“By the end of FY24, we aim to inaugurate at least five outlets, followed by an additional five outlets by the end of FY25,” he elaborated.
On average, each One8 Commune outlet occupies a 5,000 sq ft area, with a corresponding capital expenditure ranging between INR 2.5-3 crore.
Additionally, by mid FY25, the brand plans to add more verticals, such as a café offering Virat Kohli’s merchandise.”We’re set to provide healthy smoothies, nutritious bowls, and high-protein diet options in the cafes,” he affirmed.
The bootstrapped brand has been experiencing a year-on-year growth of 14-15 percent. Moreover, each of its outlets reaches the breakeven point within two years of operation.
“We closed the previous fiscal year with INR 100 crore in revenue, and for the current fiscal year, we aim to double our revenue, reaching INR 200 crore,” he said.
