Xero Degrees, the venture of Kashish Aneja and Shivam Kakkar, is set for a rapid expansion as it approaches its fifth anniversary, with plans to open 100 outlets across India by June 2023.
Xero Degrees, the popular cafe chain known for its Instagram-worthy and affordable offerings, has made a name for itself with its creative and innovative dishes like Fries in a Jar, Pizza in a Jar, and Waffle in a Jar. Since opening its first outlet in Connaught Place, New Delhi, the brand has expanded rapidly, and now, on the verge of its fifth anniversary, is planning to have 100 outlets across India by the end of June 2023. With its recent flagship outlet opening in Koramangala, Bengaluru, the company has five more openings in the pipeline.
Kashish Aneja, Co-Founder, said, “Our commitment to serving the most innovative dishes coupled with our strong social media presence, has fueled a high demand from customers across India. With our explosive expansion plans, we aim to make our brand accessible to more customers, and offer a unique culinary experience.”
As part of their expansion strategy, Xero Degrees is also seeking a Venture Capitalist who can assist them in executing their plans more effectively.
“The next 5 years are going to be crucial for our brand, and we are committed to investing not less than 100 crore to support our expansion plans. The idea is to open company-owned outlets and facilitate a more controlled way of working. While we are slowly shifting our focus on the south and southeast regions of India this year, we will soon be planning a major expansion in the south with a bang,” added Shivam kakkar.
Xero Degrees is not only expanding domestically, but also has international expansion plans, with a focus on targeting countries such as Canada, Australia, and the Middle East.
