magicpin and Rapido have joined hands to take on the duopoly of Zomato and Swiggy, whereby the country’s third largest food delivery player will plug its nationwide restaurant network to Rapido-owned platform Ownly, people aware of the development said.
The partnership will open up magicpin’s large restaurant base for Rapido, which launched Ownly in August, and has been looking to scale beyond Bengaluru.
Once the onboarding process is complete, Rapido’s Ownly will have access to over 80,000 restaurants across the country, whereas magicpin will gain access to Rapido’s delivery fleet in certain locations.
“Rapido primarily on-boards restaurants directly through our merchant team, with only a very small share coming via partners like magicpin. We also work with magicpin and others in select cities as a logistics provider, where our captain fleet supports last-mile deliveries.
“Our focus remains on building reliable, affordable, full-stack discovery and delivery solutions for merchants
