Local Food Listing Directory

About Us

Swaado is an initiative of Brains Media Solutions Private Limited, a digital marketing powerhouse rooted in Belagavi (Belgaum), Karnataka.

Our Story

For over a decade, Brains Media Solutions has built a reputation for excellence in content marketing, SEO, website development and social‑media marketing.

From Digital Marketing to Food Empowerment

Swaado is an initiative of Brains Media Solutions Private Limited, a digital marketing powerhouse rooted in Belagavi, Karnataka. For over a decade, we’ve built a reputation for excellence in content marketing, SEO, and social media marketing.

During years of collaborating with local entrepreneurs, we noticed that talented home cooks, bakers, and micro-businesses lacked an efficient way to reach wider audiences. Traditional food-delivery apps focus primarily on larger restaurants, leaving home-based ventures under-represented.

"In 2025, we launched Swaado—dedicated exclusively to promoting and connecting food makers of all sizes."

What We Do

Swaado is not a food‑delivery platform. Instead, it’s a listing and discovery directory. We provide food entrepreneurs with a digital storefront where they can showcase their products, tell their stories and connect with customers in their locality.

Promote Visibility

Gain exposure to an audience eager to support local and home-made offerings.

Enable Connections

Bridge the gap between community and small food businesses without charging commission.

Support Growth

Share marketing insights and resources to help turn passion into sustainable business.

Champion Diversity

Welcome anyone who works with food, honoring India's rich culinary traditions.

Our Vision

To create India’s largest online food directory, empowering small food businesses across the country by giving them a digital stage to shine.

Our Mission

To ensure every home chef and micro‑food entrepreneur—from the college student making homemade jam to the street vendor serving savoury snacks—has a fair chance to be discovered and supported. We aim to democratise food marketing and celebrate the diversity of India’s culinary landscape.

Our Team

Swaado is driven by a passionate team that believes in the potential of small food businesses.
