The Company’s gourmet pizza brand Nomad Pizza and the biryani brand Sharief Bhai are the fastest-growing brands, growing at over 50% Quarter-on-Quarter. In December 2022, Curefoods recorded a milestone of crossing 1.1 million orders per month, resulting in an annual recurring revenue of INR 550 crore.

“I am very delighted to have the continued support of all our existing investors, who have a major role to play as we continue to grow and expand our brands and geographical presence. Our investors understand our brand vision very well and are aligned to our long-term goal of creating multiple 500 crore brands,” said Ankit Nagori, Founder of Curefoods. “This funding will allow us to reach new customers and markets while also targeting our offline model expansion. We are excited about the future of consumer brands and look forward to innovating and leading brands in this space for India, while delivering authentic and nutritious food to many Indians, according to the Indian taste palette.”
