Swiggy's new app, Pyng, connects fitness coaches and educators with clients. The app offers booking, payment tracking, and service listing features, targeting new markets.
Swiggy has entered the professional services market with its new app, Pyng. The app connects fitness trainers, yoga instructors, and education coaches with clients. It simplifies service listing, bookings, payment tracking, and schedule management. This launch, still in its pilot phase, marks a shift for Swiggy as it aims to diversify beyond food delivery. The company is responding to market demand for streamlined access to skilled professionals.
Pyng allows professionals to showcase their services through detailed listings. The app's booking management feature ensures seamless appointment scheduling. Payment tracking is integrated, helping users manage finances efficiently. Professionals can adjust their availability to suit their schedules. These features make Pyng appealing to both service providers and customers, though the app’s pricing model remains unclear.
The professional services market for white-collar roles like fitness and education is still developing in India. Pyng positions itself to fill this gap by offering a user-friendly platform for niche services. Existing competitors focus on home improvement and personal care, leaving room for growth in specialized services. Swiggy's venture into this sector is expected to attract professionals looking for a streamlined solution to manage their businesses.
Pyng joins Swiggy’s growing portfolio, which includes Snacc for food delivery and Bolt for rapid service. This ecosystem reflects Swiggy’s strategy of branching out to cater to various customer needs. As the company diversifies, its success will hinge on how well Pyng’s features and pricing align with user expectations. Swiggy’s ability to outpace competitors in this niche could set a precedent for other marketplaces in India.
