What happens when dabba-walas meet gourmet cooks? A unique business idea is born :-)
Two young graduates of delhi-based international management Institute, Samarth Gupta and Pavan Kumar Varma, have fused two seemingly opposing ideas - homely meals organised delivery of lunch at offices - to blaze a new trend.
Both the boys came up with a model, created a centrailsed kitchen in East Delhi, invited housewives with a passion for cooking to a contestand then threw open part-time day jobs to talented home cooks looking for recognition.
This initiative was a part of their academic project, where they found out that there is a demand for home-made food. And after identifying the demand they decided to run this competition to spot who cook well. Three venture capital firms have already approached them.
A Bangalore based executive turned home entrepreneur, Sonia Mahanti, runs similar venture that specialises in regional cuisines. She use to work for Samsung, picked up the idea of delievering speciality food after noticing the demand of north Indian food in Bangalore.
She now runs a home made food delivery service that employs around 10 women who are experts in different Indian cuisines.
In Delhi, four women who made it to the top grade in the cookery contest have joined Poshan, which has a base Kitchen at Patparganj. They have arranged a pick-up drop facility for women who come to cook meal.
Now we see the dabba system almost at every office and enjoy the home made food :-)
