The Idea of Zomato<\/strong><\/h2>

<\/p>

While working at Bain, Deepinder noticed that his colleagues often faced difficulty in ordering food from nearby restaurants, as they had to rely on paper menus or phone calls. He realized that there was a need for an online platform that would provide comprehensive information about restaurants, such as menus, reviews, ratings, photos, and contact details.\u00a0He also saw the potential of tapping into the growing internet and smartphone penetration in India, and the increasing demand for convenience and variety in food options.<\/p>

They bootstrapped their business, and relied on word-of-mouth marketing to attract users and restaurants. They gradually expanded their coverage to other cities, such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, and Kolkata.
