Please provide a brief overview of your product/service.

Hungr.in is an Online Food Portal which aims at providing Restaurant Discovery, Online Food Ordering and Book-a-Table Service. The team behind hungr.in wants to make eating an even more delightful experience. It helps the customers to avail services from restaurants, bakeries and fast food joints listed on the site. Restaurants on the other side get to highlight their special features and increase their reach manifolds.

What inspired you to build the above product/ service?

We found out that most of the restaurant owners are generally apprehensive about coming online and are unaware of the benefits of E-Commerce. It was thus a little difficult to convince them to come online on a new service. Also, publicizing the service to reach maximum people is also not overrated. We were quite hassled by the absence of such a service in Patna. So, we decided to start it ourselves so that others didn’t have to face similar problems.

How did you overcome challenges?

Determination, Perseverance and Confidence.
