Rebel Foods launches 15-min food delivery app ‘QuickiES’ Cloud kitchen unicorn Rebel Foods is making a foray into the 15-minute food delivery segment to compete with foodtech giants like Zomato and Swiggy. In a LinkedIn post, EatSure co-founder and CEO Sagar Kochhar announced that Rebel Foods has launched its 15-minute food delivery app, QuickiES. Co-founded in 2011 by Jaydeep Barman and Kallol Banerjee, Rebel Foods operates a network of cloud kitchens and restaurants across multiple countries. It owns and operates several quick-service restaurant (QSR) brands, including Behrouz Biryani, Mandarin Oak, Oven Story Pizza, Sweet Truth, LunchBox, The Good Bowl, Firangi Bake, The Biryani Life, and Wendy’s. Rebel Foods claims to operate over 450 cloud kitchens across India, the MENA region, Indonesia, the UK, and 75 Indian cities. In FY24, the company’s revenue from operations increased to Rs 1,420 crore, while its losses narrowed by more than 42% to Rs 378 crore during the same period. The Mumbai-based startup has raised $773 million in funding to date from investors such as KKR, Temasek, Lightbox, Evolvence, and others. The instant food delivery market is becoming increasingly competitive, with Zepto launching a dedicated app for Zepto Cafe, promising 10-minute food deliveries. Meanwhile, Zomato-owned Blinkit has introduced Bistro, a standalone app for instant food delivery. Similarly, Swiggy has launched a standalone app, SNACC, for 15-minute food delivery. Zomato has also entered the quick food delivery segment, while emerging platforms like Swish, Magicpin, and Zing are gaining momentum.

Exclusive: 10 min food delivery startup Swish raises $14 Mn Swish, a 10-minute food delivery startup, has secured Rs 122.32 crore in its Series A funding round, led by Hara Global Capital and existing investor Accel India. This follows just three months after its $2 million seed round. The board at Swish has passed a special resolution to issue 4,762 Series A compulsory convertible preference shares at an issue price of Rs 2,56,334 each to raise Rs 112.3 crore or $14 million, its regulatory filing accessed from the Registrar of Companies shows. Hara Global Capital led the round with Rs 69.56 crore while Accel India invested Rs 52.18 crore. Kunal Shah-led QED innovation, and Gaurav Munjal (CEO of Unacademy) and Sumer Juneja, investment advisor at SoftBank, participated with Rs 20.5 lakhs, Rs 5 and Rs 30.7 lakh respectively. According to Entrackr's estimates, the company has been valued at around Rs 522 crore or $60 million post-allotment. After the new funding round, Hara Global Capital will own 13.33%, while Accel India will hold a 27.24% stake in the company. Co-founders Aniket Sunil Shah, Sureshkumar Sarana, and Ujjwal Sukheja will each retain a 16.38% share following the Series A round. Founded in 2024, Swish’s 10-minute delivery model operates within a 1.5–2 km radius using cloud kitchens called ‘delight centers,’ ensuring fresh and hygienic food is delivered swiftly through its optimized full-stack approach. Swish is competing in the fast-expanding instant food delivery market, where Zomato, Swiggy, and Zepto are leading the charge. Zomato-owned Blinkit has also launched Bistro, a standalone app for instant food delivery. In December, Bhavish Aggarwal-led Ola entered the segment, while emerging players like Magicpin and Zing are gaining traction. The latest entrant to the space is cloud kitchen unicorn Rebel Foods, which has introduced a new app called QuickiES.

Exclusive: 60-min fashion delivery startup Slikk to raise $10 Mn led by Nexus Slikk, a fashion delivery platform promising 60-minute delivery, is all set to raise another funding round following its recent seed investment, sources familiar with the matter told Entrackr. "Nexus is spearheading a $10 million funding round at a $40 million valuation," said one of the sources. "The deal has already been finalized, and existing investors are expected to participate." On Tuesday, Slikk announced $3.2 million seed round led by Lightspeed with participation from Multiply Ventures and angel investors including Abhishek Goyal (Tracxn), Abhinav Pathak (Perpule), Madhav Tandan, Nikhil (Panthera), and Saurabh Gupta (DST Global). Slikk targets young, impulse-driven shoppers, including students, professionals, and trend-savvy urbanites influenced by social media. Over the next five years, it plans to expand into tier I and tier II cities, offering 60-minute fashion delivery while diversifying into seven-plus lifestyle categories. The startup features more than 80 brands, including Snitch, The Souled Store, Freakins, Uptownie, Off Duty, Bonkers, and Bewakoof. "Quick commerce is trending, and investors have recently shown strong interest in the fashion segment. With Myntra introducing a 30-minute delivery service for fashion and beauty products, more startups are likely to follow suit and seek funding,” said another source. Slikk declined to comment on the story while queries sent to Nexus did not elicit an immediate response.
