The initiative allows any diner who presents a finger marked with electoral ink to avail themselves of up to 50% off their dine-in bills at a variety of participating establishments. This discount not only sweetens the dining experience but also serves as a reward for participating in the vital democratic process.
Rohit Kapoor, CEO of Food Marketplace at Swiggy, expressed his enthusiasm for the campaign on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting how the offer integrates the pleasures of eating out with fulfilling one’s electoral duties. “As cities like Pune and Hyd have the polls today, Swiggy DineOut will reward those exercising their vote. Show your inked finger and enjoy up to 50% off at select restos. Our way of saying thanks for being an active citizen. Let’s vote up and chow down,” he posted.

The response from the public and participating restaurants has been overwhelmingly positive. Restaurant owners report a noticeable uptick in foot traffic, attributing this increase to the Swiggy Dineout campaign. Diners, on the other hand, have expressed appreciation for the initiative, which adds an element of immediate gratification to the act of voting, traditionally seen as a civic duty with more abstract rewards.
The campaign also cleverly taps into the zeitgeist of socially responsible business practices. By aligning its operational goals with broader societal benefits, Swiggy Dineout not only enhances its brand image but also actively contributes to the democratic process. This strategy reflects a growing trend among businesses. It helps to engage in socially conscious marketing that resonates with a politically aware customer base.
Moreover, this approach may have far-reaching implications beyond the immediate electoral cycle. Swiggy Dineout helps embed the practice of voting within everyday activities, potentially increasing turnout rates in future elections.
