Backed by Deepinder Goyal, ChefKart simplifies the process of finding a home cook
In an increasingly urban lifestyle with a paucity of time, finding competent cooks and handling daily kitchen intricacies can be challenging. This is what Vaibhav and Aman Gupta, friends since first year (2012) of college at IIT Kharagpur wanted to solve with ChefKart, a venture that they conceptualised in March 2020.
“We identified a significant gap in the industry that ran in an antiquated and unprofessional manner.
ChefKart aimed to revolutionise this by placing chefs directly in consumer kitchens, influencing household buying decisions and professionalising the sector,” says Vaibhav, 29.
Vaibhav says the aim is to bridge the gap between delicious food and a healthy lifestyle. “Central to our mission is also the liberation of women from kitchen duties, enabling them to pursue other aspirations.
This aligns perfectly with the evolving consumer landscape that seeks convenience, data-driven choices, and empowering household dynamics,” says Vaibhav, the co-founder of the company.
Vaibhav says ChefKart's uniqueness stems from its blend of technology for consumers and cook partners.
ChefKart has secured investments to the tune of Rs 27 crore from prominent individuals like Deepinder Goyal, Kunal Shah, Kunal Bahl, Rohit Bansal and has backing from ventures like Blume Ventures and Pravega Ventures.
What's cooking:
Chefkart has a variety of services like subscription and on-demand for various use-cases. “The chefs are equipped to prepare multi-cuisine food-from Chinese, Continental, Mexican to Japanese.
