Yummy Plate offering meal services for schools raises $2M in a seed round

Yummy Plate, providing meal service for schools, has raised $2 million in a seed funding round to expand its reach to more schools across the country.

The round was led by K12 Techno Services, an educational services platform that offers a suite of services and solutions to schools.

Yummy Plate says it aims to enhance its meal offerings, ensuring students receive balanced and nutritious meals. It will also focus on technological advancements, streamlining operations, and expanding its presence to 5 cities, including Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai and Delhi.

Founded last year in October by Bala Hariharan, Yummy Plate is a B2B startup that offers a range of nutritious, fresh and tasty meals for school children.

The startup claims it is serving more than 3,000 students by providing nutritious meals every day and aims to cater to 100+ schools and increase the subscription base to 20,000 students in the next 12 months.

"Our goal is to provide home-cooked and nutritious meals made out of traditional, local and seasonal ingredients to students all across India. We have been receiving positive feedback from the parents so far, and we would like to provide the best suitable meals that fulfil all the nutritional needs of students in their growing years. Through this funding, we are confident of being able to expand our services across different cities and achieve our goals even further," said Bala Hariharan.

"They are doing a tremendous amount of work in order to provide high quality and healthy meal service to school students across Bengaluru. As we believe in providing the best possible facilities for students for their overall growth. Our goals align with those of Yummy Plates," said Jai Decosta, CEO of K12 Techno Services Pvt Ltd.
