The Team
CloudChef was founded by Nikhil, Atish, and Mohit - friends from IIT Bombay, to originally solve their own problem - living away from home, couldn’t eat from thier favorite restaurants or even home food.
We are backed by several marquee investors like Susan Wojcicki(CEO of YouTube), Claire Hughes Johnson(COO of Stripe), Rocketship.vc, Tom Colicchio, etc.
We have intentionally kept a small team. We believe that we can de-risk our business most effectively at this stage by being a small team of driven builders - who take ownership of large chunks of work.
