Directors & Key Management

GST Registrations

Primary GSTIN identified as 06AAICC7285J1Z8 (Haryana, state code 06), registration year ~2021, turnover slab reported as 0–40 lakh, status "active." This is based on a search-aggregator result plus a partially-masked match on IndiaMART's verified listing (06••••••••1Z8) — treated as PARTIAL confidence since no single fetched registry page displayed the full unmasked GSTIN directly. Home state: Haryana. Number of registrations: only 1 GSTIN found (Haryana), consistent with a Gurugram-only physical/registered presence, though the company's multi-city service footprint (Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai) suggests additional state GSTINs may exist that were not found — not obtained.

Financials

• Standalone financials, entity is unlisted, no consolidated group filings found.
• Only FY2025, year ended Mar-2025, figures are publicly surfaced: Revenue ₹1.31 crore, up ~15% YoY from an implied FY2024 revenue of ~₹1.10-1.14 crore, TheCompanyCheck, corroborated directionally by Inc42's "15.09% increase from FY24 ₹1.1 Cr".
• EBITDA, PAT and net worth are behind paywalls on TheCompanyCheck ("Locked") — not obtained.
• Auditor for FY2023 named as Sandeep Ahuja & Co., TheCompanyCheck.
• No borrowings/charges registered with RoC, see Charges section, — consistent with a company of this small revenue scale being roughly seed/pre-Series-A stage rather than an operator of the "Curefoods/large cloud-kitchen" scale peers.

Funding History

• ChefKart has raised early-stage funding across multiple rounds, though aggregators disagree on the cumulative total, $2.62M per one Tracxn-derived figure vs $4.15M over 5 rounds/51 investors per another, — reported as a range, not a confirmed single figure.
• Known named rounds: (1) Pre-seed, ~$300K, announced Aug 2021 — investors: Titan Capital, Lead Angels, Pravega Ventures, Manyavar Family Office (Ravi Modi), Vipul Allawadhi, Puja Vijayvargiya, BW Disrupt, StartupLab. (2) Seed, $2M, announced Jul 2022 — led by Pravega Ventures and Blume Ventures, with participation from Titan Capital, Tremis Capital, LetsVenture, and angels Deepinder Goyal (Zomato) and Kunal Shah (CRED), IndianStartupNews, Entrepreneur India, TheStoryWatch. (3) A further/Series-A-stage round referenced by Inc42 as occurring "June 2024" but amount/investors not obtained from sources checked.
• Round-name/count details per Tracxn snippet only, not independently opened.

Shareholding

• Not obtained — cap table/shareholding pattern is behind TheCompanyCheck's premium paywall
• No free source surfaced shareholder names or percentages. Known qualitative facts: three co-founders, Vaibhav Gupta, Aman Gupta, Arpit Gupta, plus the investors named in the Funding section are presumed shareholders, but no % breakdown confirmed.

Loans & Charges

• TheCompanyCheck explicitly states: "Chefkart Hospitality Private Limited does not have any charges (loans) registered with the Registrar of Companies." Single-source but a specific, checkable negative claim — treated as confirmed/reasonably reliable pending a second source.

Related Parties

• Not obtained. No group/related-party entities were surfaced in any source
• The "Arpit Gupta — individual promoter" designation is the only related-party-type data point found, and it pertains to this entity itself, not a separate related company.

Credit Ratings

• None found. No CRISIL/ICRA/CARE rating exists or was located for Chefkart Hospitality Private Limited, consistent with a small, unlisted, early-stage startup that has not sought bank/NCD-linked credit rating.

Legal & Compliance

• Indian Kanoon search for "Chefkart Hospitality" returned no matching case results — none found / no litigation history surfaced.

Competitive Landscape

• Named peers in the India home-chef / on-demand cooking marketplace space, per RocketReach/CBInsights/Owler aggregation: COOX, Cookzy, Cookizy, Bengaluru-based, reported unfunded, BookMyChef, Cook and Chef, Handychef, Charcoal Eats.
• Adjacent broader-scale competitor/comparator: Urban Company, much larger, multi-category home-services marketplace, unicorn-scale — not a direct pure-play but frequently cited as a comparator.
• ChefKart itself is early-stage/seed-to-Series-A scale, ~₹1.3 Cr FY25 revenue, ~48-82 employees per EPFO/Tracxn estimates, — materially smaller than Urban Company.
