Success Story of Zomato

To start the journey on the highway to success, an entrepreneur needs an idea, one which will set them apart. An idea can be hit by anyone but what comes after this idea is what creates or breaks the business. Desire for something is the first and primary essential. It is tracked by determination and a robust work ethic. Open-mindedness and the skill to recoil back from failure are other vital attributes. Patience is key. An entrepreneur cannot predict results to show in the blink of an eye.

Food is a major force for many. It does come under one of the most essential conveniences for a human being. But waiting for food is something everyone abhors especially when they are hungry. When it comes to a country as active and hardworking as India in its peak lunch hours, getting look at the menu card before ordering food is also a really big problem. Deepinder Goyal and Pankaj Chaddah came up with the absolute solution to the problem of waiting in long queue lines for food. Let’s have a look at how Zomato was started?

How was Zomato founded?

The story of Zomato begun in the organisation of Bain & Company in Delhi. Deepinder and Pankaj worked at this company when they thought of this concept. They saw people standing in a line at mealtime and give the order for their meal when their turn came. From there they got an idea of “Foodiebay” which became a opening to Zomato.

At first, they began scanning all the menu objects of the restaurant and registered them on their intranet website Foodiebay.com. Later on, after seeing a vast flow in their traffic, they decided to introduce their website open to the public.

Funds raised by Zomato

This idea of Deepinder’s and Pankaj’s fascinated Sanjeev Bikhchandani, the creator of Naukri.com. In December of 2010, Sanjeev Bikhchandani offered Zomato funding of 1 million USD through his corporation Info Edge India and from here on, there was no looking back.

In the next round of funding that they got was once again from Info Edge India and this time it was 3.5 million USD and again in the year 2013, Zomato received an astounding 10 million USD from Info Edge India which made Info Edge India an owner of almost 50% of the shares in the start-up. Other stockholders for Zomato include Sequoia Capital, VY Capital, and Temasek. The funds just kept arriving in after this. By the end of 2018, it is estimated that Zomato would’ve received a funding of more than 300 million USD. 

Zomato at a glance

Presently, there are over 100 million Zomato consumers globally and people use the application to get in contact with other foodies around the world so that they can get the finest of food in whatever place possible. This being an additional advantage, big restaurants from around the globe send their advertisements to the Zomato app and this is basically how Zomato makes its money.

As of 2018, Zomato regulates 3 million orders on a monthly basis with 1.4 million restaurants registered on its platform. It is available in 10,000 cities and 23 countries worldwide.

Women Empowerment

What is Women’s Empowerment?

It is the process of empowering women and understanding their points of view. It is simply accepting that women are capable of anything and they have the potential to decide and debate on an issue. Women’s literacy rates are nowadays started increasing. Earlier women were not sent to studies and got married at a young age. Nowadays the view is changing. They are getting the right education and many organization, government schemes are there for women. Even banks are supporting women and giving loans for their further education in studies. 

Amazon provides a big help to achieve women and they are doing their online business through this platform. I would like to share a story which I read a few years back. One woman got married at a young age but she had dreams to study further but due to her family condition she accepted her fate and got married. But her luck came in the form of her husband. He let her pursue her dreams and helped her in joining college. She completed her studies and later started her online business on handbags. Her handbags grew very fast and now she is earning several lakhs in a month. Education, boldness, audacity are important for women. Our society should change its view on educating a girl child and let them study further without getting married.

Not only this apps like Meesho are helping many women to start an online business without any investment. There are lots of success stories on their website. Many women are earning more than 25,000 per month at the comfort of their homes by taking care of their families. We should change this view. Women should only support and not work. This thing should be changed. Men and their families should also help women in succeeding in their life and give them equal rights. 

We can do some things from our side as well. We can sponsor a girl child’s education. This small step will further turn into a giant leap. We should create awareness and campaigns on why women’s empowerment is important. Women’s decisions will never fail. They have a higher capacity than men and can succeed well in their life.

Nowadays many women are leaving their high-paying jobs and joining the army. We should definitely salute these people. They are the real heroes of our life. They should be given equal rights. We should encourage girls who are willing to join the army instead of not letting them pursue their dreams. 

We should not simply celebrate women’s day by sharing women’s day quotes on WhatsApp group. But also take some steps in making them come true. We should give 50% allotment to women on every job that is provided for men. 

Nowadays many women are delivering food, driving auto. They are so brave and taking up this job by knowing its risks. Women are also driving metro trains and many have become successful pilots.

Take a look at Forbes magazine to know the top 10 women entrepreneurs and their success stories. It will give you the much-needed motivation. Nobody could’ve started their business with a good amount of money. They too could’ve suffered in their initial days and that made them achieve their goals.
