THE COMPANY
4.
5. THE BEGINNING
Deepinder Goyal was working as a management consultant and Pankaj Chaddah was
working as Senior Analyst at Bain.
At Bain, they saw a long line in office canteen to get a glance at a menu card. One day
they thought of finding a solution to this problem and the idea thought germinated in the
form of Foodiebay.
Foodiebay scanned the menu of the restaurants and posted it on the company private
network.
Soon the employees of Bains started using the website and thus saving their time and in
return bringing traffic to the website.
In 2010 it was renamed as Zomato.
6. EVOLUTION
Rate and Review Restaurants: During its initial days, Zomato was largely a website which
listed restaurants with basic details, where users were able to rate the restaurants listed on
their website. This feature was a big hit among foodies as they could now rely on peer
ratings and not ratings given by food critics
Filters for search: The first iteration of this feature consisted of users entering the city and
locality in the search bar where they wished to find restaurants and decide a restaurant they
would eventually prefer to visit.
Online Ordering :Zomato has evolved from a ratings website to a foodtech giant. This has
been possible due to adopting an agile framework and an excellent leadership with a vision.
After creating a large user base of users and restaurants, they ventured into the food
delivery business.
Zomato’s Future Plans: Zomato has discussed about setting up the Zomato Infrastructure
Services (ZIS). Through this, the company plans to work with current restaurant owners to
expand their business to more locations without incurring any fixed cost.
7. REASONS FOR SUCCESS
First Mover Advantage : Zomato was the first player in the industry to
unveil the concept of online restaurant discovery in India.
Robust Business Model: Zomato carved a unique, profitable business
model for itself right from the beginning, which helped them sail through even
during tough times, including the period of 2015-2016, when the startup was
experiencing significant losses
Strong Team : Well, in case you happen to interact with Deepinder Goyal
anytime about his brand’s journey, you would notice he would never miss
talking about his people. Out of the two things that he usually owes his
success to, one of them is his ambitious team, which he created right from
the beginning, and eventually kept expanding
Continuous Innovation and Evolution: The best thing about Zomato
has been that it never stopped – whether it was expanding [nationally or
internationally], designing new offerings, raising funds, acquisitions,
marketing, engagement, etc
8. REASONS FOR SUCCESS
Continuous Inflow of Funds: Zomato was fortunate from the time it laid its
foundation, as it continued to attract great attention from a series of interesting
investors, who pumped in large sums of money and aided the expansion and
growth of the company
Strong Competition Analysis : Zomato never lost sight of its competition. It
always stayed one step ahead, no matter what. The entry of Swiggy posed a grave
threat to its existence, when it entered the market with full force, riding high on
online food deliveries. However, the foodtech giant was quick enough to switch over
its model, getting into the realm of deliveries itself. Having the first mover
advantage, it kept up its market share.
