Charcoal Eats continues to raise the bar in the food tech space across India and we are thrilled to serve as their long-term growth partner in bringing better food to more plates across the country,” said Bhavik Vasa, founder, GetVantage that has also funded digital-first businesses including Rage Coffee, Magic Crate and AutoBrix.
