The food industry is at its boom these days and is taking a toll on consumer’s pocket. In this time of need and demand by the consumers, a lot of start-up companies are grabbing the opportunity and striking gold with the help of funding and business profits. Well, ultimately what matters in the end is the idea on which the company is based and these days, the creativity of ideas knows no bounds. So we have compiled a list of companies which have entered the food arena with their food-inside-the-box ideas. They have their own stories but we will highlight only the core concept- the factors that make them different.
