Yummy! 6 Popular Online Food Delivery Startups in India

Online food delivery service is a growing industry in India as we’ve seen quite a few players making their mark in that space. Here we look at six popular online food delivery startups that are helping India enjoy tastier lives at home:

1. FoodPanda

Launched in March last year, Rocket Internet’s FoodPanda has rapidly become one of the major players in India to look out for. The startup now serves customers in 12 cities in India with 2,000 restaurant choices. Being a typical Rocket Internet portfolio company, FoodPanda recently raised a whopping $20 million to conquer the online food delivery service in eight Asian countries.

Alexa ranking: FoodPanda India sits at 1,041st locally, with 12,323th position globally.

2. JustEat

UK-based JustEat made its first move to the Indian market in 2011 by acquiring a majority stake in local startup HungryZone. Now JustEat delivers food from over 2,500 restaurants in India’s three cities of Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi-NCR. The company also handles online table bookings.

JustEat comes prepared with a buckload of money too. Last year the startup raised $64 million in series C funding. JustEat partners with local lifestyle search engine Burrp for its online food ordering feature.

Alexa ranking: JustEat is locally positioned at 2,617th. Its global ranking is 26,565th.

3. TastyKhana

Started as early as 2007, TastyKhana now connects users to 3,000 restaurants located in seven cities in India. The startup is backed by European-based online food delivery company DeliveryHero, which has presence in 14 countries, with early seed as well as series A round.

This cooperation with DeliveryHero has so far proven effective as TastyKhana records 400 percent in order volume growth since establishing the partnership.
