The food delivery sector in India is characterised by different business models. The rapidly changing food habits, economy and technology have brought many changes in the Indian food scene. Cloud kitchens are one such change.
Cloud kitchens are very different compared to regular restaurants. Unlike traditional methods, Cloud Kitchen only provides online food delivery. The growth of this sector is happening at a very fast pace in India with low investment and no major obstacles. It is estimated that the cloud kitchen scene will drive the market in India to a growth of $3 billion by 2031.
