Chapter 1 –
Introduction of study
Online food ordering is the process of food delivery or takeout from a local restaurant or
food cooperative through a web page or app. Much like ordering consumer goods online,
many of these services allow customers to keep accounts with them in order to make
frequent ordering convenient. A customer will search for a favorite restaurant, usually
filtered via type of cuisine and choose from available items, and choose delivery or pick-
up. Payment can be amongst others either by credit card, debit card, online payment or
cash, with the restaurant returning a percentage to the online food company.
The e-services market segment Online Food Delivery contains the user and revenue
development of two different delivery service solutions for prepared meals:
(1) Restaurant-to-Consumer Delivery
(2) Platform-to-Consumer Delivery
Revenue includes the gross merchandise value (GMV) which is defined as the total sales
dollar value for merchandise/food sold through the Online Food Delivery marketplace.

The first online food order was a pizza from Pizza Hut in 1994. The first online food
ordering service, World Wide Waiter (now known as Waiter.com), was founded in
1995. The site originally serviced only northern California, later expanding to several
additional cities in the United States. By the late 2000s, major pizza chains had created
their own mobile applications and started doing 20-30% of their business online. With
increased smartphone penetration, and the growth of both Uber and the sharing economy,
food delivery startups started to receive more attention. Instacart was founded in 2012.] In
2013, Seamless and Grubhub merged.By 2015, online ordering began overtaking phone
ordering. As of September 2016, online delivery accounted for about 3 percent of the 61
billion U.S. restaurant transactions.
A decade back eating out had not been a prominent feature in an Indian’s life but over the
years, due to changing consumption pattern, eating out has gained momentum. This
changing pattern has ensured constant growth for the Indian Food Services market.
India’s Food Services market has come a long way from early 1980’s when the number
of organized brands were countable and the market otherwise was dominated by un-
organized players. The revolution in this sector began in 1996 with the opening up of
restaurants by

Search and choose food with quantity- Then the customers have to search for the food
which they want to have and they can also order it from the desired restaurant with the
quantity of food they want to order.
Finalise order- After surfing the food with quantity customers just need to finalise the
order.
Payment by customer- After selecting the desired food customers have to make the
payment. It could be done via debit/credit card or else cash on delivery option is also
available for the customers.
Online store owner- The marketplace owner cuts commission & routes order to
restaurant for delivery.
Restaurant process order- Then the restaurant process and prepare the food which is
ordered.
Merchant or 3rd party delivery service- At the end food is prepared and it is delivered
either by the restaurant or by 3rd party delivery services.
The meaning of foodtech has evolved over the years. Earlier, it referred to food
processing and the technology used for its manufacturing. Now, it pertains to the online
food ordering and delivery services market. Adequate funding and investments in this
market space have enabled companies to provide online food delivery services that have
never been seen before.
The popularity of online food delivery service can be attributed to the several benefits it
provides, such as food delivered to the doorstep of the customer, various payment
options, attractive discounts, rewards, and cashback offers. Restaurants and cafes also
find it profitable to sell their food through online mediums since it reduces a significant
amount of operational overheads. College students, working couples and office goers are
the key target audience of foodtech companies.
More than 80% of the orders that come on these online food delivery platforms are from
the top five Indian cities, out of the 20 where they are active. The report online food
delivery market in India (2018-2023) takes a look at the current market scenario, its
segmentations, drivers and deterrents of growth, investments, the competitive landscape,
and recent developments.
Political
Any business firm wishing to enter the overseas market is highly prone to political risks.
The political decisions made by a host country are likely to affect the organisational
productivity and profitability. Extreme political actions can very detrimental. The digital
India campaign that was recently launched by the country's Prime Minister Narendra
Modi is more likely to allow the company to get more internet penetration in India and
everyone can easily access from every corner of the market. Zomato can exploit this
opportunity to cover many restaurants of cities using the Digital India Campaign. The
Indian government puts more focus on ease of doing business in the country because it
encourages foreign direct investment. In this regard, Zomato can be a beneficiary with
such kinds of investment. The government puts emphasis on skill development among
the youths who will eventually help many people with skills and knowledge. Zomato
requires skilled people to enable it to penetrate and establish itself in the market. In this
case, Zomato can hire skilled people from the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana
program that develops skills of the youths.
Socio- Cultural
In the last six years, Zomato has turned out to be the country's favourite online restaurant
discovery tool. However, it has influenced the manner in which individuals select their
preferred restaurants. The changing lifestyle patterns and income levels of the Indian
working population, and this is advantageous to Zomato. This is because many young
people and new age working couples like eat out, with this category attracting about 30%
in 2012. For this reason, user engagement in its website is therefore critical for customer
participation. Finally, customer service Zomato has been amazing and going by the
friendly replies from the customers, the company has managed to maintain customer
loyalty. As a dimension of social engagement with people, Zomato stays ahead over its
competitors.
Technological
Environmental
Legal
The company is required by the Indian law to comply with all regulations that control
technology firms in the country. This ensures that it is used effectively without being
subjected to abuse. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued
revised guidelines that directly impact online food and grocery operators such as Grofers
and BigBasket as well as food delivery platforms like Swiggy and Zomato. The national
food regulator said it's stepping up scrutiny of ecommerce food companies because there
can be no compromise on last-mile delivery and safety of food products. Food products
offered for sale are liable to sampling at any point in the supply chain. Companies will
also need to provide an indicative image of the food on their platforms so that consumers
can recognise the product. All mandatory information mentioned in the Food Safety and
Standards (FSS) Act will also have to be provided to consumers before purchase and only
fresh food should be delivered to consumers.
Zomato is of the strong belief that their focus on restaurant discovery and facilitating a
holistic dining experience gives them an edge over competition. As Deepinder Goyal,
founder, Zomato, says, Zomato is driven to constantly improve our product within the
space with a small margin of error. Zomato realizes that it is a winner-takes-all and is
therefore focused on dominating the competition within its space.
Google Maps - Latest release of Google Maps for desktops includes listings of
restaurants in the neighborhood. It also facilitates restaurant search and provides photos,
reviews, ratings and even the floor the business is located at. Zomato’s advantage over
Maps is that Maps hasn’t started menu listings yet.
Local Competition- FoodPanda and swiggy- FoodPanda gained first mover advantage
by launching the online order facility earlier than Zomato, thus resulting in Zomato losing
relevant market share
JustDial- JustDial offers a wide range of restaurant listings; however, it loses out against
Zomato as it doesn’t have an equivalent collection of reviews, photos and user
engagement.
Global Competition- Yelp-Basic difference between Yelp and Zomato is that while
Yelp publishes crowd-sourced reviews, organizes social events and provides basic data
about businesses, Zomato provides information (photos, menus and geographic
coordinates) and allows users to create their own network of foodies for personalized
recommendations. The flipside for Zomato: Total number of unique monthly visitors to
Yelp is a staggering 139 million, amounting to four times Zomato’s existing traffic of 35
million. In terms of revenue, Zomato earned $6 million in revenue compared to Yelp’s
$232 million in 2014. Timeout- Founded in 1968, it has become a global authority on
entertainment and events all across the world. With a reach to 39 million people, it has a
huge market share, however is more known for providing information on events and
happenings than restaurant listings and reviews Since majority of users check rating and
not reviews, it is very important to maintain fair ratings on the website.
Competitive Rivalry-
Foodpanda– foodpanda who has also acquired TastyKhana and JustEat is a competitor
to Zomato in this marketspace. But, as per one of interviews with Mr. Deepinder Goyal,
Zomato doesn’t consider it as a threat because foodpanda in spite of being present in
market for 3 years has clocked only 10,000 orders a day whereas people visiting Zomato
has 1, 00,000 searches a day. Zomato’s large sales team gives an added advantage to
Zomato.
Burrp! – Burrp! is a competitor to Zomato. But due to its expansion from restaurant
listing to other divisions such as events and retail outlets, the company’s focus has been
distributed whereas Zomato has stuck to its core functions.
Swiggy- Swiggy is a food ordering and delivery company based out of Bangalore, India.
Swiggy was inspired by the thought of providing a complete food ordering and delivery
13 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]
solution from the best neighbourhood restaurants to the urban foodie. A single window
for ordering from a wide range of restaurants, they have our own exclusive fleet of
delivery personnel to pick up orders from restaurants and deliver it to customers. Having
their own fleet gives them the flexibility to offer customers a no minimum order policy
on any restaurant and accept online payments for all partner restaurants that they work
with. Our delivery personnel carry one order at a time which ensures they get reliable and
fast deliveries.
UberEATS- On-demand cab hailing services firm Uber on Tuesday launched a new food
delivery service named UberEATS to rival services offered by Zomato, foodpanda and
Swiggy. Food prices are set by restaurant partners according to their own menu and
there’s a delivery fee of Rs 15, inclusive of taxes. There is no minimum order size.
Barriers to Entry – Barriers to entry are very high as there are already major players
established in market. Zomato is very well established and market leader. There are other
players such as foodpanda, TinyOwl and ubereats, which have already having decent
market share.
Presence of various competitor apps in the market means that it is easy for the
buyers to switch to other apps like food panda, swiggy, ubereats.
With improving features, and upgrades such as food ordering, people may switch
to other apps offering better features.
Since it is easy-to-use online platform, constraints related to distribution is
eliminated. This removes a potential factor for bargaining of buyers
For Zomato the suppliers are the restaurants with which the company makes a
collaboration and deliver the food of that particular restaurant to the end
customer.
As these days there are many online food delivery businesses available in the
market thus, restaurants have the ability to partner with any of the major food
Advanced technologies:
This is another area where Zomato has taken huge strides. As mentioned earlier in the
technological analysis, the app and website are aesthetically beautiful and the whole
experience is enriching! Thus new entrants will have to come up with an overhaul of the
whole strategy as far as application and technological advancements are concerned.
Innovation in technology positively affects Zomato.
Economies of scale positively affects large producer by lowering the cost of the next unit
of output at lower cost. Thus it is relatively easier and economical for Zomato to expand
at a faster pace. Any new entrant will have to pump in a lot of investment to challenge
Zomato because they will have smaller economies of scale. However, this is one area
where if the new entrant can generate enough capital they can challenge Zomato on the
ground level even though economies of scale are tilted towards Zomato.
A brand name is a must to survive in the industry. Zomato has been very effective in the
past few years. However, they have been late in entering the ordering segment and Food
Panda has taken effective strides in the same. Any new competitors will need to work
extensively on their brand value in order to effectively compete. Thus this threat is low
for Zomato however they need to constantly innovate in different verticals to ensure that
they build on the advantage that they have created.
Food Panda is present in 200 Indian cities and has made huge strides in the recent past
however it is still considerably lagging Zomato in terms of territory covered as Zomato
has presence not only in huge number of Indian cities but also in different countries and
they are taking strides very fast. Tying up with restaurants and getting the information
organized in the way Zomato has done is a huge challenge for any new entrant. However,
seeing the pace at which Zomato has reached out and expanded it seems possible and
thus Zomato will have to constantly maintain that advantage and keep coming out with
new and innovative models.
COMPANY PROFILE
Zomato is a restaurant search and discovery app and website, providing in-depth
information about restaurants. Zomato is used by consumers globally to discover, rate
and review restaurants, as well as create their own personal network of foodies for trusted
recommendations. In addition to restaurant search and discovery, it has expanded its
offering to include Online Ordering, Table Reservations, a Whitelabel Platform and a
Point-of-Sale system, creating the technology to connect restaurant businesses and
customers.
Zomato, which started as Foodiebay, was established in July 2008 by two IIT Delhi
alumnus, Deepinder Goyal, and Pankaj Chaddah. The idea struck Deepinder when his
colleagues consistently had a demand for paper menu leaflets of different restaurants, to
order food. That's when he thought of converting these restaurant paper menus into a
digital app, which is far more accessible and easier to use. The online food delivery space
in India is dominated by two big players- Zomato and Swiggy. There are other players
like Foodpanda, JustEat, TastyKhana and FoodMingo but the competition for the No 1
position is majorly confined between Zomato and Swiggy, backed by big global investors
and a large user base.
Between 2010 and 2013, Zomato received its biggest funding of approximately USD 16.7
million (INR 167, 000, 00) from “Info Edge India”. This gave them a 57.9% stake in the
company. In the November 2013, another lucky round of funding got a new investor to
pitch in- Sequoia Capital. They with Info Edge took the total sum of that round to USD
37 million.
In a fresh round a year later, Info Edge, Sequoia, and a new investor- Vy Capital raised
USD 60 million for the company. The total funding of Zomato by the beginning of 2015,
was a promising USD 113 million. In 2015, along with the 3 initial investors, Temasek- a
Singapore based investment company, also pitched in, bringing in USD 110 million for
that year.
2016 was a slow year for the company in terms of funding, but 2017 picked the pace up
again with WhatsApp’s Neeraj Arora adding to the list of investors and raising a
conservative USD 20 million. This racked up the total funding of Zomato to USD 223.8
million since its founding in 2008.
With the most recent rounds of funding, things started looking peachy for the company in
March 2018, especially with Alibaba’s Ant Financial coming into the picture with a
whopping USD 150 million.
Acquisitions:
Zomato has acquired 12 startups globally. In July 2014, Zomato made its first acquisition
by buying Menu-mania for an undisclosed sum. The company pursued other acquisitions
such as lunchtime.cz and obedovat.sk for a combined US$3.25 million. In September
2014, Zomato acquired Poland-based restaurant search service Gastronauci for an
undisclosed sum. Three months later, it acquired Italian restaurant search service
Cibando.
Zomato acquired Seattle-based food portal Urbanspoon for an estimated $60 million in
2015. Other acquisitions of 2015 include Mekanist in an all-cash deal, the Delhi based
startup MapleGraph that built MaplePOS (renamed as Zomato Base, and NexTable, a
US- based table reservation and restaurant management platform.
Growth:
As funding started picking up the pace in 2010, Zomato’s presence across India did too.
By 2011 the company after establishing a monopoly in Delhi NCR moved to cities like
Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Ahmadabad.
It kept pace with the smartphone boom too, by introducing its mobile app at this point in
time. The company in order to keep up with its hip brand image and humor its audiences
launched a .xxx domain which had pictures strictly dedicated to food porn.
By 2012, overseas operations of Zomato started operating in full gear with the UAE, Sri
Lanka, Qatar, United Kingdom, Philippines, and South Africa becoming a part of its user
base. In 2013, countries like Turkey, Brazil, and New Zealand were also added to the list.
While its expansion was happening in full force, Zomato also started acquiring foreign-
based companies to maximize its business. In 2013 it acquired Portuguese company
Gastronauci and the Italian service Cibando. A big acquisition came in when they got a
hold of the American service called NexTable which catapulted Zomato into the US
market’s competition.
Zomato was founded by Deepinder Goyal and Pankaj Chaddah, both of whom are from
IIT, Delhi. Deepinder Goyal currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at
Zomato. Prior to launching Zomato, he used to work at Bain & Company as a Senior
Associate Consultant. Pankaj Chaddah is the co-founder and prior to launching Zomato,
he had worked at Bain & Company as a Senior Analyst and Associate Consultant.
Strength:
First mover advantage – One of the best competitive advantages of Zomato is that it is
the first mover in many of the nations where it is establishing itself. Directories and other
forms of restaurant ratings might exist. But as an app Zomato is excellent and many
countries (like India) have loved the usability of the Zomato app.
Evergreen industry – The restaurant industry is an evergreen industry. Sure, there may
be recessions and other downturns which might affect the industry. But overall, this
industry is going to stick around at all times and is only going to grow with rising
disposable income.
Fantastic design of the app – Zomato has regularly won awards for its app design and
for its user-friendliness. The App design is fantastic and it helps you discover restaurants
nearby as well as in an area you are going to visit.
Focused approach – The brand has a much focused approach and has always tried to
bring the most of out of its unique offering. It is well connected with restaurants and
regularly takes feedback from customers as well as restaurants. This focused approach
has also helped the brand image and reputation of the firm.
Excellent funding available – Zomato has picked multiple rounds of funding over the
years and because it is now so well established in many countries, there is a lot of funding
available for the app.
Multiple acquisitions – Zomato has acquired multiple companies most of which are
software or technology related.
Fantastic marketing – You can find Zomato working for its own marketing offline as
well as online. Its print ads are hilarious and make an immediate connect with the
audience. It is strong on Social media marketing and uses a combination of ATL and
BTL strategies to attract and retain customers.
Weaknesses:
Security issues for the app – A major issue for Zomato in the past has been some
security issues due to which the app was hacked and at least 17 million users’ data was
copied. Such security issues are a nightmare for internet companies.
Still a lot of expansion required – Considering that the app has established in 24
countries, there is good expansion. But at the same time, the app has been started 7 years
back and with the amount of funding available for Zomato, the expansion can be much
faster. It is allowing other services to establish themselves in this niche before it reaches
their country.
Opportunities:
More acquisitions – There are and were many small players in this space. Zomato can
acquire several of its competitors and at the same time, it has to keep an eye on the tech
industry and acquire any tech innovation it can get its hands on to keep on rising.
Cloud restaurants – Zomato is coming up with the concept of Cloud restaurants wherein
restaurants will not have to get a physical space to actually sell their food products.
Instead, they can sell from Zomato.
Creating a community – Zomato does have a huge following but the users do not
interact with each other. Creating a forum and a community out of the users already
following Zomato can be a huge benefit for the brand.
Adoption of the internet and Smartphones – There is a huge increase in the adoption
of Internet across developing and underdeveloped countries as well. Similarly, adoption
of smartphone has also increased. Thus more and more orders and research about
restaurants can happen online instead of through physical visits.
Threats:
Google’s schema module – One of the major threats Zomato faces right now is the
Schema module of Google wherein google locations itself is getting in restaurant
recommendations. Even google homepage shows the google maps page where you can
search for restaurants
23 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]
within your locality. Google being such a big brand, zomato faces huge competition from
them.
Market followers and challengers – In the service industry, it is very easy to replicate
the success of another service product or offering. Similarly, marketing followers and
challengers can slowly take away the market share of Zomato. Intense competition from
National and international brands - With expansion to various countries, it now has
competitors like Yelp (revenue $377.5 million) which are much older and bigger than
Zomato. On the other hand, we have small players which are slowly covering ground in
domestic area.

98% of restaurants fail within the first year and Zomato can help! Zomato sits on a pile of
data and information. They have an in-built analytics platform that run a lot of queries
and get valuable information out. Say if a person wants to open a new restaurant, they can
connect with Zomato and find out the success rate of opening a restaurant in a particular
location. Restaurant owners can also find out what is the most popular type of food in the
area, understand the needs of the users and provide a complimenting service that will help
build their business.
Zomato Events:
Zomato has forayed into the events space by partnering with restaurants and creating
exclusive events. They make a sale through the price of the tickets. A lot of Zomato
hosted new-year parties were held.
The food delivery product wherein the restaurants pay a nominal fee to enable online
ordering from their Zomato page so users can get a tasty meal delivered at their doorsteps
via Zomato.
Zomato Gold:
Zomato says that Zomato Gold, its loyalty program that gives users discounts when they
visit selected restaurants, now contributes to 12% of its monthly revenue. Given Zomato
Gold was only launched in November last year, its contribution to the company’s overall
FY18 revenues is likely to be lower. But a current 12% monthly revenue contribution
means that going forward, Zomato Gold will likely become a major revenue contributor
for the company. Zomato says that Gold currently has ~160k subscribers, and a 500k
long waiting list.
Zomato Whitelabel:
The Zomato Whitelabel is platform that lets restaurants create their own custom native
apps that are plug and play. This application from the restaurant lets users book a table
through the mobile application. This way the restaurants directly send a notification to the
user. Zomato is looking to expand its power over the restaurants and keep control.

Zomato Base:
Zomato base is a service for restaurants that help them manage their POS systems. With
an access of over 250,000 listings of restaurants, Zomato knows that controlling the POS
system of restaurants will give them a stronger hold in the restaurant business.

(Nguyen, 2018): The research is based on Consumer Preference and Attitude Regarding
Online and the study emphasized that using the Internet in seeking food service
information was a common practice among people living in Hanoi, Vietnam and online
interpersonal influences took a fundamental part. A high percentage of consumers were
unconcerned about accurate evidence regarding food safety in selecting food products on
the Internet. The conclusion of our findings produces practical pieces of advice to
consumers buying online food, to food retailers selling food over the Internet and to the
Government of Vietnam to implement appropriate legislation regarding online food
product information.
(Gupta, November 29, 2018): The online food delivery market is segmented into fixed
online food delivery and movable online food delivery. On the basis of cuisine-wise, the
market is segmented into Indian food, fast food, Italian food, and others. On the basis of
the business model, the market is segmented into logistics focused food delivery system,
order focused food delivery system and full-service food delivery system. Full-service
food service is useful for small-scale & independent restaurants. On the basis of food
sources, the market is segmented into grocery stores, restaurants & food outlets and
supermarkets etc. In addition, on the basis of the platform, the market is segmented into
the application based and platform based. The market for online food delivery is mainly
driven by rising disposable income. Changing demographics, increasing penetration of

internet & smart-
(Das, 2018): According to this research, Zomato has gained positive opinion of majority
of the consumers in comparison to other service providers. It is mainly because of their
better on time delivery and better discounts. Zomato has been in the first position in
online food delivery service provider and if it includes the minor improvements, it will
sustain its upper hand in forthcoming future.The factors that encourages consumers the
most is Doorstep Delivery followed by Ease & Convenience. Consumers are mostly
influenced when they receive any Rewards & Cashbacks followed by Location. Most
preferred online food delivery service provider is Zomato followed by Swiggy, The
factors that prevent consumers to use the online food delivery services are Bad Past
Experience followed by Influence from friends/family.
(Pathan, December 2017): According to the proposed system is based on user’s need
and is user centered. The system is developed in considering all issues related to all user
which are included in this system. Wide range of people can use this if they know how to
operate android smart phone. Various issues related to Mess/Tiffin Service will be solved
by providing them a fullfledged system. Thus, implementation of Online Food Ordering
system is done to help and solve one of the important problems of people. Based on the
result of this research, it can be concluded: It helps customer in making order easily; it
gives information needed in making order to customer. The Food website application
made for restaurant and mess can help restaurant and mess in receiving orders and
modifying its data and it is also made for admin so that it helps admin in controlling all
the Food system. With online food ordering system, a restaurant and mess menu online

order at their convenience. Thus, an automated food ordering system is presented with
features of feedback and wireless communication.
(Mohit kumar, 1 may 2017): Online reviews have an important role in consumer
decisions for purchasing products with one survey reporting that 90 percent of individuals
indicated that positive reviews affected their purchase decisions and 80 percent indicated
that negative reviews affected their purchase decisions (Dimensional Research, 2013).
Restaurant reviews are the most commonly searched topic in online reviews with 67
percent of consumers searching for reviews about restaurants (BrightLocal, 2013) and 15
percent indicating that they use online review Web sites every time to search for
restaurant reviews (Ghiselli and Ma, 2015). Although online restaurant reviews are
important to consumers, there appears to be limited research on the topic of how
restaurant reviews influence consumers to choose to purchase at restaurants. One study of
an anonymous Chinese restaurant review Web site found that positive reviews and
greater number of reviews were associated with increased restaurant sales while negative
reviews were associated with decreased restaurant sales (Lu, et al., 2013).
(Saini, 2016): This study is based on Customer Perception and Satisfaction on Ordering
Food via Internet, It is found from the study that almost all the respondents have easy
access to the Internet, a major percentage of the respondents buy twice or at least once a
week. Most of the respondents are familiar with ordering food online over 3 years.
Overall satisfaction level on the scale of 5 is 3.69 which mean it is somewhat high on
reliability assurance and responsiveness. The study reveals that penetration of online food
ordering services is high. The student users of these services are well versed with the
information available on these websites and also use help services available online.
Raising the service levels could delight the customer but at the same time create more
expectations in the minds of the consumers. This would require more investment from the
company to ensure the desired service level.
(Ahmed, December 2015): In this study, attempt was made to identify the key success
factors that lead to loyalty in an online ordering environment. Results suggest that online
food ordering companies have to emphasise on information quality, website design, and
security/privacy and payment system towards their customers in order to increase the
level of web trust and satisfaction. The service providers could also enjoy continuous
recurring revenues from the loyal customers if they provide efficient delivery, reliable
customer service and food quality. The results of the empirical study provide support for
the positive relationships between website quality and web trust, service quality and
satisfaction, web trust and loyalty, and satisfaction and loyalty.
(Jenvild, 2014): According to the research Indian consumers are demanding more take-
away and home-delivery services. There is much unpenetrated scope in this market, and
successful operators should apply the new preferences and trends in an innovative
manner when developing their home-delivery services. Indians are extremely active
online, and social media marketing is very effective for this market. Consumers from all
social groups are identifying with each other under the umbrella of nationalism,
Operators have a golden chance to exploit this phenomenon when attempting a strategy to
appeal cross-segments. Indian tastes call for more experimentation. Consumers
experience little difference of outlets, and thus will not develop brand loyalty without
more differentiation in the market. India wants more health and hygiene. Higher
education and increased lifestyles diseases has created awareness of importance of health.
The demands and supplies of “healthy” products will continue to grow at a fast rate.
