Hyderabad: Foodlink F&B Holdings India Pvt Ltd, India’s largest luxury catering enterprise, has announced its expansion into Hyderabad. The company is setting up a full-fledged backend infrastructure and production facility in the city, which will allow it to cater to a wider range of events and clients in the region.

Foodlink was founded in 2003 and has been growing steadily ever since. The company has a global presence, with offices in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Delhi, Antalya, Dubai, and Milan. Its expansion into Hyderabad is part of its larger plan to expand in South India.

The company is targeting a wide range of clients in Hyderabad, including corporates, weddings, and social events. Foodlink is confident that its strong brand and track record will help it succeed in Hyderabad, one of the fastest-growing cities in India.

“Hyderabad is known for Biryani, Badminton, and Bahubali and I have always been a big admirer of its rich cultural heritage and cuisine. We chose the city because it is the hub of trade and commerce leading to a lot of inbound and outbound MICE and grand weddings. With this launch, we aim to transform the luxury catering landscape of the South Indian territories. We plan to invest close to Rs 70 to Rs 100 crores over the coming few months across our luxury catering, banquets and restaurants verticals to establish an indomitable presence here,” said Sanjay Vazirani, CEO of Foodlink F&B Holdings India Pvt Ltd.

The new facility in Hyderabad will be a sprawling 15,000 sq ft well-equipped facility of international standards. It will house 6,000 sq ft of warehouse and 9,000 sq ft of state-of-the-art kitchen facility. The facility will also have bulk food processing facilities, cold kitchens, a bakery, cuisine-specific food production areas, walk-in cold rooms, a vegetable processing centre, a staff training facility, well-equipped conference rooms and offices.

Foodlink is looking to surpass a revenue of Rs 450 crore in this financial year. The company aims to achieve a revenue of Rs 800 to Rs 1,000 crore in the next 3 to 4 years.

Foodlink has a combined capacity of over 10 lakhs meals per day. It has served 75 per cent of Forbes India’s top 100 businesses and families.
