Suzette Gourmet Bags Rs 10 Cr Funding From DSG, Yuj Ventures

Suzette Gourmet has raised Rs 10 crores in a round led by Yuj Ventures and DSG Consumer Partner.

The Mumbai-based organic food brand that runs Kitchen Garden in the city is planning to expand outlets in Colaba, Andheri, or Versova, among other locations, later this year.

The group is also planning to invest the raised amount for establishing a cloud kitchen to cater to food deliveries.

“We are very excited to reinforce our collaboration with DSG, which has supported us since the beginning, and welcome Yuj onboard. These two amazing investors will help us to develop our footprint in Mumbai and to enhance customer experience through new formats and channels,” shared Antonia Achache, Co-founder, Suzette Gourmet.

Suzette Gourmet was founded in 2011 by French chefs Antonia Achache, Jérémie Sabbagh, and Pierre Labail.

“We are very excited to continue backing Jérémie, Antonia, and Pierre on their journey as they continue to build the Suzette and Kitchen Garden brands. Both brands have a very loyal customer following. The menu also has been designed to cater to a broad spectrum of today’s health-focused consumers who have adopted specific dietary regimes, including non-dairy, vegan, keto, paleo, and gluten friendly," said Deepak Shahdadpuri, Managing Director, DSG Consumer Partners.

Kitchen Garden is a salad and bowl centric QSR concept serving healthy, natural, and organic offerings to the health-conscious urban Indian consumer. At present, Kitchen Garden has seven outlets in Mumbai, including kiosk formats in premium commercial spaces like Platina (BKC) and One Indiabulls Centre (Lower Parel).

“Yuj Ventures is pleased to support Suzette, and their mission to provide healthy, fresh, and tasty food options for India’s increasingly health conscious customers,” added Madhav Soi of Yuj Ventures, which is backed by the family office of Sid Yog, Founding Partner of the Singapore-based Xander Group Inc.
