Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha and an active investor in the food and beverage space, has made a fresh bet in the quick service restaurant (QSR) segment by backing Café Amudham, a fast-expanding chain serving traditional South Indian fare.
Known for its flavourful, ghee-rich dosas and idlis, Café Amudham is gaining momentum in cities like Bengaluru and Delhi with a scalable QSR model focused on rapid multi-city expansion.
Kamath, who has previously invested in brands like Third Wave Coffee, is estimated to have infused Rs. 4–5 crore into the venture, as per Indian Startup News. His involvement signals growing investor interest in Indian QSR brands rooted in regional cuisines but structured for national scale.
