With the daily life of working couples getting very hectic we see a rise in eating out and home delivery of food in India. The Indian Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) industry is considered to be around $1.6 Billion. The QSRs are growing at 20% per annum in India.

  • India’s food market is pegged at $14 billion, negligible portion is online
  • Below 10% of India’s food industry is organized
  • 52% of restaurants don’t offer home delivery in India
  • Average food delivery time in India today is 50 minutes
  • 30% of all restaurants shut int he first year of operation (it costs Rs 25-30 lakhs per month to operate a fine dining restaurant in urban India)

  • Well funded Zomato has not stopped 18 restaurant discover startups to plunge into this space (source Traxn)

Acquisitions in Online Food Market

Recently it was heartening to read about the acquisition of JustEat, they operated out of Oneindia office during their early days. Always happy to see when people you know get an exit.
