Paradise Biryani, one of India's most recognized biryani brands based in Hyderabad, is looking to raise ₹100 crore (approximately $12 million USD) to accelerate its expansion efforts. The private equity firm Samara Capital, which holds a 100% stake in Paradise Food Court, is in talks with various Indian family offices for this fundraise. The plan involves diluting 10-12% of its stake in the brand, which has been part of Samara's portfolio since 2014. Currently, Paradise operates about 57 stores across cities like Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Gurugram, generating a revenue of ₹300 crore. With the new capital, Paradise aims to open 100 new outlets over the next three years, targeting major cities such as Pune, Kolkata, and New Delhi. This expansion comes amid favorable trends in the biryani market, driven by rising online food orders and improving consumer spending.
