For nearly a decade, Swiggy and Zomato have fed our hunger and dominated prime real estate on our phone screens, leaving very little room for any serious challengers.

Most who tried to break in got their fingers burnt before they even got started. But now, a new player has decided to throw its hat into the ring.

Tune in.
