The online food ordering search engine Ketchupp in a seed round which was led by a clutch of investors & India Quotient has raised 3 crore rupees. Ketchupp is a platform for food delivery. It follows differentiated model which allows searching, on the basis of dish rather than any restaurant.

The cofounder of Ketchupp, Chirag Taneja has said that, they compare prices of a dish being searched by a user at different places and then suggest the best place from where the dish can be ordered. He has also said that, they are not platform for food ordering, rather they redirect users to the food delivery platforms or restaurants.

Taneja has said that, the capital will be invested in development of Ketchupp from search engine into suggestion-based model.

Cofounder of India Quotient, Anand Lunia has said that, when market is deep, then only meta search engines work. The model of revenue is more advertisement & leaddriven based. Thus, Ketchupp will have high tech business economics and will undergo light operations.
