I applied through university. I interviewed at Swiggy (Kottayam) in May 2026
Interview
They asked 2 questions in the first round. The first one will be an SQL question, and it will be swiggy-centric.
The second one will be a DSA question, which is usually easy.
In the second round, they ask you core ML Questions, like technologies used in your project and in internships.
The third round will be problem-solving skills; they basically give you a problem statement and ask how you will approach it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Python Coding Questions
Given a list of customer orders where each order contains multiple dishes, find the pair of dishes that appear together in the highest number of orders.
Example: If dishes A and B appear together in multiple orders, return the pair with the maximum co-occurrence count.
Given a list containing duplicate numbers (e.g., [2, 2, 5, 7, 5]), return only the distinct elements.
Using list comprehension, generate the squares of the first 10 positive integers.
Expected output: [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100]
Given a paragraph and a list of banned words, find the most frequent word that is not banned.
Example:
Paragraph: "Bob hit a ball, the hit BALL flew far after it was hit."
Banned: ["hit"]
Output: "ball"
SQL Questions
Tables:
Restaurant Table:
restaurant_id
dist_id
Driver Earnings Table:
de_id
date
order_id
earnings
Dish Availability Table:
dist_id
available (0/1)
last_updated
Questions:
Find the total number of orders delivered by each driver on each day.
For each dish at each restaurant, find the most recent availability status using the latest last_updated timestamp.
The interview focused on SQL fundamentals, Python problem-solving, and basic machine learning concepts. The coding questions were not heavily focused on DSA but more on practical data manipulation and reasoning.
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Swiggy (Bengaluru) in Sept 2025
Interview
Interview was scheduled after resume selection .
Interviewer was supportive.
In the 1st round I was asked questions related to sql ( join, window function, cte) with some follow ups, some question related to python and basic dsa on array.
