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.

Bengaluru-based coffee-first beverage QSR brand Drickle (formerly BONOMI) has raised close to Rs 6 crore in seed funding through equity. The round saw participation from multiple angel investors and operators, including Param Kandhari, Naresh Krishnaswamy, Abhinav Mathur, Hemanshu Jain, Vinay Bhopatkar, Vaibhav Sisinty, Dalvir Suri, and Rishit Jhunjhunwala. Shaili Chopra also participated via Ideabaaz. In April 2025, Drickle had earlier raised Rs 5.3 crore with an additional Rs 50 lakh coming in as an extension of the round via Ideabaaz. The fresh capital will be used to expand Drickle’s outlet network in Bengaluru, strengthen backend manufacturing, build leadership and operations teams, and invest in marketing and brand building. Founded by Rahul Nijhawann and Vardhman Jain, Drickle operates seven compact-format outlets across Bengaluru. Each outlet spans 150–200 sq ft and is clustered within micromarkets to drive high-frequency consumption. The brand operates in the Rs 100–150 price range. Drickle follows a coffee-first model, offering fresh-brewed flavoured coffees, while also selling matcha, boba, and Thai tea beverages. The brand runs an owned backend manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, producing coffee brewing solutions and key ingredients in-house. This allows Drickle to operate asset-light outlets without espresso machines and maintain tighter control over margins and supply chain.
