Bigspoon, an Ahmedabad-based cloud kitchen startup, has raised INR 100 crores in a funding round from IAN, along with NB Ventures, Go-Ventures, Lets Venture, Grip Invest, Anicut Capital, and joined by celebrity investor Mouni Roy — who would also be associated in brand incubation and endorsements.
The company intends to utilize the fund to expand to more than 250 kitchens in 75 cities across the country, add brands in top categories, hire for significant leadership positions, invest in technology for clients, and backward integration for effective production and supply chain.
With 80 kitchens spread throughout 16 states and 35+ cities, Bigspoon caters to 150,000+ diners every month. It houses 9 brands, including Mehfil Biryani by Zakir Khan, Makhni Brothers, Thali Central, and Meals101 spanning various cuisines and menu options. Creedcap Asia advised Bigspoon on the funding round.
Kapil Mathrani, CEO and Co-Founder, Bigspoon, said, “Our journey has been phenomenal, and till now, we have served over 3 million customers. With the current infusion of funds, we would look at investing across various verticals, expanding our footprint and adding brands in leading categories. Our incoming and existing investors have faith in our strategy to scale.”
Sanjiv Bajaj, IAN Lead Investor said “Kapil is a highly experienced entrepreneur who has taken his earlier startups to good exits for himself & his investors. The concept of cloud kitchen in India is still nascent and Bigspoon, with its expertise, possesses the right knowledge to revolutionize the sector. It will be filling the gap in the underpenetrated Tier-2 & 3 markets which are still underserved. The funds will serve as a catalyst to boost Bigspoon’s aim to expand its network across India. We are pleased to be a part of this innovative journey. The company has shown explosive growth since inception and we feel these funds will help them achieve next level.”
