce systems following an earlier MCP rollout. Beyond technical access, the programme adds community, partnerships, skills support and an invite-led admissions process.
It is aimed at developers, founders and enterprise teams looking to build services around Swiggy's consumer businesses. Applicants will be reviewed before receiving access, after which they can build and share a product demonstration.
AWS stack
The programme is built on Amazon Web Services infrastructure, using Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock AgentCore alongside AWS Trainium chips. This setup gives builders access to foundation models from providers including Anthropic, Meta and Mistral AI through a single interface.
Swiggy is positioning the programme around what it calls AI-native commerce, with a particular focus on "skills" - reusable software components that help AI agents complete real-world tasks. Builders Club will combine its MCP integrations, real-world skills and a forthcoming builders platform for external developers.
Participants will receive live API access and rate limits designed for active development. The programme will also include engineering support, builder enablement, co-branding opportunities for selected projects and growth support for use cases that gain traction.
Madhusudhan Rao described the move as an extension of Swiggy's earlier efforts to expose more of its infrastructure to third parties.
"The past few months have marked a fundamental shift in Swiggy's trajectory. With MCP, we opened our commerce infrastructure to AI systems. Builders Club is the next bold step - extending that access to developers and enterprises so they can build AI commerce applications at scale on top of Swiggy. We are moving from platform to ecosystem orchestrator, providing the foundational layer for AI-native commerce innovation. Built on AWS, with Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore, this gives our builder community enterprise-grade infrastructure from day one," said Madhusudhan Rao, chief technology officer at Swiggy.
The launch also points to deeper alignment between Swiggy and AWS in AI services for commercial applications.
"Swiggy Builders Club represents the next evolution of AI-powered commerce, and we're proud that AWS AI services are enabling this developer community. By combining Amazon Bedrock, AWS Trainium, and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, we're giving builders the infrastructure to innovate without limits - whether they're startups experimenting with new ideas or enterprises scaling production AI agents. This partnership demonstrates how open, flexible AI infrastructure can accelerate innovation across India's digital economy," said Sandeep Dutta, president, AWS India and South Asia.
Swiggy operates one of India's largest consumer delivery networks, serving millions of users each month. It works with more than 250,000 restaurants across about 718 cities and runs Instamart in 124 cities, giving developers a large operating base for AI tools tied to food delivery, grocery purchases and dining services.
