Oman-based food technology startup KitchenomiKs has raised $3.2 million in a funding round led by Jasoor Ventures, bringing its total capital raised to $6.7 million. The investment marks a major step in the company’s growth strategy to scale its presence across Oman and the wider GCC region.
Founded in 2022 by Aankush Bhatia, Aju Samuel, and Shrikanth Shenoy, KitchenomiKs has already delivered more than one million meals in Muscat. The company operates through a central kitchen supported by a growing network of satellite kitchens and 13 proprietary virtual brands.
Redefining the Food Delivery Landscape
KitchenomiKs focuses on a simple vision: to create a smarter and more efficient food ecosystem using technology and data. The company blends culinary expertise with advanced digital tools to deliver consistent, high-quality meals at scale.
Its proprietary AI-driven platform, KiKsIQ, lies at the heart of its operations, optimizing everything from menu design to delivery logistics. KiKsIQ enables KitchenomiKs to:
- Analyze customer preferences to predict demand and personalize offerings.
- Improve operational efficiency across kitchens and delivery networks.
- Reduce food waste through precise inventory management.
- Enhance customer experience with real-time data insights.
This technology-driven approach has allowed the company to achieve high consistency, speed, and scalability. This is setting a new benchmark in the regional cloud kitchen and foodtech space.
Fueling GCC Expansion
The latest funding round will accelerate KitchenomiKs’ expansion plan across Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. The company will focus on building new satellite kitchens and deepening partnerships with local and international brands.
According to Founder and CEO Aankush Bhatia, the next phase of growth focuses on “scaling smarter.” He added, “As we continue delivering high-quality meals at scale, our focus now shifts to building the technology and ecosystem that will power the future of food across the region.”
Investor Confidence in Foodtech Innovation
Lead investor Jasoor Ventures emphasized that KitchenomiKs aims to capture a growing demand for accessible, high-quality food options in the region.

KitchenomiKs has built a strong foundation and continues to grow with focus and discipline. It aligns with our mission of backing ventures that create lasting value in emerging sectors.”
Building the Future of Regional F&B
With rising urbanization and a fast-growing online delivery market, KitchenomiKs is leveraging its data-first approach. This will help to redefine how food is cooked, distributed, and consumed in the GCC.
The company’s blend of technology, innovation, and culinary diversity positions it as one of the most promising players in the region’s expanding foodtech ecosystem.
