Shark Tank India: From a humble 80 sq ft stall to a Rs 26 cr empire¡ªGabru Di Chaap¡¯s incredible rise!

Move over, regular chaap¡ªGabru Di Chaap is here to take over the world! The street food staple, often overshadowed by kebabs and tikkas, is now having its star moment, thanks to a power duo from Lucknow. Tarunpreet Singh and Randhir Raj Singh, the brains behind Gabru Di Chaap, stepped onto the Shark Tank India stage with nothing but passion, protein-packed chaap, and a spicy pitch that got the sharks drooling¡ªliterally!

Gabru Di Chaap

This isn't just any chaap¡ªGabru Di Chaap is India¡¯s first premium soya chaap brand. And guess what? While Delhi-NCR swears by it, the rest of the world is still catching up. The duo wants to change that and take their mouthwatering chaap global in the next five years!

What started as a humble 80 sq ft store in Hyderabad in 2019 has exploded into 25+ stores across four cities, serving not just chaap but also kebabs, biryanis, burgers, and sandwiches. The journey hasn¡¯t been smooth¡ªsales took a hit during Covid, but Gabru Di Chaap bounced back stronger. From earning Rs 1.09 crore in 2019, they skyrocketed to Rs 19 crore last year and are on track to hit Rs 26 crore in 2024-25. Talk about chaap goals!

Sharks loved the chaaps and their reaction was epic!

When the sharks tasted the products, the feedback was fire! The burger especially stole the show, with the judges raving about the flavors. What sets them apart? Unlike regular soya chaap that¡¯s packed with refined flour, Gabru Di Chaap boasts 23% protein content. Health-conscious foodies, take notes!

The pitch battle was intense. The founders initially asked for Rs 70 lakh for 1% equity. Kunal and Aman backed out, but Vinita, Piyush, and Anupam went all in with competing offers. Anupam finally sealed the deal at Rs 1.4 crore for 6% equity and 1% royalty. Boom!

Shark Tank is a game changer for youth

Reflecting on their journey, Tarunpreet Singh expressed how Shark Tank India has been a game-changer, inspiring not just entrepreneurs but even his 13-year-old son. "At 13, I couldn¡¯t even spell ¡®entrepreneur¡¯ correctly!" he joked.

With their fresh funding and a growing fanbase, Gabru Di Chaap is set to make soya chaap a global sensation. So, what are you waiting for? Go grab a plate of their legendary chaap and join the hype!
