Burger Singh raises Rs 82 crore in Series B to build India’s franchise-first restaurant growth platform

By ET Hospitality World on March 18, 2026

Burger Singh, announced the successful close of its Series B funding round, raising Rs 82 crore at a valuation of Rs 520 crore. The round was led by Aitral Asia Pte Ltd and the round saw participation from a mix of new and existing investors such as Negen Undiscovered Value Fund, Aurum Rising India Fund etc.

The company will use the fresh capital to strengthen the systems, processes, and infrastructure required to build India’s most scalable franchise-first restaurant growth platform. While India’s quick-service restaurant industry has expanded significantly over the last two decades, much of that growth has been driven either through company-owned store networks or master franchise arrangements. As a result, India still lacks a deeply organised platform that enables local entrepreneurs to open and grow successful franchise-owned, franchise-operated restaurant outlets with the right support structure behind them.

With 200+ stores already in operation, Burger Singh has built one of the strongest franchise backbones among homegrown restaurant brands in India. The new funding will be used to deepen the company’s franchise engine across store design, training systems, operating manuals, supply chain integration, technology, and on-ground market support, with the goal of making restaurant entrepreneurship in India more structured, scalable, and repeatable.

For FY 2024–25, Burger Singh recorded revenue of Rs 117 crore, reflecting continued growth across both metro markets and emerging cities. The brand has built strong consumer resonance through its Indianised menu, accessible pricing, and a sharply differentiated brand voice, with products such as Nikku Singh, Udta Punjab 2.0, Churmur Pandey, and Bunty Pappeh Da Aloo becoming strong recall drivers in a crowded category.

Kabir Jeet Singh, founder and CEO of Burger Singh, said, “India has no shortage of entrepreneurs. What it lacks is enough high-quality operating platforms that allow those entrepreneurs to succeed in the restaurant business at scale. That is the gap we are solving. Burger Singh is building a franchise-first machine with the systems, supply chain, design standards, training, and operating discipline required to make store ownership more structured and more repeatable. We are not just opening outlets; we are building the platform Indian entrepreneurs can plug into to create successful restaurant businesses.”
