Yesterday โ€“ reports suggested ChrysCapital finalised a โ‚น2,410 Cr deal to acquire Theobroma. One of India's most loved bakery chains is now set to be one of its largest cash exits in the F&B space. ICICI Ventures (which owned 42%) is expected to walk away with ~โ‚น1,012 Cr on a โ‚น130 Cr investment made in 2017 โ†’ 7.8x return in 7 years Theobroma numbers (FY24, 225 outlets across 30+ cities): โ€“ Revenue: โ‚น452 Cr โ€“ Net Profit: โ‚น27 Cr โ€“ Projected FY25 EBITDA: โ‚น80โ€“100 Cr Starting in a 1BHK in Colaba in '04, Sisters Kainaz & Tina Messman built a brand on premium bakes + strong word of mouth โ†’ took 10 years to raise their first round of capital: โ‚น22 Lakh from Zend advisors. ๐ŸงThereโ€™s growing PE appetite in F&B, especially for brands with strong recall and national scale - a). Haldiram has seen consistent inbound interest (Temasek + Alphawave invested earlier this year) b). ChrysCapital is likely moving on Belgian Waffle Co next (โ‚น1,000 Cr deal in the works) โญ๏ธTheobroma Founders will likely see one of the largest cash exits by women entrepreneurs in Indian consumer history.
