Rebel Foods secures $25m from Qatar Investment Authority to support growth
This funding is set to bolster the expansion of Rebel Foods' physical restaurants, as well as food courts, indicating a shift for the Temasek-supported company.
Few people under anonymity revealed information regarding the restaurant plan.
One of the parties said: 'The company wants to expand restaurant and café business, essentially to expand in an omnichannel way.'
The parent company of brands such as Faasos and Behrouz Biryani, Rebel Foods has not issued a statement on the matter.
A large portion of the investment is earmarked for the growth of Rebel Foods' food court venture, Eatsure.
Another source said: 'The company wants to start some key restaurants and food courts where their branded food items can be sold and dined in. They now want to have an omnichannel approach. This is likely to challenge any incoming competition from newer players and quick commerce majors.'
The company's strategy includes a diverse offering within its food courts, ranging from biryani to pizza, and cakes to coffee.
With the fresh capital, Rebel Foods is poised to inaugurate additional outlets in key Indian cities such as Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru and Delhi. The company also recently partnered with Wendy's in India.
The introduction of new outlets comes alongside reports from December, when Mint cited an anonymous source claiming that KKR was in the process of acquiring $50m-$75m worth of Rebel Foods shares from existing investors, at a valuation of $800m-$860m.
Furthermore, Rebel Foods is reportedly considering an initial public offering within the next one to one and a half years.
In February 2025, Rebel Foods opened its third Oven Story Pizza store in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh.

The Future of Regenerative Medicine Unfolds
Synthetic stem cell lab-engineers are cell mimic designed to repeat the therapeutic effects of natural stem cells without living cell therapy, such as immune rejection or risks associated with tumor formation. These synthetic options often use biometrics or nanoparticles to distribute regenerative signals and therapeutic molecules. Market safe for synthetic stem cells, more scalable regenerative medical solutions, progression in biometric and nanotechnology and increasing demand due to increasing demand due to increased prevalence of chronic diseases and tissue injuries, requiring innovative, low -risk treatment options. Key Growth Drivers and Opportunities Progression in Biometric and Nanotechnology: Progress in biometrics and nanotechnology is significantly running the development of the synthetic stem cell market by enabling the accurate design and construction of the cell-mimicking system repeating natural stem cells. Nanotechnology enhances targeted distribution, bio -purpose and controlled release of therapeutic agents, while biometric advanced cell surface helps to mimic the surface markers and signaling the necessary routes for tissue regeneration. These innovations not only improve the safety and efficacy of synthetic stem cell therapy, but also make them more scalable and adaptable for various clinical applications, which accelerate their adoption in regenerative therapy. Challenges The synthetic stem cell market faces several borders, including challenges in completely imitating complex biological functions and adaptability of natural stem cells. Issues such as limited long-term efficacy, potential immune reactions and scalability of high-loyal synthetic cells can obstruct widely adopting. Additionally, the requirement of regulator uncertainty and extensive clinical verification slows down commercialization and integration in mainstream treatments. These obstacles must be addressed to feel the full potential of synthetic stem cell technologies in regenerative medicine. Innovation and Expansion Next-Gen Stem Cell Products for Regenerative Medicine Revealed by Bioserve India In July 2024, with great pleasure, Bioserve India announced the arrival of its cutting-edge stem cell products in India. With the help of these new REPROCELL solutions, the Indian market will see advances in regenerative medicine and therapeutic discoveries as well as innovation in scientific research and medication development. The market for stem cells is a quickly expanding sector that includes a variety of goods and services. Many sectors of the stem cell market are involved in vital tasks such product development, production, and distribution of stem cell treatment. New medicines and improvements in healthcare are anticipated as a result of this launch, which is anticipated to stimulate stem cell research and therapeutic development in India. The First Scientific Development of Synthetic Human Embryos without Sperm or Egg In June 2023, in an innovative development that avoids the need for eggs or sperm, scientists have used stem cells to produce synthetic human embryos. These model embryos, which are similar to those in the early phases of human development, may offer a vital insight into the effects of genetic diseases and the biochemical reasons for repeated miscarriages, according to scientists. As scientists are only legally permitted to nurture embryos in the lab for a maximum of 14 days, the effort is motivated by the desire to help scientists grasp the so-called 'black box' stage of development. Pregnancy scans and research-donated embryos are then used to pick up the development considerably farther along. Inventive Sparks, Expanding Markets The key players operating the synthetic stem cells market involves Sangamo Therapeutics, Athersys, Pluristem Therapeutics, Cellular Biomedicine Group, Vericel, BrainstormCell Therapeutics, Caladrius Biosciences, Cytori Therapeutics, Cesca Therapeutics, VistaGen Therapeutics.
