Kabir Jeet Singh, Nitin Rana, and Rahul Seth founded the company in Gurugram in 2014, opening the first store on November 1 of that year. Kabir's experience working at a burger shop while studying at the University of Birmingham in the UK led the company toward pairing burgers with Indian spices.
It lines up burgers that lead with Indian flavors, such as the Amritsari Murg Burger and the Keema Pav Burger. Since beef is off the menu by default, it builds its range around chicken, mutton, and vegetarian items.
Adapting the flavor to local tastes also creates a position that can't be directly compared to McDonald's or Burger King. Rather than competing with global brands on quality or price, it's designed to be chosen as a different kind of food altogether.
Malls and office districts in big cities have high rents, and foreign chains have already claimed them. Burger Singh focused its store openings on smaller cities — the ones referred to as tier 3 and tier 4 — where rent is cheap and competition is thin.
On the other hand, per-store revenue is smaller in these cities. Making the economics work means keeping investment and operating costs low. This is why franchising is the main model, keeping stores at a size franchisees can fund themselves.
Revenue for FY2025 (year ended March 2025) was ₹119.9 crore, up 50.6% year on year. In March 2026 it raised ₹82 crore in a Series B led by Artal Asia at a ₹520 crore valuation. It has set a target of more than 750 stores by 2028.
Looking only at India's urban restaurant market, high rents and heavy competition make entry look difficult. But smaller cities are a different market, with different price points and quality expectations. Burger Singh is a company that bet on that market.
When a Japanese restaurant chain enters India, which segment it targets changes where it should open. For affluent urban consumers, the direction is reproducing authentic flavor; for smaller cities, price and adapting to local taste are the starting point. Targeting both with the same brand is difficult.
