In the spring of 2012, Ankit Mehrotra, along with a group of his school friends saw an opportunity in the clutter of restaurant queues and came up with an innovative idea of an online table reservation platform.
In what would turn into a profound household name in the food-tech industry in India, revolutionizing the way people approach food and dining out - Dineout was born. The rising tide caught the nation by storm and lifted all metaphorical boats - the online platform and its array of services expanded rapidly and brought restaurant seats from close to 25,000 restaurants to over 50 million consumers across around 20 cities in the last year alone.
While Dineout has been expanding over the years - Dineout's forward-looking entrepreneurialism coupled with their CEO, Ankit Mehrotra's, will have remained unaltered through time.
The company has been an inspirational success story towards the growing boom of start-ups in the country and Ankit has been at the forefront of that charge. The leading titan behind the food-tech enterprise, Dineout, has imbibed his principle stating that "Small things make perfection but perfection is no small thing".
