Summary

Founder and early-stage operator in foodtech — Pankaj co-founded Mr Hot Foods (startup focused on aggregating local bhojanalayas/thali houses and offering subscription tiffin/meal plans). The venture scaled to deliver hundreds–1,500+ meals daily in Kota/Jaipur/Indore and raised seed backing via IvyCamp/angel Pawan Raj Kumar in Dec 2016; this experience demonstrates his ability to create and manage end-to-end business units from concept to scale. yourstory+2
