Foodtech startup Mealawe has raised $1 million in funding from a mix of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), a network of Shark Tank founders, and angel investors associated with companies such as Goldman Sachs and Oracle. The new capital will be used to scale operations by expanding women-led kitchens, strengthening corporate cafeteria solutions, and deepening partnerships for organic ingredient sourcing. Founded by Rupesh Kumar, along with co-founders Pratap Haldar and Nikhil Jain, Mealawe began as a platform connecting home chefs with customers, providing nutritious, homemade-style meals. As it scales, Mealawe is integrating home chefs and women from the workforce into a structured kitchen model, creating economic opportunities while maintaining the essence of homemade food. To ensure high-quality, nutritious meals, Mealawe directly sources organic kitchen essentials such as bilona ghee, wood-pressed oils, and organic masalas by partnering with farmers, ensuring both better food quality and sustainable agricultural practices. Beyond meal delivery, Mealawe has developed a corporate cafeteria management platform that allows businesses to provide high-quality meals without operational complexities. For smaller companies that lack physical cafeteria spaces, Mealawe offers a virtual cafeteria solution, ensuring seamless meal access for employees. Since its launch in October 2022, Mealawe claims to have grown rapidly, delivering over 30,000 meals monthly. Currently operational in Pune, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Kota, Mealawe is steadily building a nationwide presence. The firm plans expansion into 14 cities over the next 10-12 months, with a target of delivering 1 million meals per month.
