Food startup Monkeybox raised an undisclosed amount of funding from multiple investors. The round was led by Blume Ventures and a clutch of HNIs.
“The fund was mainly used for setting up of our kitchen and we are doing extremely well on traction hitting over 850 orders per day now in Bangalore south from our first cluster kitchen,” Sanjay Rao, one of the co-founders of the company, told Techcircle.
