Zomato: A Menu That Changed the Game In 2008, Deepinder Goyal noticed a simple problem, his colleagues were wasting time hunting for restaurant menus. Instead of ignoring it, he turned the problem into an idea:- scanning and uploading menus online. What started as a tiny project in Delhi called Foodiebay became Zomato, now a food-tech giant. But success wasn’t served on a silver platter. In time when people barely trusted online platforms, Zomato introduced reviews and ratings to build credibility. They didn't stop at menus, they pivoted to food delivery, cloud kitchens, and today delivering across 24+ countries. In July 2021, Zomato made history as India’s 1st food-tech startup to go public. From scanning menus to transforming how India eats, Zomato’s story is proof that even the smallest ideas backed by resilience can create billion-dollar dreams. It’s about solving everyday problems and staying resilient. Next time you order food, remember, it all started with a scanned menu!
