Burger Singh has raised Rs 82 crore in a Series B round led by Artal Asia, taking the homegrown QSR’s valuation to Rs 520 crore. The funding, which also saw participation from Negen Undiscovered Value Fund and Aurum Rising India Fund, underlines investor confidence in India’s demand for affordable, localised fast-food brands.
Franchise-first strategy to accelerate expansion
The company will deploy the new capital to reinforce a franchise-led growth model, focusing on scalable systems across supply chain, technology, store operations and workforce training. By offering structured backend support to local entrepreneurs, Burger Singh’s franchise-first approach aims to simplify outlet operations and enable rapid roll-out across diverse markets.
Founder and CEO Kabir Jeet Singh has emphasised the company’s mission to professionalise restaurant entrepreneurship in India by providing organised operational frameworks and growth support to franchise partners.
Current footprint and growth targets
At present, Burger Singh operates more than 200 outlets across over 75 cities, spanning metros as well as tier-2 and tier-3 towns. The chain uses a hybrid mix of company-owned and franchised stores to accelerate market penetration beyond major urban centres.
Management has set an intermediate target of 300 outlets by 2026, with a longer-term goal of scaling to 1,000 outlets by 2030 to capture growing demand for budget-friendly QSR options in India.
Financial performance and competitive positioning
The brand has reported notable revenue growth alongside a marked reduction in losses, a combination that has strengthened its appeal to investors. Improved unit economics and operating efficiencies have been cited as drivers of the turnaround.
Burger Singh competes with global players such as McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s, yet differentiates itself through an Indianised menu and value-focused pricing. The fresh funding and a clarified expansion roadmap position the chain to extend its presence within India’s increasingly competitive QSR sector.
