HungryNaki: game changer in take-outs
A group of innovative youths has changed the scene in take-out and food delivery culture. It all began just three years ago when they were discussing possible business ideas.
During these brainstorming sessions, food was always a must, and it was a struggle ordering food from the different restaurants in the city at that time.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. It struck them that they could work to simplify this process and it would definitely be a first in the country, said Ahmad AD, chief executive and co-founder of HungryNaki.
“So we put aside every other idea and focused on what we love the most – food.”
HungryNaki, the most renowned food ordering platform in the country, was recognised as the ICT Startup of the Year on Friday by The Daily Star.
Launched in October 2013, it allows people to search and locate restaurants of their choice nearby and takes orders on their behalf to deliver food to people's doorsteps.
The other founder members include Sazid Rahman, Ammar Bin Yeahea, Irtezar Ur Rahman and Tausif Ahmad.
Through its service, people can reach out to more than 800 restaurants in three cities -- Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet. It now plans to expand services to India and Myanmar.
Tausif Ahmad, also chief operations officer, said they now employ more than 100 people. "We aim to be the country's most successful e-commerce business with a sustainable model," he said.
