Mobile centric food discovery startup Quinto secures seed round from Faaso’s founder Jaydeep Barman
Summary
While experts believe that food discovery space is crowded in India, Sahil Khan and Hrishikesh Rajpathak think otherwise. The duo started mobile focused food discovery startup Quinto in August last year and now it has raised an undisclosed amount of funding from Jaydeep Barman of Faaso. Sahil, says: Quinto lets users search and discover dishes with crowdsourced ratings with the aim of answering questions like, ‘Where’s the best chicken biryani around or best dish to order at any particular restaurant?Sahil met Hrishikesh while he was running a food blog, Tossed Salad. Luckily for Sahil and Hrishikesh, their paths crossed and Quinto was born (earlier called Dishoomit). Hrishikesh has done MSc in Computer Science with experience in data mining & machine learning, while Sahil is a UX designer and food writer.
