Technical study is incomplete without the practical knowledge. No doubt theory provides the
fundamental stone for the guidance of practice examines the element of truth lying in the
theory.
There is a well-known proverb “without practical knowledge no one can achieve success”. It
is like “experience is the best teacher” on that base we can say, a person who wants to be
successful in the life he/she has to have knowledge about theoretical as well as practical
knowledge and step into the giant world.
Practice make man prefect as it said that study with knowledge you know only theoretical
work and with experience you know that exact practical functioning and meaning.
This report has been prepared with a specific purpose in mind. It outlines the history and
current scenario of Zomato globally and locally. The first part of the study takes us through
the present state of affairs of the online food industry.
The report contains a brief introduction of Zomato and a detailed view of the tasks, which
have been undertaken to analyse the market of Zomato i.e. we have evaluated the company
on Michael Five force model, PESTLE analysis and SWOT analysis of Zomato in order to
identify areas of potential growth for Zomato.
