“Let’s address the horse in the room,” they wrote as the caption of the post. Besides sharing the now-viral video, then also added a few lines about the incident.

“Attention netizens and foodies! It has come to our notice that a recent amateur video of an unknown person, carrying our monogrammed delivery bag while sitting quite confidently on a living white horse (not a statue), has propelled us to unexpected but not unappreciated fame,” they wrote. Then they added, “While we’d like to take some credit for the man’s ingenious plan and vehicle of choice, we really can’t. That’s mainly because, just like most of you, we too have not yet been able to find out” along with a few questions that are making them think. There is a possibility you may have the same questions too.

In their post, Swiggy also announced a reward. “It’s 5K in Swiggy Money for the first person who can give us some useful intel about our accidental brand ambassadors, so we can thank them,” they expressed.
