The company also has central kitchen in Bengaluru and plans to open one in Gurgugram, he added.

On being asked about how the company plans to fund the expansion, Khalsa said: “It will be through internal accruals, money left from our earlier funding round from SNAM Group of companies, and we are also taking some debt for this.”
