New developer programme gives startups and enterprises access to APIs, MCP servers and transactional tools across Food, Instamart and Dineout
Swiggy has announced the upcoming launch of Swiggy Builders Club, a new ecosystem programme aimed at developers, startups and enterprises building AI-native commerce experiences on top of the company’s platforms.
The initiative marks Swiggy’s latest push into AI-led commerce after the earlier rollout of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) infrastructure. While MCP opened the company’s core commerce stack, Builders Club is designed as a broader ecosystem layer focused on partnerships, innovation and developer enablement.
At launch, Builders Club will provide approved participants access to three MCP servers and more than 18 API tools spanning Swiggy Food, Instamart and Dineout. This will allow builders to create AI agents, assistants, copilots and integrations capable of taking real-world actions such as ordering food, buying groceries or booking dining experiences.
Swiggy said the platform has been built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure and is powered by Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore. The technology stack will provide developers with access to multiple foundation models and enterprise-grade AI tools.
Madhusudhan Rao, Chief Technology Officer at Swiggy, said the company is evolving from a digital platform into an ecosystem orchestrator by enabling third-party developers to build scalable AI commerce applications on top of its network.
Sandeep Dutta, President of AWS India and South Asia, said the partnership would help startups and enterprises experiment with and deploy AI agents using flexible infrastructure.
Builders Club is also linked to Swiggy’s reusable “Skills” framework, which is designed to help AI systems complete real-world commerce tasks more effectively. Swiggy said the upcoming Builders Platform will further integrate these capabilities for external developers.
The programme will follow an invite-led model, with applicants reviewed before access is granted. Once approved, developers can build and showcase demos using the platform.
Swiggy said participating builders would receive live API access, generous rate limits, engineering support, co-branding opportunities and growth partnerships for successful use cases.
Founded in 2014, Swiggy operates food delivery across more than 720 cities, while its Instamart quick commerce platform serves 131 cities. The company has continued to expand into adjacent services including Dineout and other consumer offerings.
Industry observers said the move reflects a broader trend of consumer internet companies opening their infrastructure to external developers in a bid to create AI-powered ecosystems and new revenue streams.
