In India’s rapidly evolving food-tech landscape, innovation is no longer limited to delivery platforms alone. A new wave of entrepreneurs is building technology that empowers food businesses while improving everyday customer experiences. One such name gaining attention is Gaurav Kumawat, a 21-year-old entrepreneur from Bengaluru, and the co-founder of Nazdeeki, a unified food-tech ecosystem accelerated by the Indian YouthEntrepreneurship Council (IYEC).
For food businesses, the platform offers operational control through a centralized admin panel, role-based apps for captains, waiters, and delivery personnel, and an integrated inventory management system. For users, Nazdeeki provides a simple interface to discover nearby food businesses, place orders, and access multiple services without switching platforms.
The Role of IYEC in Shaping Nazdeeki
Nazdeeki has been developed under the acceleration and mentorship of the Indian Youth Entrepreneurship Council (IYEC), an organization focused on supporting young entrepreneurs and early-stage startups across India.
Through IYEC’s structured guidance, mentorship, and ecosystem exposure, Nazdeeki refined its product vision, operational structure, and scalability roadmap. The collaboration reflects IYEC’s growing role in nurturing startups that address real-world business challenges using technology.
Founder-Led Vision
At the center of Nazdeeki’s journey is Gaurav Kumawat, who co-founded the platform with Ravi Desai. Gaurav’s vision is rooted in solving practical problems faced by food businesses—particularly the lack of operational control and dependency on fragmented tools.
“Nazdeeki is about creating balance,” Gaurav explains. “We want users to experience convenience while ensuring food businesses retain control over their operations, data, and growth.”
Despite his young age, Gaurav’s approach reflects a strong focus on sustainability, independence for food businesses, and long-term ecosystem building rather than short-term growth tactics.
A Startup Backed by Structure
Nazdeeki is a product of Nagarjuna Tech Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a Bengaluru-based
technology company that supports the platform’s development. With IYEC’s continued backing and a clear founder-driven vision, Nazdeeki is positioning itself as a meaningful player in India’s food-tech ecosystem.
As India’s food service sector continues to digitize, startups like Nazdeeki—built by young entrepreneurs and supported by structured organizations like IYEC—highlight how innovation, mentorship, and vision can come together to reshape an industry.
