About DEGA
We're building the operating system for India’s food economy.
63 million food businesses in India still run on notebooks, WhatsApp groups, and Excel. DEGA exists to change that — with software built for the way Indian kitchens actually work, not a translated Western POS.
Our story
From a kitchen in Hyderabad to software used across India.
DEGA started with a simple observation: every food business in India was patching together 5–6 tools — a POS, a spreadsheet, a WhatsApp group, a payroll app, a GST filer, and a personal notebook. Nothing talked to anything else.
We rebuilt that stack as a single operating system, designed for UPI, GST, regional languages, and the way kitchens actually run. Starter is ₹499/month because a street vendor's software should cost less than a single day's biryani.
We're headquartered in Hyderabad and Dallas — close to both the operators we build for and the engineering talent that builds it.
What we believe
Principles that shape the product.
Built for the last mile
A ₹499 street vendor matters as much as a ₹10L cloud kitchen. The product has to work for both.
Indian-first, not Indian-added
UPI, GST, regional languages, PF/ESI — these are features from day zero, not v2 add-ons.
AI where it saves time, not where it sells
Morning briefs, prep forecasts, pricing hints. We don't bolt on a chatbot because it's trendy.
Transparent, always
Flat monthly pricing. No per-transaction cut. No dark patterns in the onboarding.
It's time
Free during launch. No credit card. No hardware. Just your phone and the time it takes to drink a chai.
