Ghost Kitchen Bangladesh is under-going a major rebranding as it becomes Onnow.io. We are excited to transform our identity with an incline towards building a globally-accepted platform where future innovations can be introduced.
Ghost Kitchen Bangladesh (GKB), Bangladesh’s first internet-based restaurant marketplace has accomplished a remarkable position in both Bangabandhu Innovation Grant (BIG) 2021 and Unicorn Battle Online.
The Bangabandhu Innovation Grant (BIG) is an initiative under the iDEA project of the ICT Division of Bangladesh Government, where the top one (01) startup will get 100,000 USD and the rest thirty-five (35) startups will get 10,00,000 BDT grant. As of 26 April 2021, out of 3,000 applications, Ghost Kitchen Bangladesh has reached the Top 65 list and waiting for the next rounds to start.
On the other hand, Unicorn Battle® – is the largest pitch event in the world for the venture capital industry and extraordinary startups competing for the attention of the VCs and Corporations. In the Unicorn Battle Online GKB is proudly holding the position of Top 10 startups in South East Asia and the Oceania region.
For us at Ghost Kitchen Bangladesh, past few months have been very rewarding, Alhamdulillah. Being in the Top 65 list at BIG 2021 and more recently Top 10 at Unicorn Battle is remarkable for a new startup like ours as we are just stepping into 7 months of operations. Within these few months of operation, we have established 4 Brands (Friggy’s, Party Pizza, Wrappo and Haleem Guys), 3 own-kitchens at Tejgaon, Moghbazar and Banani, and 4 Fulfillment Partner kitchens, and the overall response from both the industry and our end-consumers has been amazing.
