Gurgaon Based Twigly Says Hello To A Tune of $200,000 In Funding

Gurgaon based Twigly is yet another food start up in India that has secured funding, having just announced that it raised $200,000 in its angel round of funding.

All About Twigly

Established in 2015 by co-founders Sonal Minhas, Rohan Dayal and Naresh Kachhi, Twigly aims to provide customers with competitively priced organic food which is delivered in and around Gurgaon. It’s based on a model of Sprig, which operates in San-Francisco.

Operating out of a central kitchen, Twigly works with a group of chefs “tasked with scouring the world for great recipes that suit the Indian palate, and then transforming them to ensure that they can be cooked quickly and delivered fresh.”
