Swiggy opens AI commerce stack to external developers with Builders Club
The new initiative is aimed at expanding the AI ecosystem of Swiggy with the opportunity for outsiders to build new applications with real life use cases.
Swiggy has announced the upcoming launch of Builders Club, a developer programme that opens its AI commerce infrastructure to external developers, startups, and enterprises building AI-native applications on top of its platforms.
Built on AWS and powered by Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore, the programme gives approved builders access to three MCP servers and over 18 API tools spanning Swiggy Food, Instamart, and Dineout. Developers can use these to create AI agents, copilots, and assistants capable of taking several actions like ordering food, shopping for groceries, or booking dining experiences.
Builders Club follows Swiggy's earlier MCP launch, which opened the company's core commerce infrastructure to AI systems. The new programme goes a step further, adding an ecosystem layer that defines how external builders engage with Swiggy, what capabilities they can access, and how promising integrations can evolve into deeper partnerships.
The programme runs on AWS's enterprise AI stack, including Amazon Bedrock for unified access to foundation models from Anthropic, Meta, and Mistral AI; AWS Trainium chips that promise up to 50% savings on training costs and 30–40% better inference performance; and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a framework-agnostic service for building agentic AI applications.
Swiggy CTO Madhusudhan Rao described the initiative as a shift from platform to ecosystem orchestrator. "We are providing the foundational layer for AI-native commerce innovation," he said, adding that Builders Club gives the developer community enterprise-grade infrastructure from day one.
Sandeep Dutta, President of AWS India and South Asia, said the partnership demonstrates how open AI infrastructure can accelerate innovation across India's digital economy.
A key component of the programme is its Skills framework, reusable capabilities that help AI agents handle real-world tasks more effectively. Builders Club is also where Swiggy's MCP integrations and its upcoming Builders Platform will converge for external developers.
Access is invite-led and application-based, designed to manage quality and build early community momentum. Benefits include live API access, generous rate limits, direct engineering support, co-branding opportunities, and a path to growth partnerships for standout projects.
