The changing time is turning lives better and busier too. The days of joint families have almost vanished and the concept of the nuclear family has mushroomed everywhere. Several needs are also making both the parents work with absolutely no lei-sure or time to spend with their kids. Though having a life of our own and making time for the family is a matter of priority, our tight schedules are hindering our personal lives. With these challenges, mothers are struggling to provide their kids a balance of nutrition that they would like their kids to eat and a balance of fun food their kids would love to eat. Recognizing these issues of our daily lives, Priyanka Row who hails from a Luxury Hospitality and Corporate Sales background teamed up with a corporate leadership and business professional Pritam Onsker and established BunchBites - Goa's first online mealbox delivery platform.

Though there are several unicorns in the food-delivery ecosystem that act as an aggregator and deliver food at the door-steps. They do not own a kitchen or control the quality and hygiene of the food. With an idea to bridge this gap while saving the time of the working mothers, they discussed and debated on the requirements to venture something that is closer to food delivery but with added uniqueness. The company offers daily and monthly plans which can be pre-booked from the website. They provide a

healthy, nutritious and wide range of variants delivered in meal boxes. It has also chosen the niche to serve only breakfast and lunch for schools, corporate, events or others.

"At BunchBites, we aim to revolutionize eating habits by providing meals that are fresh, hygienic and tasty. It's our mission to adopt practices laid down over centuries by the tried and tested `Mother's cooking'. Giving a homely feel, our school afternoon lunch box and our corporate box comprises of a delicious main course, a tasty side dish and a dessert to soothe client's sweet-tooth," says Pritam. While our thaal box appeals to the tastebuds of those with a larger appetite or being served at home a more wholesome meal of rice, chapati, curry, dal, dessert and an accompaniment salad. This Thaal Box is our best sellers being served in homes of senior citizens daily for over a year now," says Priyanka.
