Swiggy to meet Bengaluru restaurant bodies ahead of proposed August 15 boycott
Restaurant associations allege steep deductions, non-consensual advertising charges and opaque settlements, saying outlets receive less than half of billed order value. The dispute comes as zero-commission rival Rapido Ownly raises competitive pressure.
