Burger Singh denies ₹47 cr funding, says no money has hit the bank yet
The report, published by Entrackr on July 17, interpreted a Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) document — Form MGT-14 — as proof of the deal. But the burger brand says: cool your grills.
'This is not a cheque. It's a pitch,' the company clarified, adding that MGT-14 is just a regulatory form that allows a company to offer shares to investors — not confirmation that someone actually bought them.
What did Burger Singh say?
'If listing a share offer meant we've raised the money,' said CEO Kabir Jeet Singh, 'then every bachelor on Shaadi.com is married. And I guess I'm the Maharaja of Jaipur because I checked out a palace on Google Maps.'
The company even likened the misunderstanding to the recent cricket heartbreak at Lord's Test where India lost to England in a thriller. 'It's like reporting an Indian Test win just before Siraj took guard against Shoaib Bashir's second-last ball. Sometimes the ball trickles back and knocks off the bails. So do your hopes.'
'MGT-14 is like putting your house on 99acres'
The brand went on to explain that the filing simply shows an intent to raise funds — much like listing a house online doesn't mean it's sold. 'We're open for business. The investors still have to say yes, transfer the money, and sign on the dotted line.'
The WhatsApp that never was
As for whether the journalist reached out, the company claimed a WhatsApp message was sent but went unnoticed in a sea of unknown numbers. 'Kabir gets more random WhatsApps than a housing society aunty during Navratri,' they joked.
No cash, just conversation
Burger Singh says it's grateful for the enthusiasm, but calls the early reporting 'trigger-happy' and urges restraint until transactions are actually closed.
So, is there ₹47 crore in Burger Singh's bank account? 'Not yet. But when it's real,' the brand promised. 'We'll be shouting it from the rooftops — with fries.'

Synopsis Anupam Mittal, the founder of has criticised the United States for its sluggish progress on trade and visa matters, in contrast to the UK's more welcoming stance. He highlighted the significant contributions of Indians to the US economy, especially in the fields of technology and finance, while urging India to assert its economic influence and demand fair treatment. Anupam Mittal (Image: Linkedin) founder Anupam Mittal didn't hold back as he criticised the United States for dragging its feet on trade and visa matters. In a viral post on LinkedIn, Mittal praised India's new trade agreement with the UK, calling it a major shift in global power dynamics.'After years of colonial hangover, it's finally India calling the shots,' he wrote, taking a clear dig at the US for failing to keep the UK seems to be rolling out the red carpet, Mittal said the US is still 'playing hardball.' He pointed out the irony, Indians are no longer just exporting goods, they're actually powering the American economy.'Tech? Mostly run by Indians. Wall Street?

Shaadi.com founder slams US for visa, trade delays: 'Indians are building US economy'
founder Anupam Mittal shared a message for US after India's recent breakthrough trade agreement with the UK. In a viral LinkedIn post, Mittal hailed the new trade deal as a symbolic close to colonial baggage. 'After years of colonial hangover, it's finally India calling the shots,' he wrote, criticising US for not following through in a similar way. Anupam Mittal argued that America's stance shows more 'posture than partnership" 'While the UK's rolling out the red US seems to be playing hardball. Here's the irony > We're not just exporting goods & services anymore. Indians are shining brighter than diamonds & building the US economy. Tech? Mostly run by Indians. Wall Street? Flooded with Indian-origin fund managers. P&G's latest CEO? Indian again. And VC-backed startups? At least one Indian founder on the cap table. There was a time when being Indian was a ceiling in corporate America. Now it's almost a prerequisite," he said. However, Mittal pointed out, US has not adapted its policy approach accordingly, even as Indians are "building the US economy". He argued that America's stance shows more 'posture than partnership", and India needs to flex its diplomatic and economic muscle. 'India needs a favourable trade deal, but it is engaging on its own terms. So dear America, doesn't look like bullying will work. India should issue a counter ultimatum—play ball or we bring back our Kohinoors," he added, sharing an AI-generated picture of himself at Times Square. The post struck a chord online with many supporting his call for an ultimatum to US. "India's no longer waiting for a seat, it's redesigning the table, and this is just the start. It is all going to be about talent, tech, leadership, and leverage," said one of them. Another added, "The rise of Indian leadership in global business is undeniable. What's missing now is policy support that matches the impact of this talent. "
