Funny list. I'm curious why something like swiggy.com, a food ordering and delivery platform is there. Do they even operate in china?

If they were going to, they won't now.

They don't operate in China but I'm pretty sure they have received funding from chinese investors.
blocking is not always that fine-grained; there are tons of IPs/domains blocked that have nothing to do with China
probably a tit-for-tat against India banning a lot of Chinese services back in 2020
