Speaking on the launch, Deepak Maloo, Vice President – Food Strategy, Customer Experience & New Initiatives, Swiggy said “The Low Cal category is the next milestone in our commitment to offer better-for-you choices to health-conscious consumers Our decision to introduce Low Cal was driven directly by consumer feedback following the successful launch of our High Protein options, who sought a combination of high protein and low cal items. Within the Low Cal category, we also offer wholesome meal options that are high on satiety: higher on protein and fiber content, ensuring a satisfying meal that keeps you feeling full for longer. This launch is perfectly timed to enable our users to focus on light and mindful eating right before indulging in the year-end binge.”
