Platforms for selling biryani have suddenly become more popular in India, but one company has dominated this market for nearly ten years. We are discussing the brand Biryani By Kilo, which has a market capitalization of over Rs 800 crore. Biryani By Kilo, founded in 2015 by seasoned businessmen Kaushik Roy and Vishal Jindal, reported revenue of Rs 300 crore for FY23 and anticipates breaking even in the first quarter of FY24. In a recent Series C investment headed by Alpha Wave Ventures, the company raised Rs 72 crore.

Jindal oversees the company's strategy and marketing. Being a foodie himself is beneficial to the company. He has also participated in numerous other ventures. But his love is the biryani business. The primary goal of the enterprise was to bring back India's Khansama custom, in which every order was produced by hand. Packed into a clay pot and sealed with cooked flour is the biryani.
