Cookups is a homemade food delivery service that connects home cooks of all socioeconomic backgrounds to diners who want a taste of home. We have our own delivery service and cater to over 10,000 diners from 600 cooks thus creating income opportunities for women - mostly stay-at-home moms who lack other avenues to earn.70% of women identified themselves as housewives in BD. Even when women are highly educated, they take on the roles of housewives as unpaid labour. Through Cookups, they can gain financial independence while also taking care of their households.In BD, 87% of women also face domestic violence. While we are not directly addressing this we are offering them financial freedom which gives them choices and that is why, as a woman and cofounder, I care. The idea came about as we thought about our mothers, who cook very often and give away food for free. So we came up with the idea of an online platform for homemade food where cooks can earn from home doing what they love. This is an innovative idea because it marries age old traditions with cutting edge technology. This is the first time the sharing economy has been used in the context of food. The online food delivery business is growing now, but the homemade market is still untapped. We have 600 registered Cooks who used to rely solely on their husbands for a source of income. Through Cookups, they have been earning incomes. About 300 of them have become successful sellers on the platform. which has given them buying power within their households, which they did not have before.We earned around 42 lacs taka (BDT). We have not gotten any donations or grants.
