It is undeniable that food is a major part of a person\u2019s life. Gone are the days when to eat a spoonful of food people had to produce and prepare the ingredients on their own and then eat. In the present time, people are busy. Everybody wants on-demand products and services. Thanks to technology now almost everything is just an app away, so is good food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping the demand for food in mind aggregators like Zomato are touching the skies by creating a breakaway in the way of eating food.

In the year 2008, two employees of Bain &amp; Company (based out in Delhi), Pankaj and Deepinder saw a long of the office staff waiting for their turn to order lunch, which gave birth to the idea of \u201cFoodiebay\u201d, now known as \u201cZomato\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foodiebay\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Foodiebay<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Foodiebay\u2019s website initially had scanned copies of the Office cafeteria\u2019s menu, which helped the employees to choose the menu beforehand. This was a savior for the employees as they did not have to stand in long queues anymore. The website became a hit in the company and soon there was a gush in the website traffic but this time it was outside the vicinity of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foodiebay became a popular food directory in Delhi NCR. It started including menus of many popular restaurants in Delhi. People started using the site to check out the menu before going to the restaurants. The first scanned copy of the restaurant menu mentioned in Foodiebay was Hauz Khas in Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slowly Foodiebay started added menus of restaurants from other major cities of the country like &#8211; Kolkata, Mumbai, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foodiebay_Name_Change\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Foodiebay Name Change<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2010, after getting a great response from India, the founders of Foodiebay decided to enter the international market. But before that, they had to make a big decision which was &#8211; changing the name of the venture. Foodiebay was a great name but they wanted to have something simple, different, and an easy-to-remember name, and then they changed the name to &#8211; Zomato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the people still have one question in mind &#8211; \u2018What does Zomato mean?\u2019 Well, the founder kept it simple and humorous &#8211; Zomato sounds like a Tomato that goes with every kind of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Zomato entered the international market there was no looking back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today Zomato has embarked on its name as the top aggregator for delivering food to the doorstep of the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Digital_Marketing_Strategies\"><\/span><strong>Digital Marketing Strategies<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These days every business understands the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/thecolourmoon.com\/digital-marketing.php\">digital marketing<\/a>, everybody is making efforts to increase the digital presence and achieve their goals.
