Bengaluru-based quick service restaurant (QSR) brand Babai Tiffins (Ristara Foods Pvt. Ltd.), which focuses on pure-vegetarian Andhra cuisine, has raised INR 15.5 crore to expand its regional cuisine business.
The fundraise comes after the brand appeared on Bharat Ke Super Founders, a business reality show on Amazon MX Player hosted by Suniel Shetty. On the show, Babai Tiffins secured INR 10.5 crore, including INR 8 crore in equity and INR 2.5 crore in venture debt from Recur Club.
The equity round was led by Warmup Ventures, with participation from 888VC, CDM Capital, and nX Capital Partners. Additional investments were made on the show by investors such as Dr A Velumani (Thyrocare), Ankur Mittal (Physis Capital), Ahana Gautam (Open Secret), and Shivam Mishra (String Ventures).
Founded by Allu Siva Rama Krishna Reddy and Ravi Morampudi, Babai Tiffins began as a breakfast-focused outlet and has grown into a structured QSR offering meals, snacks, and traditional Andhra favourites. Despite having just three outlets in Bengaluru, the brand handles close to 2 lakh monthly orders and operates at an annual revenue run rate of nearly INR 50 crore.
The fresh capital will help Babai Tiffins expand from three to ten outlets over the next two years and accelerate entry into packaged foods, including podis, pickles, sweets, and savouries inspired by Andhra recipes. The company is targeting INR 150 crore in revenue by building growth across both QSR and FMCG segments.
As Indian consumers increasingly seek authentic regional flavours, Babai Tiffins aims to establish a model for scaling pure-vegetarian Andhra cuisine nationally.
