== Overview == thumb|219x219px|John Tsioris, founder of Instashop instashop was founded in 2015 in Dubai by Greek entrepreneurs John Tsioris and Ioanna Angelidaki. The idea for the company emerged when Tsioris became frustrated with the traditional phone-based process of ordering groceries, which he found inefficient and time-consuming. To address this, he partnered with Angelidaki to develop a mobile-first service that streamlines on-demand grocery shopping. Together, they assembled a team and built an early version of the app that they launched in the UAE market. The company is currently led by its CEO, Nikola Cabarkapa.
