In collaboration with Singham Again stars Ajay Devgn and director Rohit Shetty, Swiggy used its recently launched Swiggy XL Fleet, a fleet of electric vehicles built for bulk deliveries, to complete the massive order.
Swiggy set a new Guinness World Record for the largest vada pav delivery in a single order by working with the producers of the upcoming movie 'Singham Again'.
World record of 11,000 vadapav in single order
Delivering 11,000 vada pavs to students from schools aided by the Robin Hood Army, an NGO dedicated to combating hunger through the distribution of excess food, set a new record.
The vada pavs, which were supplied by Mumbai vendor MM Mithaiwala, were shared with children throughout the city, including schools in Bandra, Juhu, Andheri East, Malad, and Borivali that are supported by the Robin Hood Army.
