About Us:
Swift is building a next generation checkout and fulfillment service for India - a platform rolling up payments and logistics solutions for all fulfillment needs. We give emerging D2C brands the opportunity to provide a customer experience at par with the likes of Amazon and Flipkart, for channels spanning across marketplaces (Amazon, Flipkart etc.), web stores (Shopify, WooCommerce etc.), and social media stores (WhatsApp, Instagram etc.). Think of us like Amazon for the vast majority of brands that do not want to rely solely on marketplaces for their sales.
We are a young, Kalaari backed start-up that believes that while there are many things a brand has to worry about when selling online, logistics/payments etc. shouldn't be one of them. With our solution, SMBs and D2C brands get access to technologies and services like one-tap checkout, payment processing, live tracking, COD and returns reconciliation, delivery intelligence, and much more.
We want to be the #1 e-commerce stack that's reliable, easy to use, and affordable.
