Hyderabad, TELANGANA :
For the devout observing fast during Ramzan but unable to enter the kitchen for Iftar, the service floated by four youngsters is the perfect solution.
Keeping in mind the limitations of techies, bachelors and also the unwell, Ahmed Kareem, Umair Abdullah, Sharjeel Siddiqui and Syed Adil started ‘Iftar Move’.
The team behind the startup say that the need for hygienic and economical food coupled with a reliable service made them give wings to their idea.
“I have come across people who live alone or are working professionals, who want to break the day’s fast with home-cooked food but cannot. This service is for them,” said Ahmed Kareem Uddin Naseer, Digital marketing Head of ‘Iftar Move’. “This is the first time we are venturing into the food space and it is for a noble cause. We have taken utmost care to prepare food in hygienic conditions.”
The meals can be ordered through whatsapp, website, call or even by posting on the Facebook page. A set of seven items will be delivered which include Haleem, paneer samosas, chicken rolls, bhajiye, dates, fruit chat and Frooti.
Two kitchens, one in Jubilee Hills and the other in Malakpet, have been set up for the service.
With increasing number of orders coming from IT parks, the main focus of the service is also the Hi-tec city and surrounding areas. “We started with 20 or 30 orders but within a week we started getting lot of enquiries. Last weekend we accepted 200 orders,” said Ahmed Kareem who says they might plan to make this a yearly affair every Ramzan season.
