Hi Shaily,

Really nice idea and should work if implemented right.

So here is what I believe there should be done.

First decide a place, a region where we will be experimenting this idea. A good study and homework will decide the first region. Then the networking. I believe we should visit home to home (by references) with small group and approach as many housewives as possible within our deadline. We will have to explain them why we are doing this and why this is so much important and what their work will exactly be.

We also need to start figuring out a place where the cooking will happen. Renting a home with a good big kitchen seems good idea to me.

Then decide the menu. At lest different 7 types of healthy menu for each day of a week.
We'll also need delivery boys. Also need to figure out how we're going to get best quality ingredients(From salt n paper to lettuce) at cheapest price required for making meal.

There are many people involved, one may think. But that's why I first mentioned study and homework for selecting region.

Assume in our region there are 3 hostels or companies nearby it would be possible withe fewer people involved at first hence the cost effective solution.

We can start taking orders from just a Whatsapp message, Initially making a just Whatsapp based is good cost effective thing and also efficient.

And yes, still there are other many other hundreds things needed. But this can be done and totally worth a shot.

The fact that food is going to be made by actual housewives will be enough to get first attention. If the quality and rates are maintained extremely well. This can be huge successful and help many lives. Those housewives will get a new more meaningful life and those who work hard, specially leaving far from home will get at lest a Dopamine - a feel good chemical every-time they eat made something by housewives.

Fun fact - So dear wife, who will make the food for me and children now? Don't worry hubby, where I work, they will send free meals to our home and I won't forget to add some extra sweets which you love every once a while.

P.S. I hope I've not written way too much. Its just my mind, every time I hear a startup idea, my mind starts entertaining it, forming it, visualizing it. if I still think more I can write essays of why we should do it, how we should do it, what are the possibilities, and what are the drawbacks and every other required preservatives. Anyway, that's it for now.

Best regards
Apurva.
