Burger Singh raises Rs 82 Cr in Series B round at Rs 520 Cr valuation Homegrown burger chain Burger Singh has announced the closure of its Series B funding round at Rs 82 crore (nearly $9 million) at a valuation of Rs 520 crore ($56 million). The round was led by Artal Asia Pte Ltd and saw participation from a mix of new and existing investors such as Negen Undiscovered Value Fund, Aurum Rising India Fund, and others. Entrackr had exclusively reported about this round back in July last year. 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, Burger Singh said in a press release. Burger Singh runs a hybrid model with both company-owned and franchise-led outlets, serving a range of burgers, momos, fries, beverages, and desserts. The chain currently has over 200 outlets across 75 cities and aims to scale its footprint to more than 1,000 outlets by 2026. “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,” said Kabir Jeet Singh, Founder and CEO of Burger Singh. The company has reported 50% year-on-year growth to Rs 117 crore in FY25 from Rs 78 crore in FY24. Meanwhile, the net losses of the firm shrank by 86% to Rs 3.86 crore in FY25. It competes with both global and local QSR chains (quick service restaurants) such as McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Jumboking, Wat-a-Burger, Burgernama, and several others.

GIVA’s revenue from operations grew 89% to Rs 518 crore in FY25 from Rs 274 crore in FY24, according to its financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). GIVA makes money from the sale of jewellery products through its digital and physical retail network. The firm initially focused on silver jewellery and now has expanded into gold and lab-grown diamond categories. The company reported a nearly even split between online and offline channels, with each contributing roughly 50% to overall revenue. During the year, GIVA crossed the 200-store milestone and is approaching 300 outlets. The company also entered an international market with the launch of its first store in Sri Lanka which reported revenue of Rs 10.7 crore in FY25. The company’s total income stood at Rs 523 crore for the period. The cost of materials, the largest expense component for GIVA, rose 97% to Rs 227 crore and accounted for 38% of the overall expenses.

INDmoney’s operating revenue surged 2.3X year-on-year to Rs 164 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 70 crore in FY24. Its total revenue grew 67% to Rs 214 crore during the same period. Wealth management and investing platform INDmoney more than doubled its operating revenue in FY25. However, the company’s losses widened during the year as it stepped up investments across trading, lending, and global investing infrastructure. Unlike trading-led brokerages, INDmoney said that less than 10% of its revenue in FY25 came from futures and options (F&O) trading, with the bulk of income generated from long-term investor behaviour. Around 85% of the company’s revenue now has annuity or perpetuity-like characteristics, led by recurring investments, long-term asset holding, and repeat usage across products. According to the company, the platform earns revenue across multiple segments, including Indian and US equities, cross-border remittances, wealth management services, secured lending, insurance, and other financial products. The company also recently introduced trading services under a separate platform, INDstocks. On the bottom line, INDmoney’s cash losses widened to Rs 76 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 32 crore in FY24. As per the company, the increase in losses was primarily due to front-loaded investments during the year. These included building a full-stack Indian trading infrastructure, expanding global investing capabilities through GIFT City, setting up in-house lending rails for its NBFC business, strengthening compliance and technology systems, and higher user acquisition costs related to INDstocks. INDmoney has raised $133 million since its inception in 2019. The Ashish Kashyap-led company raised its latest funding worth $75 million in January 2022 at a valuation of more than $600 million.
