You're In Business

FOODRIDE is a legitimate, verifiable hyperlocal food delivery service operating in Andhra Pradesh, India, with over 10,000 downloads on the Google Play Store. While the project is functional and has achieved 'minimal traction' (falling into the <50K user calibration tier), the submission itself is poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing key financial metrics. The discrepancy between the claimed reach ('everyone') and the reality (regional rural focus) significantly impacts the score. However, the verified existence of the app, recent updates (Jan 2026), and coverage in SiliconIndia prevent a zero score, acknowledging it as a working small business.
