Rapido Expands Food Delivery App Ownly to Hyderabad with a Unique Captain Biryani Celebration

Following its initial rollout in Bengaluru, mobility platform Rapido has officially brought its standalone food delivery app, Ownly, to Hyderabad. Known for its iconic biryani houses, Irani cafes, and bustling late-night kitchens, Hyderabad serves as a natural second home for the platform. Ownly introduces a transparent, price-honest model that puts restaurants and consumers first. Under its zero-commission framework, partner restaurants pay no platform fees and keep what they earn, while customers are charged only a fair delivery fee reflecting the actual cost of transport, eliminating hidden charges and inflated menu prices.

Celebrating Captains with a Special Biryani Party:
To mark the launch, Ownly placed its delivery workforce known as Captains at the forefront of the celebrations. Recognizing their foundational role in powering daily logistics and bridging communities, Ownly hosted a special biryani party for Rapido Captains across Hyderabad. Adding star power to the occasion, Telugu superstar Nani attended the event, spending quality time and interacting with the local Captain community. Co-founder Aravind Sanka noted that starting the journey with the Captains was essential, as they are the ones who carry the brand’s service promise to every doorstep in the city.

Market Impact and Future Growth:
The arrival of Ownly is set to generate lucrative supplementary earning opportunities for Rapido Captains by integrating food delivery demand with the established mobility ecosystem. As the platform scales across the city, the trusted Captain network will remain central to maintaining reliability and accessibility. By introducing a transparent alternative to the existing market landscape, Ownly aims to spark healthier competition that benefits both local eateries and everyday consumers.
