Swiggy, the popular food delivery platform, has announced a unique job opening for a "Gifting Curator" to design premium gift products for both the Indian and global markets. The exciting opportunity was shared on X by Shivangi Srivastava, Assistant Vice President of New Initiatives at Swiggy, which quickly garnered widespread attention on social media.
The ideal candidate will be responsible for curating a range of high-end gift products that reflect exceptional taste and aesthetic sensibility. Although Swiggy has yet to provide a formal application link, interested candidates are encouraged to contact Ms. Srivastava directly via direct message on X for further details.
"Here is a very interesting job description that we are hiring for at Swiggy. Looking to onboard a gifting curator with the ability to curate high-end gift products in India and worldwide. We're looking for someone with exceptional taste and aesthetic sensibility. Please DM," Ms. Srivastava wrote.
The job posting has sparked significant buzz on social media, with comparisons drawn to Zomato's unconventional job announcements in recent months.

The interest in Swiggy's "Gifting Curator" role follows a similar trend seen in November, when Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal posted about an unconventional "chief of staff" role, which included no salary for the first year but required a Rs 20 lakh donation to Feeding India.

Minister Parameshwara says remarks on properties linked to drug peddlers 'misunderstood'
Tumakuru (PTI): Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Saturday said his recent remarks on the demolition of properties linked to those involved in narcotics trade were "misunderstood and misinterpreted".
His clarification follows remarks made two days ago on the government's uncompromising crackdown on the drug menace, including action against properties linked to foreign nationals allegedly involved in drug trafficking.
"It is unfortunate. It is taken in the wrong sense. I didn't mean that tomorrow itself I am going to send bulldozers and demolish the houses. That was not my intention. It was wrongly taken," he told reporters here.
Responding to Congress MLC K Abdul Jabbar's question in the legislative council on the growing drug menace in Bengaluru, Davangere and coastal districts, the minister on Thursday detailed the extensive enforcement measures initiated since the Congress government assumed office.
Pointing to the involvement of some foreign nationals, the minister had said, "Many foreign students from African countries have come to Karnataka. They are into the drug business. We catch them and register cases against them, but they want the case to be registered because once the case is registered, we cannot deport them."
"We have gone to the extent of demolishing the rented building where they stay," he had said.
