Zomato IPO: Re-imagining the future of food 
By Mohit Bhatnagar, Managing Director, Sequoia Capital India
In 2006 Deepinder Goyal decided to upload the menu from Bain's cafeteria to the company’s intranet to deal with the long lunchtime queues. A few years later, Deepinder and Pankaj Chaddah launched Zomato, a restaurant search and discovery app. Since then, Zomato has evolved into a full-stack food transactions platform, powered by a mission to redefine the future of food.
