Make your Lunch hour, Learn hour with LetsLunch, says Syed Shuttari

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these COVID-19 times?

Tell us about you, your career, how you founded LetsLunch.com

Syed Shuttari: The idea for starting LetsLunch.com came about when I worked for a bank for 5 years and was having the same daily routine during lunchtime. That made me wonder how I could utilize my lunch hour better. Happily, I ended up building a product to addresses that.

How does LetsLunch.com innovate? 

Syed Shuttari: Make your Lunch hour, Learn hour is our premise. Whether you’re looking to meet experts in a field, touring companies you are interested in working for, or expanding your network, we fill your lunch slots with the kind of people you are looking to connect with.

How the coronavirus pandemic affects your business, and how are you coping?

Syed Shuttari: Most lunch meetings are happening virtually, which has helped us overcome the geographic limitations.

How do you deal with stress and anxiety? How do you project yourself and LetsLunch.com in the future?

Syed Shuttari: It’s just a matter of when before people start returning to the offices. It won’t be for all 5 days of the week, and the idea of work from home/office expands to work from more places. We are planning to address these trends and allow people to use their lunchtime more creatively.

Who are your competitors? And how do you plan to stay in the game?

Syed Shuttari: lunchclub, lunchpool, and a few more unknown startups are all vying for the same place. LetsLunch has the brand advantage and is first in the business. We have detailed experience of customers, their needs, and a huge database of hundreds of thousands of lunches to tap into for analytics.

Syed Shuttari: Markets switch between various extremes – unbundling/bundling, online/offline, work from home/ work from office, recognition/privacy.
