Startup Comfort Curries in talks to raise equity; Mumbai-based venture plans to widen its reach across city from January 2020
FirstpostA total of $5.24 billion has been raised by Indian start-ups between 2014 and H1 2019, of which 56 percent has been for food-tech start-ups, according to a recent report There are platforms that deliver home-cooked food and there are online sites where those interested to eat a particular cuisine can pay and have the meal in the warmth of a stranger’s family and return home with some good memories. In the crowded food startup sector, Comfort Curries has entered with specialty cuisine as its raison d’etre. The first order was delivered with the help of temporary hires who were good cooks but had to be supervised to make traditional Bohri food as Bandookwala’s mother makes it. It’s comfort food time for those customers with a penchant for authentic fare and the many who have the skills to make traditional items from a particular cuisine and get paid for it.
