Curefoods, a cloud kitchen player, has raised INR 80 crore in debt funding from investors Binny Bansal and Jitender Kumar Bansal. This latest funding marks another milestone for Curefoods, which has seen rapid growth and acquisitions in recent years. The company is well-positioned to continue its expansion in the competitive cloud kitchen space.
The latest INR 80 crore debt funding from Binny Bansal and Jitender Kumar Bansal comes just six months after Curefoods raised $25 million in its Series D round from Three State Ventures, a fund led by Binny Bansal. The funding signals strong investor confidence in Curefoods’ operational capabilities and future growth prospects.
This debt funding pushes the total capital raised by Curefoods to over $200 million. The company is in talks to raise an additional $40 million as part of its Series D round, potentially boosting its valuation to $500 million. The continued capital inflow highlights Curefoods’ leading position in the cloud kitchen market.
Curefoods Expands Brand Portfolio
Curefoods, founded in 2020, operates a diverse portfolio of cloud kitchen brands, including EatFit, Yumlane, Aligarh House Biryani, Masalabox, and CakeZone. With over 100 kitchens across 200 locations in 15 cities, Curefoods maintains a robust operational presence supported by seven food factories and 150 multi-brand kitchens.
In 2023, it further expanded its market reach by acquiring YumLane Pizza and Millet Express. These strategic acquisitions and an INR 10 crore ($1.2 million) investment in the food discovery platform Hogr reflect the company’s commitment to leveraging technology and innovation to grow its brand portfolio and customer base.
The cloud kitchen startup has cemented its position as the second-largest player in the cloud kitchen industry, trailing only Rebel Foods. The company reported INR 384 crore in revenue for FY23, and its FY24 financial results are eagerly awaited. Competitors like EatClub and Biryani By Kilo are also growing, but Curefoods’ strategic moves and funding success set it apart.
With solid investor backing, a diverse brand portfolio, and an aggressive growth strategy, Curefoods is set to continue its rise in the global cloud kitchen market.
