QSR Brand Burger Singh Secures Series B Funding at Rs 520 Crore Valuation

Burger Singh has closed its Series B funding round, raising Rs 82 crore at a valuation of Rs 520 crore, as it looks to strengthen its franchise-led expansion strategy in India’s quick-service restaurant (QSR) sector.

The round was led by Artal Asia Pte Ltd, with participation from investors including Negen Undiscovered Value Fund and Aurum Rising India Fund. The capital infusion is expected to support the company’s focus on building a scalable, franchise-first restaurant platform.

Burger Singh plans to deploy the funds towards strengthening core operational areas such as systems, processes, infrastructure, and supply chain capabilities. The company is also investing in store design, training frameworks, operating manuals, and technology integration to create a structured ecosystem for franchise partners.

The development comes at a time when India’s QSR industry has largely expanded through company-owned outlets and master franchise models. Burger Singh is positioning itself to address the gap in enabling franchise-owned and franchise-operated outlets with standardised operational support.

With more than 200 stores currently operational, the brand has built a franchise network that spans both metro markets and emerging cities. For FY 2024–25, Burger Singh reported revenue of Rs 117 crore, indicating continued growth across its store network.

The company has differentiated itself through an Indianised menu and accessible pricing strategy, with products such as Nikku Singh, Udta Punjab 2.0, Churmur Pandey, and Bunty Pappeh Da Aloo contributing to brand recall in a competitive category.

Kabir Jeet Singh, Founder and CEO of Burger Singh, said, “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. Burger Singh is building a franchise-first machine with the systems, supply chain, design standards, training, and operating discipline required to make store ownership more structured and more repeatable. We are not just opening outlets; we are building the platform Indian entrepreneurs can plug into to create successful restaurant businesses.”

The company’s focus on a franchise-first model reflects a broader shift within the hospitality sector towards asset-light expansion strategies, particularly in high-growth markets where local entrepreneurship plays a key role in scaling operations.
