History

Hello Curry was founded in early 2014 by Raju Bhupathi and Sandeep Penumatsa. The core idea was to address the lack of reliable and quick delivery options for Indian cuisine by offering standardized, quick-service Indian food, focusing on taste, quality, and innovative packaging. They delivered fast food prepared at partner restaurants.^[6][7] The company quickly gained traction, becoming a popular food-tech startup in Hyderabad.

By November 2015, the company had expanded its operations to 32 outlets. It also expanded its physical presence by opening its first dine-in QSR restaurant, also named "Hello Curry", in Hyderabad in January 2015.^[8] Hello Curry also started a new product line called Hello Paratha in September 2015, which purveyed stuffed parathas, often utilizing a "Kitchen in Commercial Kitchen (KICK)" model where they partnered with existing restaurants for food preparation and delivery logistics, while Hello Curry handles expenses for food and packaging.^[6]

The company was financially backed, having raised a seed funding round from Sri Capital in March 2014.^[9]
