Mukunda Foods is currently building out its Kitchen as a Service (KAAS) platform through a network of ghost kitchens around the world that will fit well into Zomato’s food delivery service.
There is also synergy between Zomato’s Hypermarket service and Mukunda’s KAAS.
The Story
While this isn’t the hugest deal in the world, moneywise, the partnership between Zomato, a restaurant food delivery company, and Mukunda, which is building a network of automated ghost kitchens, makes a lot of sense.
