Conosh

What Conosh does

Conosh Applications Private Limited, operating as Conosh, is a Bangalore-headquartered community dining platform founded in 2019 by Neha Malik and Vaibhav Bahl. The platform operates as a two-sided marketplace connecting home chefs with food enthusiasts across five product lines: (i) live online culinary workshops conducted via Zoom with celebrity chefs and culinary influencers, priced between ₹899 and ₹3,499+ per session with lifetime recording access; (ii) home-cooked meal delivery from vetted home chefs in Bangalore, Delhi/NCR (Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida), and Mumbai; (iii) 'Eat-In' home-hosted dining experiences at chef residences; (iv) 'Eat-Out' group dining experiences that match diners with compatible food buddies; and (v) the #foryourcrew corporate channel for team lunches and group bookings. Underlying technology is conventional rather than proprietary: the stack combines Zoom for live classes, Paytm and Google Pay for payment processing, and Facebook/Google for social login, with no API or developer platform disclosed. The 'matching algorithm' for pairing diners is described qualitatively but no technical detail is provided, and no AI/ML layer, patents, or data assets are referenced in the source material.

The business model is marketplace-driven: Conosh retains a service fee on eat-in experiences (the host sets the meal price and is paid within three days), collects fees on online workshops before remitting to the chef/educator, and prices delivery and corporate events on a per-booking basis. Pricing is unit-based across the catalog (per-workshop, per-meal, per-experience) with no disclosed subscription or enterprise contract structure. The company serves three primary customer segments: individual food enthusiasts seeking social dining experiences, home chefs monetizing culinary skills, and corporate teams procuring group food events. Marketing is predominantly organic and content-led (blog, Instagram @conoshofficial, community stories) supplemented by earned media in major Indian publications. Conosh remains privately held and bootstrapped, with no external institutional funding disclosed and a team of roughly 13 employees operating across three Indian metros.

Conosh is a community dining platform that connects food enthusiasts with home chefs and culinary talent through online culinary workshops (Zoom-based classes with celebrity and professional chefs), home-cooked food delivery from vetted home chefs, Eat-In home-hosted dining experiences, Eat-Out group dining matched with food buddies, and curated corporate/group events under the #Foryourcrew vertical. The company earns revenue via transaction fees and marketplace commissions on these third-party culinary experiences.

Additionally, Conosh offers Eat-In experiences (home-hosted dining at home chefs' residences) and Eat-Out experiences (group dining with matched food buddies at restaurants). The platform also features a Blog for editorial food content. Conosh acts as an intermediary connecting home chefs with diners, facilitating bookings, payments, and matching through its platform.

Direct peers

• HomeFoodi: HomeFoodi is an Indian home-chef food delivery marketplace offering tiffin and meal services. It directly overlaps Conosh's food delivery pillar in Bangalore and Delhi/NCR, targeting the same supply side of vetted home cooks.
• EatWith (Airbnb Experiences): EatWith was a global marketplace for home-hosted dining experiences that was absorbed into Airbnb Experiences. It is the closest global comparable to Conosh's Eat-In and Eat-Out offerings, matching diners with home chefs for intimate meals.
• Cozymeal: Cozymeal is a marketplace for private chef experiences and cooking classes, offering in-home dining, chef's table events, and culinary workshops. It is directly comparable to Conosh's combination of home dining and masterclass workshops.
• Cookly: Cookly is an online marketplace for cooking classes and culinary experiences across multiple countries. It parallels Conosh's online workshop model, aggregating chef-led classes for tourists and food enthusiasts on a global Zoom-friendly platform.
• VizEat: VizEat is a community-dining marketplace connecting travelers with local hosts for home-cooked meals, conceptually very close to Conosh's Eat-In. It targets an international, foodie audience seeking authentic home cuisine.
• Travelling Spoon: Travelling Spoon is a marketplace connecting travelers with local home chefs for cooking classes and home-cooked meals across Asia. It is comparable to Conosh in product mix (classes + home dining) and target market (food tourists and culinary enthusiasts).

Broad incumbents

• Airbnb: Airbnb is the dominant global marketplace for short-term stays and now hosts Online Experiences including cooking classes. Through Airbnb Experiences (formerly EatWith), it competes directly with Conosh at a much larger scale and with deep brand recognition.
• Swiggy: Swiggy is one of India's largest food delivery and restaurant discovery platforms. While not a home-chef marketplace, its scale, capital base, and corporate food service offerings (Swiggy Corporate) compete for both diners and corporate catering spend in Conosh's three metro markets.
• Zomato: Zomato is India's leading restaurant discovery and food delivery platform. Zomato Live (events, dining experiences) and Zomato Corporate overlap directly with Conosh's Eat-Out and #foryourcrew corporate channel, posing a competitive threat with vastly more marketing resources.

Regional players

• Swaad (Indian home food): Swaad is an Indian home-style food platform offering tiffin subscriptions from home chefs. While it overlaps with Conosh's delivery stream in India, its primary focus is recurring meal plans rather than experiential dining or workshops.
