Samara-backed Paradise raised Rs 100 crore to scale biryani chain to 150 stores and Rs 550 crore by FY29, expanding to Bengaluru, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, NCR via smaller omni-format outlets and ready-to-cook SKUs on Zepto, Blinkit.

Why this matters

Paradise is moving from Hyderabad-anchored regional play to national QSR challenger, taking institutional capital to compete head-on with Biryani By Kilo and Behrouz across metros and quick commerce.

Retail-brand activity steady at 606 signals over the last 90 days.
