Eat App India Expansion: Startup Secures $10M to Scale Food-Tech Operations
Eat App secures $10M for its India expansion. Learn how the Dubai-based startup is partnering with Swiggy and acquiring ReserveGo to dominate the $85B market.
India's food service market is hungry for tech. Dubai-based reservation startup Eat App is placing a massive bet on the subcontinent, fueled by a new $10 million funding round and a strategic partnership with food delivery giant Swiggy.
Eat App India Expansion 2026: $10M Series B Extension
The company announced it raised $10 million in a Series B extension led by PSG Equity through its portfolio firm Zenchef SAS. This brings its total funding to over $23 million. While Eat App has been active for a decade across 92 countries, India has become its primary growth engine over the last 12 months.
Synergy with Swiggy and ReserveGo Acquisition
To cement its presence, Eat App acquired local rival ReserveGo in mid-2025. This move integrated over 1,000 restaurants into its ecosystem. Simultaneously, the startup partnered with Swiggy to launch GroMax, a tool that allows restaurants to manage reservations and promote their business on Meta and Swiggy platforms.
According to Nezar Kadhem, CEO of Eat App, the Indian market mirrors the 'scaffolding' phase seen in Dubai nearly a decade ago. The company currently manages over 2,000 restaurants in India and served 8 million covers by the end of last year.
