About Rebel Foods

**Rebel Foods — company profile** Rebel Foods is a Mumbai, Maharashtra-headquartered foodtech company founded in 2011 by Jaydeep Barman and Kallol Banerjee, together with co-founders Sagar Kochhar, Ankur Sharma, Ankush Grover, Raghav Joshi and Soumyadeep Barman. It started as a physical restaurant chain with online ordering (as Faasos), opened its first cloud kitchen in 2015, and moved to an exclusively cloud-kitchen model in 2016. Its core innovation is an internet-restaurant operating system that runs multiple delivery-only brands out of a single shared kitchen, letting it add brands without proportionate real-estate cost. Rebel operates a portfolio of own brands including Faasos, Behrouz Biryani, Oven Story Pizza, Mandarin Oak, Lunch Box, The Good Bowl, Sweet Truth, Firangi Bake, The Brooklyn Creamery and The Biryani Life; company material cites 25+ own brands. It runs 450+ cloud kitchens across 75 cities in 10 countries — India, Indonesia, the UAE, the UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Hong Kong and the Philippines — and claims to be the largest cloud-kitchen restaurant chain in the world. Beyond its own brands, its Rebel Launcher Program (2018) hosts third-party restaurant brands on the same platform, effectively turning its kitchen network into infrastructure-as-a-service; it created the EatSure delivery service and food-truck operations in 2020, signed a December 2020 partnership with Wendy's for 250 cloud kitchens, and acquired a majority stake in luxury chocolate brand Smoor in April 2022. For FY23 it reported revenue of ₹1,195 crore (about $130 million) against a net loss of ₹656 crore (about $69 million). Investors include Sequoia Capital, Coatue Management, Lightbox Ventures and the Qatar Investment Authority; its 2021 Series F valued the company at $1.4 billion, making it a unicorn. Its careers material describes an open, transparent and encouragement-led culture built on five stated Rebel Values. **Industry:** Foodtech / Cloud Kitchens **Headquarters:** Mumbai, Maharashtra, India **Official website:** https://www.rebelfoods.com/ **Why work here as a fresher** Rebel Foods is the kind of company where early-career talent is given real scope rather than busywork. Interns and freshers are placed on live problems, paired with experienced mentors, and reviewed on the same quality bar as everyone else. That combination — real ownership plus real feedback — is what turns a first role into a genuine career head start. **Culture** Expect a fast-paced, outcome-oriented environment with flat communication, short feedback loops and a strong bias for action. Teams are small enough that your contribution is visible and large enough that you learn from people who have already solved the problem you are facing. Learning, curiosity and honest debate are valued over hierarchy. **Growth & hiring** Rebel Foods hires internships across engineering, data, product, design, marketing, finance and operations, and a meaningful share of its early-career hires convert to full-time offers. All openings are published on the company's official careers page, and applications for this role are submitted directly to Rebel Foods there — no middlemen, no aggregators.
