Swiggy - Organised Editing

About Swiggy

Bundl Technologies Private Limited, operating an online marketplace, in the name of Swiggy (hereinafter referred to as ‘Swiggy’), is an Indian online platform that enables a transaction between participant restaurants/merchants, delivery partners, and customers/ consumers. Swiggy mainly offers food delivery, on-demand grocery deliveries, and a same-day package delivery service through its app and operates in over 500 Indian cities.

Contributions to map data

The Swiggy Maps team contributes to OpenStreetMap coverage of various cities in India. Our focus is mainly on improving road networks by editing road geometry with reference of OSM evidence, ground truth, publicly available sources, and internal trip summary.

Usage of OSM maps by Swiggy

Swiggy uses OSM as one of the data sources for an internal routing service. Our purpose for OSM editing is to improve the road network where Swiggy operates and uses the data.

Swiggy would like to be part of the OSM community and help improve road coverage. In places where road geometry might not be accurate or might not have full road coverage, Swiggy plans to improve this map/road data through our knowledge of ground truth to benefit OSM.

Mapping Guidelines

Swiggy is committed to adhere to the Organized Editing Guidelines. We are open to feedback and will always take it into consideration, as local community knowledge and expertise always precedes. The following are the improvements that will be addressed

• Adding missing roads/connectivity
• Modifying incorrect modelling and alignment of roads
• Removing non-existent roads by referring to valid sources
• Improve routing by adding turn restrictions, Directionality, Road attributes, and Vehicle access

Team Guidelines/Workflow

As the quality of the data is essential, we will make sure to do the following checks before uploading the edits,

• Ensure appropriate changeset comments are added and are in line with the scope covered in particular upload
• Make sure the changeset boundary does not cover a large area and/or multiple localities/cities
• Either case, record the instances as feedback in the internal tracker as the changeset cannot be reverted or modified, which will be used for further feedback

In addition to the rules that apply to the community of OSM editors, the guidelines that the Swiggy team adheres to are as follows:

• We emphasize local knowledge with our fleet of driver partners for Swiggy, we have access to real-time data sourced firsthand in India.
• All our OSM contributors will be listed on the OpenStreetMap wiki page, and can be identified by their user profiles Tools and data sources

Changeset Tags

We will comply with the changeset comment guidelines and add specific activity tags to help the community differentiate edits made by the Swiggy team and track easily. The format of the changeset tag that we use:

Hashtags: #swiggy,Tag name: fixing_osm_roads, Value: ”alias1, alias2, etc”
