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).

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.
