India's food delivery market crossed ₹80,000 crore in 2025, and it's still growing at 25% annually. Behind every successful delivery brand is a kitchen — and increasingly, that kitchen is shared.
What is a cloud kitchen?
A cloud kitchen (also called a ghost kitchen or dark kitchen) is a commercial kitchen space designed exclusively for delivery-only food businesses. There's no dine-in area, no storefront — just a professional kitchen optimized for volume and efficiency.
Why shared kitchens make sense
Starting a traditional restaurant in a metro city requires ₹30–80 lakh in upfront investment. A cloud kitchen on SeekMySpace? You can get started for ₹50,000–₹2,00,000 per month, with no capex. That's a 90% reduction in startup costs.
Shared kitchen facilities provide commercial-grade equipment, FSSAI-compliant infrastructure, cold storage, and often even staff support — all included in the monthly fee.
The multi-brand model
Many cloud kitchen operators run 3–5 brands from a single kitchen. A single kitchen might simultaneously serve a biryani brand, a health bowl brand, and a dessert brand — each with its own branding and menu on delivery platforms. This model maximizes revenue per square foot.
What to look for in a cloud kitchen space
When searching for a cloud kitchen on SeekMySpace, prioritise: proximity to delivery hotspots (check Zomato and Swiggy heatmaps), adequate ventilation and exhaust systems, water supply reliability, and power backup. Also check the operator's FSSAI licence and fire safety compliance.
The opportunity ahead
India has the second-largest food delivery market in the world, and cloud kitchens are the infrastructure layer powering it. If you're a food entrepreneur, there's never been a better time to launch — and platforms like SeekMySpace make it easier than ever to find your perfect kitchen.
