Food delivery industry has scaled rapidly with covid-19 forcing almost every restaurant to go online. But this has led to duopoly of Zomato & Swiggy in the market which is not sustainable. At Thrive our mission is to help restaurants manage their internet presence without being locked in with 3rd party aggregator. I am contributing to that journey by helping consumers discover & order from restaurants directly.
