Investor’s Indsider Tip
Swiggy’s recent stake sales and business reshuffle show it’s refocusing- but HEY! don’t rush in just yet. Betting on Swiggy may not guarantee long-term gains. Sometimes, it’s wiser to step back, skip the hype, and watch how the story unfolds before committing your capital. Patience is a strategy too.
