Swiggy Acqui-hires AI startup Kint.io to provide better customer experience

As part of this acqui-hire, the founding members of Kint.io will join the Swiggy team

Online food delivery company Swiggy has acqui-hired Kint.io, a Bengaluru-based AI startup which applies deep learning and computer vision to recognize objects in videos. 

Kint.io which was founded in 2014, is the first technology-led acqui-hire for Swiggy, as unicorn startup moves ahead with its long-term strategy of building AI-first platforms to provide better customer experience. The Bengaluru-based foodtech company which last December raised $1 billion in a funding round led by existing investor Naspers, however did not divulge the financial terms. 

“The team at Kint.io comes with an exceptional understanding and expertise in AI, machine learning and data sciences,” said Dale Vaz,
