Zomato
Zomato is a food delivery and restaurant hunting company launched in 2010 by Deepinder Goyal and Pankaj Chaddah. It is one of the key players in India’s food tech industry.
Having started in India, Zomato expanded internationally by gradually entering countries including the US, UK, UAE, Australia, and some in Europe and Asia. However, in November 2021, it stopped its services everywhere except India and the United Arab Emirates.
Zomato also launched its initial public offering (IPO) in July 2021 and was one of the largest in India’s tech sector. In 2022, Zomato acquired Blinkit for $550 million.
Zomato also has a platform called Hyperpure, which allows restaurants to purchase supplies ranging from condiments to veggies and eco-friendly packaging.
It also organises an annual carnival, Zomaland, which offers a variety of culinary experiences, with live performances by musicians and comedians.
