ChefKart’s founder and CEO, Vaibhav Gupta, claims that the firm is now growing by 15% month over month and intends to use the recently raised funds to expand geographically in Gurugram.

The company forecasts aggregation on top of the grocery delivery space, with a goal to capture the time spent by consumers planning their daily meals and their arrangements. “On the partner front, we are relentlessly working towards streamlining our home chefs’ onboarding and state-of-the-art training process,” Arpit Gupta, COO, ChefKart, said.

“ChefKart is driven by the idea to digitise an essential service that is largely unorganized. By also empowering the local community, they are on their way to developing a complete ground-to-customer supply-demand chain. It may be a challenging process, but the positive cash cycle model of ChefKart has significantly changed the way at-home cooking functions in India,” said Mukul Singhal, co-founder and partner at Pravega Ventures.
