DOORDASH FOODS INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED

In their own words

According to industry studies, India's meat market is close to $30-$35 billionand is increasing at an annual rate of around 18-20 percent. This suggeststhat more than 70 percent of the Indian population consumes meat. In recentyears, the start-up ecosystem has influenced a shift in the meat sellingbusiness and captured a significant portion of the meat delivery market.In India, however, the market for meat delivery is still dominated byunorganised meat merchants, who control about 99 percent of the area. Inthe past, people have purchased meat from local butcher shops, sacrificingon quality and convenience. The majority of them are still unaware that meatpurchased from butcher shops is sold in an unsanitary way and is not freshand of poor quality. The meat offered in conventional butcher shops isexposed to environmental contaminants and insects like flies.There is no uniformity of price, quality, and freshness in the conventionalmeat-selling sector.The unorganised players adhere to an inefficient supply chain, whichdecreases the quality of the products and renders them unfit for humanconsumption. According to scientists, India's meat has the greatestconcentration of antibiotics. Low investments are made in both the meatbusiness and the rearing of cattle for meat production. Infrastructureinadequacy is another key challenge.In the last several years, urban customers have gradually shifted towardspurchasing meat online due to considerations such as convenience and theability to receive fresh and clean meat at their doorstep. Online meat-sellingstartups have altered how India purchases meat. These companies providecustom-cut, marinated, and ready-to-cook meat items, which is a blessingfor those who wish to have a non-vegetarian dinner at home without thetrouble of preparing it.Doordash will prepare the meat in order to provide raw fish, chicken,mutton, eggs, ready-to-cook food, spreads, MOMOs, and cold cuts (includingham, salami, and sausage). The processing of meat helps to maintain itsfreshness, convenience, appearance, palatability, and safety, and it alsooffers customers a diverse selection of meat products from which to choose.Not only do industries that process meat add value to the product andlengthen its shelf life, but they also contribute to the efficient managementof quality, which allows for the production of meat and meat products thatare of higher quality at a lower price on a local level. Increasing theavailability of food at periods when it would not normally be accessible, sohelping to increase overall food security.
