Burger Singh has secured Rs 82 crore in a Series B funding round led by Artal Asia, lifting its valuation to Rs 520 crore. The injection, which also saw participation from Negen Undiscovered Value Fund and Aurum Rising India Fund, underscores investor confidence in homegrown, value-oriented quick service restaurant (QSR) brands catering to India’s expanding demand for affordable, localised fast food.
Franchise-first model to accelerate expansion
The company will deploy the fresh capital to deepen its franchise-led growth strategy, focusing on scalable systems across supply chain, technology, workforce training and store operations. Burger Singh’s model empowers local entrepreneurs to operate outlets with structured backend support, enabling faster roll-out while maintaining operational consistency.
Founder and CEO Kabir Jeet Singh said the aim is to address the gap in organised support for restaurant entrepreneurs in India, offering a repeatable and scalable format that can be adopted across diverse markets.
Current footprint and growth targets
As of now, Burger Singh operates more than 200 outlets across over 75 cities, spanning metropolitan and non-metro centres. A hybrid mix of company-owned and franchised stores has helped the brand penetrate tier-2 and tier-3 markets more rapidly than a purely corporate model might allow.
The company has set targets to reach 300 outlets by 2026 and scale to around 1,000 locations by 2030, plans that align with rising consumer demand for budget-friendly QSR options outside major urban centres.
Financial trajectory and competitive positioning
Burger Singh has posted robust revenue growth while narrowing losses, trends that have made it an appealing opportunity for investors seeking exposure to India’s organised QSR sector. Improved unit economics and operating efficiencies are cited as drivers of the company’s stronger financial profile.
In a market dominated by global chains such as McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s, Burger Singh differentiates itself through Indianised menu offerings and a value-focused proposition. The fresh funding and clarified expansion roadmap position the brand to increase its share in India’s competitive quick service restaurant landscape.
