Fooda, a company established in 2011, operates workplace food programs across more than 45 markets. Their recent acquisition of group delivery company Foodsby further solidifies their presence in the industry. On the other hand, Peach, founded in 2014 by Singh and his former Amazon colleagues, set itself apart by streamlining multiple lunch orders for office buildings, attracting investments from notable Seattle VCs and achieving profitability in various markets within three years.
Despite facing challenges, including layoffs and pandemic-induced pivots, Peach managed to establish a sustainable B2B model that catered to employers looking to provide meals for their teams. With $16 million in total funding and a compact team of six employees at the time of the acquisition, Peach is set to operate under a new name in its current locations with Singh and COO Prerit Agarwal onboard to facilitate the transition to Fooda.
As the future unfolds, Singh expressed his enthusiasm for returning to his passion of creating value for working professionals and working towards building a B2C brand. The post-acquisition phase holds promise for both companies as they navigate the evolving landscape of the food delivery market, leveraging their combined strengths to drive innovation and growth.
