Bharat Hospitality has announced an ambitious multi-city expansion plan backed by an investment of over ₹50 crore, as the company prepares to scale its footprint to more than 50 outlets over the next three years. The expansion will span major domestic markets including Delhi-NCR, Goa, Hyderabad and Bengaluru, while also marking the group’s international foray into Dubai and Thailand.
Founded in 2023 by entrepreneur Manish Khattar, Bharat Hospitality operates with a strong Make-in-India philosophy. The company’s approach is rooted in building culturally relevant, experience-led dining concepts that revive and reinterpret regional Indian cuisines for contemporary audiences.

Brand Portfolio Driving the Next Phase
Bharat Hospitality currently operates a growing portfolio of distinct brands, including Baraamda, Albert Pinto, and Social Cues. As part of its next phase of expansion, the company plans to significantly scale its existing formats while introducing a new quick-service concept.
The roadmap includes the launch of 20 new Baraamda outlets, 10 Albert Pinto outlets, and 20 outlets of its upcoming QSR brand, Shuddham. Once fully operational, the expanded portfolio is expected to generate annual revenues of approximately ₹300 crore, reflecting the group’s confidence in demand for curated Indian dining experiences across formats and geographies.
Albert Pinto and Shuddham: Distinct Culinary Narratives
Positioned as the group’s flagship brand, Albert Pinto draws inspiration from Goan and Goan-Portuguese culinary heritage, combining food with storytelling and design-led interiors. The format is described as cinematic and immersive, with plans to scale through a hybrid model of franchise-owned and company-owned outlets, allowing faster expansion while maintaining brand consistency.
The upcoming Shuddham brand will enter the quick-service restaurant segment with a sharp focus on South Indian cuisine. The concept aims to spotlight lesser-known regional flavours, presenting them in an accessible, value-driven format tailored for high-footfall urban locations.

The planned expansion is expected to create between 800 and 1,000 jobs across new outlets, spanning operations, culinary teams, service staff and management roles. Alongside scale, Bharat Hospitality stated that sustainability will be a core focus area, with plans to integrate eco-friendly packaging, waste management systems, and energy-efficient kitchen practices across its growing network.
With a clearly defined brand strategy, a strong emphasis on regional Indian cuisines and a balanced mix of dine-in and QSR formats, Bharat Hospitality’s expansion plan positions the group as an emerging player in India’s evolving food and beverage landscape, with aspirations that extend well beyond domestic borders.
