Noida-based Homefoodi, India’s first mobile app dedicated to providing authentic home-made food made by home chefs to their customers, is currently having a successful run. With a significant increase in the number of chefs associated with Homefoodi, it has now touched the 150 mark. It also offers access to a wide range of bakery products prepared by home chefs.
During the inception of Homefoodi, the company initiated a research across the metro cities and met up with over 2,000 respondents (homemakers and consumers) which indicated that over 10 per cent of the homemakers would be keen to start up a home kitchen if they had a platform that could address their challenges and help them do business in a professional way.
The consumer research further established the love for home food, with over 90 per cent of the respondents preferring home food over outside eating. As per the research, 97 per cent of consumers rightly trusted home food to be healthy and hygienic. Homefoodi thus joined the two insights to create a two-fold mission of ghar-ghar start-up and healthy nation.
Homefoodi is a venture started by Narendra Singh Dahiya and Dr Mona Dahiya with a vision to help Ghar Ki Lakshmi to transform into Bharat Ki Lakshmi, thus empowering women by giving them a platform to work and earn from home.
Speaking at the association, Narendra, who serves as its founder and director, stated, “It gives us immense pride and joy to be associated with over 150 home chefs. Homefoodi is an initiative to empower every homemaker to contribute towards nation-building. We are thrilled that these home chefs can now create their own unique identity and reach out to countless customers at the comfort of their homes.”
Having a concrete expansion plan, Homefoodi plans to be present across the top 10 cities of India, with over one lakh home chefs on their platform within the next two years. Starting from the grass-roots level, Homefoodi is climbing up its own way to triumph aiming to create India’s biggest self-employment chain by creating a culture of home chefs through a mobile platform to earn from home being a home chef.
“We are humbled with the encouraging response from consumers, and we will end our first year of operations with over one lakh consumers. We currently have over 150 home chefs in Noida, and have already received over 500 new registrations from home chefs in Noida alone. Every day, we are getting over 20 new submissions,” Narendra added.
With a vision to unite the world through localised home food, Homefoodi plans to be present in five key global markets in the next five years.
