Foodtech platform Thrive has become the latest Indian startup to shut operations, its cofounder and CEO Krishi Fagwani said.
In a LinkedIn post, the cofounder attributed the decision to wind down operations to lack of resources. “Over the years, we’ve fought hard to create a more equitable approach to food delivery and discovery—lower commissions, fairer pricing, social-led discovery, and a human-centered connection between restaurants and their customers. However, scaling that vision required resources we couldn’t secure,” Fagwani said.
