Thanks to food delivery apps, we are spoilt for choice — a little too much one might say. Start-up founder Akshay Bhartiya is solving this problem with his new app called Luckd. With this food delivery app, you do not have to select the dishes you want. They deliver surprise mystery bags from popular cafes and restaurants in the city. Here is how it works.

Current Status and Future Plans
Luckd, the app developed by Akshay, is currently experiencing strong customer retention and repeat business, indicating a positive response from users. The demand for restaurant options is currently outpacing supply, leading the company to focus on curating a select number of dining choices. Akshay emphasizes that for busy individuals, having fewer but well-chosen options can feel like a daily treat. Looking ahead, Luckd plans to expand its offerings beyond food to include categories such as beauty, wellness, and outdoor experiences.
