Let’s take a look at 5 promising food-tech ventures in India that have emerged as game-changers in the Indian context.

1. Dash.menu: Sample food through FIDEOS before ordering

For long, while ordering or dining out, users couldn’t really sample their food. However, entry of Dash in India’s food-tech domain disrupts that status quo. Giving a break from the traditional paper or digital menus, Dash creates bite-sized fideos, short for food-videos. It helps users ‘see’ what they are ordering, exactly how the food is prepared or how it would look. Dash, thus, takes away the dependency on a trained staff or on the ability of users to decipher a well-articulate menu. It helps restaurants and cloud kitchens to upsell while minimising the buyer’s remorse.

2. Swiggy – Easy deliveries within 40 mins

The brand promises to fill provide exclusive cuisine in under 40-minutes. Helping customers to order food from top-rated restaurants in the vicinity, Swiggly also allows them to track the order in real-time. To ensure quicker deliveries, Swiggy has also partnered with internet-first restaurants like Brekkie and Eatongo. Swiggy has also ventured into the cloud-kitchen model, driven to provide the best experience to its customers.
