The Team
CloudChef was founded by Nikhil, Atish, and Mohit - friends from IIT Bombay, to originally solve their own problem - living away from home, couldn’t eat from thier favorite restaurants or even home food.
We have intentionally kept a small team. We believe that we can de-risk our business most effectively at this stage by being a small team of driven builders - who take ownership of large chunks of work.
The core team members of CloudChef are Nikhil, Mohit, Atish, Sikander, Georgi, Prateek
