BIGGUYS, a homegrown chicken QSR chain, has secured a significant investment of $2 million (over INR 16.62 crore).
This funding is a mix of equity and other instruments that comes entirely from a group of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs).
The increasing NRI investment underscores the growing allure of India’s QSR sector among investors in search of high-growth prospects within the country.
“We’re delighted by the immense interest shown by NRIs looking to invest in Indian homegrown QSRs. Their trust in our vision and dedication to the Indian market is highly affirming. This investment will play a pivotal role in driving our ambitious expansion goals and cementing our position as a frontrunner in the Indian QSR landscape,” remarked Sunil, CEO of BIGGUYS.
