Mumbai-born pizza brand Hundo Pizza has raised ₹7.5 crore in its first announced funding round, with participation from Titan Capital, Indian Silicon Valley Capital (ISVC), Ankur Rangnekar, Akshay Rangnekar and Haresh Chawla. The funding will support the company's expansion into a new city, strengthen its production infrastructure and accelerate investments in technology.
Founded by Kabir Moorjani and Ronak Rajani, Hundo Pizza operates as a delivery-first quick-service restaurant (QSR) brand, focusing on gourmet flavours, quality ingredients and accessible pricing. The company aims to build a new-age Indian pizza brand designed around the growing demand for convenient food delivery.
Titan Capital announced the investment through a LinkedIn post, welcoming Hundo Pizza to its investment portfolio. Wavelength Partners acted as the deal advisor for the transaction.
Hundo Pizza Plans Expansion Beyond Mumbai
A significant portion of the newly raised capital will be directed towards expanding Hundo Pizza's operations into a new city. While the company has not yet disclosed its next expansion destination, the move signals its intention to establish a presence beyond its Mumbai home market.
Alongside geographical expansion, Hundo Pizza plans to strengthen its production capabilities through a 5,000-square-foot central kitchen. The facility is expected to support larger-scale food production, improve operational consistency and help the company maintain product quality as its business expands.
The company will also invest in technology to strengthen its delivery-first operating model and support its growing operations.
Titan Capital Sees Opportunity in India's Pizza Market
Commenting on the investment, Utpal Raman Sharma, Vice President at Titan Capital, highlighted the opportunity for emerging brands in India's pizza market.
According to Sharma, pizza remains one of India's most popular food categories, creating opportunities for new-age brands that can deliver on product quality, convenience and customer experience.
He also highlighted Hundo Pizza's focus on distinctive flavours, quality ingredients and a delivery-first format as key factors behind the investment.
Hundo Pizza's Founders Aim to Build a New-Age Indian QSR Brand
Founded by Kabir Moorjani and Ronak Rajani, Hundo Pizza is positioning itself differently from conventional restaurant-led pizza businesses. Its delivery-first approach focuses on combining gourmet-style food offerings with accessible pricing and operational efficiency.
The company's expansion strategy reflects a broader shift in India's quick-service restaurant industry, where food brands are increasingly exploring delivery-focused formats, centralised production facilities and technology-enabled operations.
Building a scalable kitchen infrastructure could help Hundo Pizza maintain consistency while entering new markets and managing increasing customer demand.
India's Competitive Pizza Market Attracts New-Age Brands
Hundo Pizza's latest funding comes at a time when India's pizza market continues to attract established restaurant chains as well as emerging homegrown food brands.
Established players such as Domino's, Pizza Hut, La Pino'z Pizza, MOJO Pizza and Oven Story have built significant positions in the market. However, evolving consumer preferences and the growth of online food ordering have created opportunities for differentiated brands targeting specific customer segments.
For Hundo Pizza, the next phase will involve replicating its business model beyond Mumbai while maintaining food quality, competitive pricing and delivery efficiency.
The ₹7.5 crore investment from Titan Capital and other participants provides the company with additional capital to pursue these ambitions.
As Hundo Pizza prepares to enter a new city and strengthen its production infrastructure, its ability to scale operations efficiently will be crucial in determining its position in India's increasingly competitive pizza and QSR market.
